An apparatus for measuring particulate matters includes a particulate
matters collecting part 1 that collects particulate matters contained in
exhaust gas from an engine 200 by a collecting filter 41 during a
predetermined period while the engine 200 is dynamically driven. A second
measuring part 22 continuously measures properties indirectly indicating
the mass of the particulate matters contained in the exhaust gas during
the predetermined period. A correlation calculating part 82 calculates a
correlation between the measurement result of the mass of the particulate
matters collected by the particulate matters collecting part 1 and a time
integration value of the measurement result in the second measuring part
22 during the predetermined period. A converting part 83 converts the
continuous measurement data in the second measuring part 22 into a time
series variation of the mass of the particulate matters based on the
correlation.
