DANSK DS/ISO 11338-1 PDF

This part of ISO 11338 describes methods for the determination of the mass concentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in flue gas emissions from stationary sources such as aluminium smelters, coke works, waste incinerators, power stations and industrial and domestic combustion appliances. This part of ISO 11338 describes three sampling methods, which are here regarded as of equivalent value, and specifies the minimum requirements for effective PAH sampling. The three sampling mehtods are the dilution method (A), the heated filter/condenser/adsorber method (B) and the cooled probe/adsorber method (C). All three methods are based on representative isokinetic sampling, as the PAHs are commonly associated with particles in flue gas. Information is provided to assist in the choice of the appropriate sampling mehtod for the measurement application under consideration. This part of ISO 11338 is not applicable to the sampling of fugitive releases of PAHs.
