In order to validate the models for NO{sub x}, CO, and lean blowoff discussed in part 2 of this paper, the development of an experimental datum base was initiated. Experimental data were collected from an industrial, piloted-lean premixed, natural gas fired, can combustor rig. The experiments were designed in order to minimize testing cost and time. Independent variations of inlet pressure (8 to 14 atm), inlet temperature (550 to 750 K), and residence time (13 and 23 ms) were performed in order to gain insight into the sensitivity of the emissions levels to changes in combustor operating conditions
