Summary of Practice4.1 A procedure for ambient air analyzer practices has beenoutlined. It presents definitions and terms, sa

24、mpling informa-tion, calibration techniques, methods for validating results, andgeneral comments related to ambient air analyzer methods ofanalysis. This is intended to be a common reference methodwhich can be applied to all automatic analyzers in thiscategory.5. Significance and Use5.1 The signific

25、ance of this practice is adequately covered inSection 1.6. Hazards6.1 Each analyzer installation should be given a thoroughsafety engineering study.36.2 Electrically the analyzer system as well as the individualcomponents shall meet all code requirements for the particulararea classification.6.2.1 A

26、ll analyzers using 120-V, a-c, 60-Hz, 3-wire systemsshould observe proper polarity and should not use mechanicaladapters for 2-wire outlets.6.2.2 The neutral side of the power supply at the analyzershould be checked to see that it is at ground potential.6.2.3 The analyzers ground connection should b

27、e checkedto earth ground for proper continuity.6.2.4 Any analyzer containing electrically heated sectionsshould have a temperature-limit device.6.2.5 The analyzer, and any related electrical equipment (thesystem), should have a power cut-off switch, and a fuse orbreaker, on the “hot” side of the lin

28、e(s) of each device.6.3 Full consideration must be given to safe disposal of theanalyzers spent samples and reagents.6.4 Pressure relief valves, if applicable, shall be provided toprotect both the analyzer and analyzer system.6.5 Precautions should be taken when using cylinders con-taining gases or

29、liquids under pressure. Helpful guidance maybe obtained from Ref (1), (2), (3), (4), and (5).46.5.1 Gas cylinders must be fastened to a rigid structure andnot exposed to direct sun light or heat.6.5.2 Special safety precautions should be taken when usingor storing combustible or toxic gases to ensur

30、e that the systemis safe and free from leaks.7. Installation of Analyzer System7.1 Assure that information required for installation andoperation of the analyzer system is supplied by the manufac-turer.7.2 Study operational data and design parameters furnishedby the supplier before installation.7.3

31、Review all sample requirements with the equipmentsupplier. The supplier must completely understand the appli-cation and work closely with the user and installer. It isabsolutely necessary to define carefully all conditions ofintended operation, components in the atmosphere to beanalyzed, and expecte

32、d variations in sample composition.3The user, equipment supplier, and installer should be familiar with require-ments of the National Electrical Code, any local applicable electrical code, U.L.Safety Codes, and the Occupational Safety ” ISA RP12.1, “Electrical Instruments in Hazardous Atmospheres;”

33、ISARP12.2, “Intrinsically Safe and Nonincendive Electrical Instruments;” ISA RP12.4,“Instrument Purging for Reduction of Hazardous Area Classification;” and APRP550, “Installation of Refinery Instruments and Control Systems, Part II.”4The boldface numbers in parentheses may be found in the Reference

34、 section atthe end of this method.D 3249 95 (2005)27.4 Choose materials of construction in contact with theambient air sample to be analyzed to prevent reaction ofmaterials with the sample, sorption of components from thesample, and entrance of contaminants through infusion ordiffusion (6), (7), (8)

35、, (9).7.4.1 Choose materials of construction and components ofthe analyzer system to withstand the environment in which it isinstalled.7.4.2 Avoid the use of pipe-thread compounds in favor ofpolytetrafluorethylene tape.7.5 Select the sampling point so as to provide a representa-tive and measurable s

36、ample as close as possible to the samplesystem and analyzer (see Practice D 1357).7.5.1 Provide a convenient access to the entire analyzersystem.7.5.2 Provide a necessary connection for introducing stan-dard samples or withdrawing laboratory check samples imme-diately upstream of the analyzer sampli

37、ng system.7.6 Sample lines should be as short as practical.7.6.1 Install the analyzers exhaust so that no liquid or gaspressure buildup will occur. Provide proper venting, as far aspossible from the sampling point.7.7 After the installation has been completed, allow theanalyzer to stabilize before t

38、esting performance specifications.8. Calibration8.1 One of the most important steps in analyzer operation isproper calibration of the instrument. Various calibration tech-niques may be used depending on the samples physical orchemical property requiring measurement. Frequency of cali-bration depends

39、 largely on the application, degree of accuracy,and reliability expected. Perform calibration using spotsamples (ambient) or a standard reference sample and utilizethe analyzer adjustments as recommended by the manufacturer.Consult the supplier to determine the calibration procedurenecessary for the

40、 particular analysis involved as preliminaryinstrument adjustments using zero and upscale standards maybe necessary. Charts and calibration curves are essential andshould be routinely verified.8.1.1 In all cases, standard used for calibration purposesmust be as representative as possible of the atmo

41、sphere to beanalyzed, but cannot always contain all potential interferingsubstances.8.2 Spot Sample Calibration MethodAsample is removedfrom the sampling line close to the analyzer inlet during aperiod when the sample flowing through the line is of uniformcomposition and the analyzer readout has rea

42、ched an equilib-rium value.8.2.1 When this condition is reached, withdraw a samplefrom the inlet stream for analysis using the appropriate ASTMtest method for the component of interest.8.2.2 For most applications, a minimum of nine samples arerequired, and these shall be withdrawn each cycle for int

43、ermit-tent analyzers or for continuous analyzers after a stableresponse is achieved.8.2.3 After each spot sample has been removed, record it asto time, sample number, date and corresponding analyzerreadout. This equivalent readout is used in establishing a singlecalibration point.8.2.4 Each spot sam

44、ple must be analyzed in duplicate usingthe corresponding ASTM test method and the two resultsaveraged. The standard deviation for the spot sample iscalculated as the difference (larger value minus the smallervalue) divided by=2 . If this standard deviation exceeds thetest method repeatability limit,

45、 r, (see Practice E 177) then thattest average must be discarded. (This assumes that a repeat-ability limit has been determined for the test method and thelaboratory conducting the test. This rejection criterion willdiscard 5 % of the spot sample results even if the test methodis operating properly.

46、)8.2.5 Determine the amount of calibration offset by averag-ing the deviations, as shown in Table 1, and correct theanalyzer readout accordingly. It may be necessary to review themanufacturers recommended procedure for making calibra-tion offset adjustments.8.3 Standard Sample Calibration Method Use

47、 a standardreference sample in accordance with the ASTM test methodchosen, or by generating a known sample concentration, usingNIST calibrated permeation tubes (see Practice D 3609).8.3.1 A standard sample benchmark analysis is made byaveraging the results of at least nine determinations using theco

48、rresponding ASTM test method. This average value isacceptable for benchmark analysis only if the correspondingstandard deviation is lower in magnitude than the test methodsrepeatability limit, r, (see Practice E 177).8.3.2 Check all operating parameters of the system inaccordance with the instrument

49、 specifications and data forspecific analysis.Allow sufficient time for the analyzer to reachequilibrium as indicated by a stable output.8.3.3 Introduce the standard reference sample into theanalyzer using the recommended instrument operational pro-cedure. Activate the readout equipment.8.3.4 After sufficient standard has been allowed to flowthrough the analyzer, adjust the readout to conform with thebenchmark value. This establishes a single calibration point.8.3.5 Continue introducing standard sample and recordanalysis after a stable response is achi
