Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the su

According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,

27、Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey a

PD CEN/TS 16976:2016 CEN/TS 16976:2016 (E) 6 Introduction There is a growing awareness of the significance of aerosol particles with diameters of D 1 m for human health as well as for their climatic impact. To assess air quality, it appears necessary to supplement gravimetrica

29、lly determined mass concentrations such as PM 10 or PM 2.5 with a measurement of the particle number concentration. Since ultrafine particles with diameters of D 0,1 m make an almost insignificant contribution to the mass of atmospheric aerosol particles, they can best be detected with counting meas

30、uring methods of sufficient sensitivity. As particle measurement instrumentation allows determining either the particle number concentration or the particle number size distribution two Technical Specifications will be established: one dealing with the determination of the single parameter number co

31、ncentration (a measure of “total” number concentration), one dealing with the determination of number concentration within a limited number of size ranges. Clauses 5 and 6 contain general information about the method and the expected properties of the aerosol to be measured. Clause 7 sets out the pe

32、rformance criteria for CPCs. Specifically, these are the relevant performance characteristics of CPC instruments (without any sampling system), the respective criteria that shall be met, and a description of how the tests shall be carried out. In general these tests are expected to be carried out by

33、 test houses or CPC manufacturers rather than users, and could form the basis for type testing of CPCs in future. Clause 8 sets out the performance criteria and test procedures for the sampling and conditioning system (e.g. dilution). These may be applied by manufacturers of sampling systems, test h

34、ouses or users (network operators). Clause 9 sets out requirements for the installation, initial checks and calibrations, and operation of a CPC and sampling system at a monitoring site, including routine maintenance, data processing (including use of QA/QC data) and reporting. In general these will

35、 be the responsibility of users (network operators), though calibrations requiring test aerosols shall only be carried out by suitably qualified laboratories. Clause 10 sets out Quality Assurance and Quality Control procedures, i.e. the ongoing checks and calibrations that are required on the CPC an

36、d sampling system during operation at a monitoring site. It is expected that these will be the responsibility of users (network operators), though calibrations requiring test aerosols shall only be carried out by suitably qualified laboratories. The main sources of measurement uncertainty are descri

PD CEN/TS 16976:2016 CEN/TS 16976:2016 (E) 7 1 Scope This Technical Specification describes a standard method for determining the particle number concentration in ambient air in a range up to about 10 7cm 3for averaging times equal to or larger than 1 min. The standard method is based on a Cond

38、ensation Particle Counter (CPC) operated in the counting mode and an appropriate dilution system for concentrations exceeding the counting mode range. It also defines the performance characteristics and the minimum requirements of the instruments to be used. The lower and upper sizes considered with

39、in this document are 7 nm and a few micrometres, respectively. This document describes sampling, operation, data processing and QA/QC procedures including calibration parameters. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are

41、d definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 actual flow rate volumetric flow rate of an individual instrument, measured at its inlet under the actual air conditions 3.2 aerosol a multi-phase system of solid and/or liquid particles suspended in a ga

42、s, ranging in particle size from 0,001 m to 100 m 3.3 calculation flow rate flow rate which directly relates count rate and particle number concentration Note 1 to entry: This flow rate is used for instrument internal calculation of the particle number concentration. It depends on the instrument typ

43、e and may be nominal, factory-certified or actual inlet flow rate. It may also include a calibration factor unless the total inlet flow is analysed. 3.4 coincidence error error that occurs with counting measuring methods when two or more particles are counted simultaneously as a single particle Note

44、 1 to entry: Coincidence error is related to particle number concentration, flow velocity through the sensing zone and size of sensing zone. PD CEN/TS 16976:2016 CEN/TS 16976:2016 (E) 8 3.5 detection efficiency ratio of the particle number concentration determined by the measuring instrument to the

45、reference particle number concentration of the aerosol at the instruments inlet Note 1 to entry: The detection efficiency depends on particle size and may depend on particle number concentration. 3.6 factory-certified flow rate volumetric flow rate of an individual instrument at the time of factory

46、calibration, measured at its inlet under the actual air conditions, and documented on a check out certificate 3.7 nominal flow rate volumetric flow rate indicated on the instrument specification sheet by the manufacturer Note 1 to entry: The nominal flow rate is that flow rate, which a specific CPC

47、model is designed for by the manufacturer. The real flow rate of individual instruments may differ from the nominal flow due to manufacturing tolerances. 3.8 number size distribution frequency distribution of the particle number concentration represented as a function of particle size 3.9 particle s

48、mall piece of matter with defined physical boundary Note 1 to entry: The phase of a particle can be solid, liquid, or between solid and liquid and a mixture of any of the phases. SOURCE: ISO 27891:2015, modified 3.10 particle number concentration number of particles related to the unit volume of the

49、 carrier gas Note 1 to entry: For the exact particle number concentration indication, information on the gaseous condition (temperature and pressure) or the reference to a standard volume indication is necessary. SOURCE: ISO 27891:2015 4 Atmospheric aerosol Atmospheric aerosols are strongly dependent on their local and regional sources. Especially, the size distribution in number and mass, as well as the size-resolved chemical composition are highly variable. Aerosol particles are either emitted directly (primary aerosols) or formed by nucleation and condensati
