Universal Citation: NJ Admin Code 7:27B-1.5
Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 24, December 18, 2024
(a) The sampling train normally used by the Department is shown on page 1 of Appendix 1 and shall consist of the following:
1. A
sampling nozzle (A) [FN*] made of stainless steel (316) and having a sharp,
tapered leading edge. Its internal diameter shall be of an appropriate size to
permit a sampling rate that is as close as possible to 0.75 CFM at isokinetic
conditions;
2. A glass-lined
stainless steel probe (B) * with a heating system capable of maintaining the
temperature of the sample gas passing through it sufficiently high to prevent
condensation of Water from occurring and a temperature sensor (T[1]) * to
indicate the sample gas temperature;
3. A high-vacuum hose (C) * with a smooth,
inert inner wall and with a heating system capable of maintaining the
temperature of the sample gas passing through it sufficiently high to prevent
condensation of water from occurring, and a temperature sensor (T[2]) * to
indicate the sample gas temperature. In lieu of this hose, direct coupling of
the probe (B) * and the glass cyclone and filter assembly (D[1] and D[2]) * may
be used;
4. A sample collector
consisting of a glass cyclone(D[1]) * followed by a glass fiber filter
(Reeve-Angel 934AH **, MSA 1106BH ** or approved equivalent) in a glass holder
(D[2]) *. The cyclone and filter assembly shall have a heating system (D) *
capable of maintaining the temperature of the sample gas passing through it
sufficiently high to prevent condensation of water from occurring, and a
temperature sensor (T[3]) * to indicate the sample gas temperature. The use of
the cyclone is optional when it is not necessary to prevent the filter from
being overloaded by large particles;
5. A condenser system (E) * consisting of a
Greenburg-Smith impinger (E[1]) * containing 100 ml. distilled water followed
by a modified Greenburg-Smith impinger (E[2]) * (dry) for mist knockout, both
immersed in an ice bath;
6. A
drying tube (F) * containing Drierite ** or silica gel;
7. A hose (G) * capable of holding a vacuum
of at least 15 inches of mercury;
8. A leak-free pump (H) * with coarse (H[1])
* and fine (H[2]) * flow control adjusters and vacuum gauge (P) *;
9. A dry gas test meter (I) * accurate within
two per cent and temperature sensors (T[4]) * to indicate the sample gas inlet
and outlet temperatures;
10. An
orifice meter (J) * with an inclined manometer (M[2]) * as described in APCO
Publication APTD-0581 (Reference 2);
11. A thermocouple (K) * attached to the
probe (B) * its sensing portion adjacent to the sampling nozzle (A) * and
equipped with a temperature sensor (T[5]) to indicate the stack gas
temperature;
12. An "S" type pitot
tube (L) [FN*] attached to the probe (B) * with its sensing portion adjacent to
the nozzle and equipped with a differential pressure gauge (M[1]) * (inclined
manometer or equivalent) to measure velocity head to within ten percent of the
minimum value as determined during the preliminary traverse;
13. All glassware (cyclone, filter holder and
impingers) should be interconnected with glass fittings having ball
joints.
(b) When tests are performed to determine actual or potential emission rates, all outlets will be sampled simultaneously. When tests are performed to determine the efficiency of air pollution control apparatus, each inlet to and outlet from the control apparatus must be sampled simultaneously.
(c) All measuring devices including, but not limited to, pitot tubes, meters, gauges and thermocouples shall be properly calibrated and maintained to provide accurate data.
