    The document summarizes testing of a STIHL leaf blower. Key details include: 1) Various sensors were used to measure the leaf blower's exhaust emissions, temperature, rpm, and exit velocity at different rpm levels. 2) Calibration curves were developed to convert sensor voltages to measurements of CO percentage and hydrocarbon levels. 3) Testing found the average exit velocity was 4068 fpm at 2500 rpm and 11,604 fpm at 7200 rpm, with corresponding emissions and temperature readings.
