Diesel smoke testing in Almaty

What is measured

The operator’s requirements express smoke opacity using the coefficient k. Assessment conditions depend on vehicle category and characteristics, including the applicable engine requirements.

A specialist using the relevant measurement procedure should compare the result with its limit.

Emissions-control equipment

The operator separately describes particulate-filter requirements and, for relevant configurations, SCR, AdBlue reagent and sensors. Read these requirements in the context of the original vehicle specification and transport type.

If the result is unsatisfactory

Confirm the measured values and identified non-compliance. Further diagnosis and repair depend on the vehicle’s condition. The station will explain the conditions for another test.
