  53.62 Test procedure: Full wind tunnel test.
Effectiveness is the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of the mass concentration of particles of a specific size reaching the sampler filter or filters to the mass concentration of particles of the same size approaching the sampler.
The cross-sectional uniformity of the particle concentration in the sampling zone of the test section shall be established during the tests using an array of isokinetic samplers, referred to as a rake.
After cross-sectional uniformity has been confirmed, a single isokinetic sampler may be used in place of the array of isokinetic samplers for the determination of particle mass concentration used in the calculation of sampling effectiveness of the test sampler in paragraph (d)(5) of this section.

 Concentration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Often in informal, non-technical language, concentration is described in a qualitative way, through the use of adjectives such as "dilute" or "weak" for solutions of relatively low concentration and of others like "concentrated" or "strong" for solutions of relatively high concentration.
Mass percentage denotes the mass of a substance in a mixture as a percentage of the mass of the entire mixture.
This works fine for gas concentrations (e.g., ppmv of carbon dioxide in the ambient air) but, for concentrations of non-gaseous substances such as aerosols, cloud droplets, and particulate matter in the ambient air, the concentrations are commonly expressed as μg/m³ or mg/m³ (e.g., μg or mg of particulates per cubic metre of ambient air).

 Mass DEP :: MA DEP - URANIUM ACTIVITY TO MASS CONVERSION FACTOR GUIDELINE
The regulatory level for uranium in drinking water is reported in mass units (ug/l) and results that are reported in activity units (picocuries per liter or pCi/l), must be converted to the appropriate mass units to make the appropriate determination of whether or not the system is in compliance.
Activity to mass conversion factors range from 0.67 to 1.5 pCi/ug (USEPA 2000) and the major challenge is to determine which factor is most appropriate to use to calculate an exposure point concentration for compliance monitoring or to use in a human health risk assessment.
Therefore, the concentration calculated using the default activity to mass ratio is likely to be an overestimate of the true concentration and it is therefore appropriate to compare to the MCL as a screening evaluation.

 Local Mass Closure
mass derived from the number size distribution where a) the number distribution was converted to a volume size distribution and b) density derived from the 7-stage impactor measurements was used to convert from a volume to a mass size distribution.
One further comparison of gravimetrically-determined mass was made wherein impactor samples collected at the base of the sampling mast at 50% RH were compared to open face filter samples collected outside near the inlet of the sampling mast.
This agreement indicates that the aerosol mass concentration was similar at the two platforms and that, perhaps, the gravimetrically-determined mass at Cape Grim is too high.

Effectiveness is determined by measuring the aerosol mass concentration sampled by the candidate sampler's after filter versus that which exists in a static chamber.
The aerosol concentration is calculated as the measured aerosol mass divided by the sampled air volume.
Effectiveness under static conditions is the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of the mass concentration of particles of a given size reaching the sampler filter to the mass concentration of particles of the same size existing in the test atmosphere.

The dissolved oxygen concentration in the culture medium is monitored in situ by a galvanic probe containing a silver anode and a lead electrode in an acetate electrolyte.
The current generated is proportional to the dissolved oxygen concentration in the culture medium and is calibrated with the maximum solubility of oxygen in the culture medium when sparged with pure oxygen.

 Mass concentration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A mass concentration or mascon is a region of a planet or moon's crust that contains a large positive gravitational anomaly.
In general, the word "mascon" can be used as a noun to describe an excess distribution of mass on or beneath the surface of a planet (with respect to some suitable average), such as Hawaii.
However, this term is most often used as an adjective to describe a geologic structure that has a positive gravitational anomaly, such as the "mascon basins" on the Moon.

 Orbital heating and bulge shocking
Because heating rates depend on cluster profile, tidal truncation and orbit, comparisons in different physical regimes are needed to demonstrate the primary influences of heating on cluster evolution.
In these comparisons, clusters of a particular mass and concentration are identical and clusters of differing mass and concentration possess the mean density required for tidal limitation.
In many cases, evaporation time does not vary strongly with concentration for the same orbit and mass, indicating that overall mass loss rates are insensitive to initial concentration.

 Real-Time Mass Concentration Spectrometer - CTS Research Project Database
This project develops a new sensor capable of measuring mass concentrations of aerosol particles resolved into a number of size bins in real time.
The mass concentrations in all size bins would be simultaneously sampled with essentially instantaneous sampling time, and the sampling rate would be adjustable such that the time history of the concentrations in each bin would be continuously monitored in real time.
The new sensor uses a combination of inertial separation and optical sensing to obtain the necessary sensitivity to particle mass with the desired time response.
