Description / Abstract:
General
This International Standard specifies procedures for the
extraction and measurement of filterable particulate matter from
stationary source flue gas samples by:
— the use of cyclone samplers;
— the measurement of condensed particulate matter using dilution
sampling technique, which simulates the interaction of stack gas
components with the atmosphere as they mix after the stack
exit.
This International Standard provides for the use of two types of
sampling train.
— Basic sampling train, a basic sampling train to measure
filterable particles using sampling cyclones that can distinguish
between particle sizes in the range of 2,5 μm and 10 μm. This
method is especially suitable for measurements of particle mass
concentrations above 50 mg/m3 a s a halfhourly average
at standard conditions (293 K, 1 013 hPa, dry gas) and applies to
primary particulate matter (PM) emissions equal to or less than an
aerodynamic diameter of nominally 10 μm (PM10) from
stacks or ducts.
— Dilution sampling train, a dilution sampling train that
utilizes a dilution chamber that mixes flue gas with conditioned
dilution air to simulate the interaction of the stack gas
components with ambient air. This simulation process may lead to
the condensation of particulate matter that might not otherwise be
produced in the basic sampling train. The dilution sampling train
uses in-stack sampling cyclones to measure filterable particles in
the same manner as the basic sampling train, but in addition,
utilizes additional PM2,5 and/or PM10
cyclones in the sampling train to measure particles formed in the
dilution chamber.
This method is intended for the measurement of mass
concentrations of particles smaller than 2,5 μm aerodynamic
diameter (PM2,5) using weighing techniques. The method
can be used to measure mass concentrations of particles with
aerodynamic diameter smaller than 10 μm aerodynamic diameter
(PM10) or particles with aerodynamic diameters between
2,5 μm and 10 μm.
In this method, the dilution sampling train can be used in
combination with the basic sampling train, using PM10
and/or PM2,5 depending upon the test objectives. The
dilution sampling system is intendedfor applications where
measurement is required of particles similar in characteristics to
materials formed when a flue gas exhaust mixes with ambient
air.
Particulate matter filter samples collected using dilution
sampling can be further analysed to provide chemical composition
data that are applicable for developing PM2,5 or
PM10 emission inventories, visibility impact
assessments, health risk assessments, and source–receptor studies
related to PM2,5 and PM10 emissions.
This method is not applicable to the determination of ultrafine
particles with an aerodynamic diameter of less than 0,1 μm. This
method has been applied to emission sources with low moisture and
saturated moisture stack gases; however, it is not applicable to
effluents where entrained water droplets are presented.
NOTE Optionally, with additional equipment, as well as sampling
and analytical procedures not described in the method, PM chemical
speciation and particle size can be determined by applying ambient
air sample collection and analysis methods to the diluted stack
samples obtained by using this method. In addition, the
concentration of gaseous precursors that can contribute to the
formation of particulate matter, e.g. SO2,
NOx, ammonia, SO3, HCl, volatile organic
comounds (VOCs), can be determined using suitable analytical
equipment to measure the diluted samples.
