Summary of Test Method4.1 An atmospheric sample is introduced into a sampleconditioning system and then into a nondispersive infraredspectrometer (NDIR). The spectrometer measures the absorp-tion by CO at 4.7 m using two parallel infrared

9、 beams througha sample and a reference cell and a selective detector. Thedetector signal is conducted to an amplifier control section, andthe analyzer output measured on a meter and recording system(2).4.1.1 Some instruments use gas filter correlation to comparethe IR absorption spectrum between the

10、 measured gas andother gases present in the gas being sampled, in a single samplecell. These instruments utilize a concentrated sample of CO asa filter for the IR transmitted through the sample cell toproduce a beam that cannot be further attenuated by the CO inthe sample, and thus produces the refe

11、rence beam. Thebroadband radiation that passes through the sample cell and theCO filter is filtered again by a narrow-band-pass filter thatallows only the CO-sensitive portion of the band to pass to thedetector. The removal of wavelengths sensitive to other gasesreduces interferences.1This test meth

Significance and Use5.1 Determination of carbon monoxide is essential to evalu-ation of many air pollution complexes. This test methodderives significance from providing such determination.5.2 Ca

16、rbon monoxide is formed in the process of incom-plete combustion of hydrocarbon fuels, and is a constituent ofthe exhaust of gasoline engines. The Environmental ProtectionAgency (EPA) has set primary and secondary air qualitystandards for CO that are designed to protect the public healthand welfare

17、(3, 4).5.3 This test method is suitable for measurements appropri-ate for the purposes noted in 5.1 and 5.2.6. Interferences6.1 Degree of interference varies among individual instru-ments. Consult manufacturers specifications for the particularanalyzer to determine whether interferences render the i

18、nstru-ment unsuitable for the proposed use.6.2 The primary interferent is water vapor. With no correc-tion, the error may be as high as 11 mg CO/m3map edit n (10ppm(v) (5).6.2.1 Water vapor interference can be minimized by usingone of the following steps:6.2.1.1 Passing the air sample through silica

19、 gel or similardrying agent.6.2.1.2 Maintaining constant humidity in the sample andcalibration gases by refrigeration.6.2.1.3 Saturating the air sample and calibration gases tomaintain constant humidity.6.2.1.4 Using narrow-band optical filters in combinationwith some of the above measures.6.2.1.5 W

20、here sample is dried or humidified a volumecorrection may be necessary.6.2.1.6 Gas correlation spectrometers minimize interfer-ences and use a narrow-band-pass filter to ensure measuringonly the CO-sensitive IR wavelengths.6.3 Interference may be caused by carbon dioxide (CO2).The effect of CO2inter

21、ference at concentrations normallypresent in ambient air is minimal; that is, 1350 mg (750ppm(v) CO2/m3may give a response equivalent to 0.6 mgCO/m3(0.5 ppm(v) (5).6.4 Hydrocarbons at concentrations normally found in theambient air do not ordinarily interfere; that is, 325 mgmethane/m3(500 ppm(v) ma

22、y give a response equivalent to0.6 mg CO/m3(0.5 ppm(v) (5).7.

Precision and BiasNOTE 1The precision statements are based on an interlaboratorystudy conducted by Southwest Res

36、earch Institute, Houston, Tex., in 1972on three samples of carbon monoxide in dry air. Three master cylinders ofgas containing nominal concentrations of 8, 30, and 53 mg/m3wereprepared and subsamples in high-pressure cylinders were submitted to thecollaborating laboratories. Each subsample was analy

37、zed in triplicate andthe analyses replicated on 2 more days for a total of 810 determinations.The results from the 15 laboratories were evaluated by the proceduredescribed in Practice E180.14.1 Precision: (6)14.1.1 Triplicate AnalysisReport the carbon monoxide(CO) content to 0.1 mg/m3. Triplicate ru

38、ns (Note 2) with arange of 0.6 mg/m3are acceptable for averaging (95 %confidence level).5NOTE 2Duplicate runs that agree within 0.5 mg/m3are acceptable foraveraging (95 % confidence level).14.1.2 Repeatability (Single Analyst)The standard devia-tion of the mean (each the average of triplicate determ

39、inations)obtained by the same analyst on different days has beenestimated to 0.44 mg/m3at 140 df. Two such values should beconsidered suspect (95 % confidence level) if they differ bymore than 1.2 mg/m3(see Note 2).5Supporting data giving the results of the collaborative test have been filed atASTM,
