Opacimeter
NA9000

Partial-flow opacity analyser for Diesel engines — range 0 to 99.9% and K coefficient 0 to 9.99 m⁻¹, INMETRO approved. Automatic calibration and automatic lens cleaning.

NAPRO NA9000 Opacimeter

Complete, integrated opacity measurement system for Diesel

The NA9000 is NAPRO's partial-flow opacimeter equipped with a microprocessor-controlled module. The system measures exhaust gas opacity in Diesel engines with automatic calibration and built-in system diagnostics, ensuring accurate and traceable measurements throughout the working day.

The automatic lens-cleaning system and LED emitter guarantee stability and long intervals between maintenance. Approved by INMETRO and compliant with NBR 12897, NBR 13037, ISO, PTB and French (MOT) regulations, the NA9000 is accepted by the leading vehicle inspection and emissions control programmes in Brazil and Europe.
