I. INTRODUCTION
The objective of this test was to determine a test method for sampling
beryllium emissions from metal machining operations. The test was conducted
at Speedring Manufacturing, Incorporated, in Cullman, Alabama, on October 25-
26, 1971. i
This metal machining shop controlls their beryllium emissions using a
"wet" baghouse. Standard cutting oil emulsions of various types, when used,
are drawn into the vacuum inlets which are placed at the interface of the
cutting tool and the machined piece; when they reach the bag, they "wet" the
bag.

The memorandum from Robert Neligan to the Acting Director, Division of
Compliance (see Appendix D) describes the test procedure and plan as of the
October 7, 1971, date of that memorandum. On October 14, 1971, John Burkle,
.Project Engineer, instructed ETB to perform the test in two parts, the first
part to consist of two days of testing, and the second part (based upon
1
-------
acceptable results in the first two-day part) to consist of four days of testing.
The updated test method is shown in Table I.
\
\
Mr. Burkle authorized at the test site the duration of gas sampling time
to be five hours and to. change the sample "bottling" and "packaging" procedure
as shown in Table II. The stated reason for the packaging change was that if
the total filter and impinger train catch of beryllium was very small, then,
I
with so many subdivisions of the sample catch, the analysis data would be
"masked" by the analytical procedure.
Mr. Burkle directed that the trains be filled with impinger liquids,
assembled,' disassembled, and have their samples transferred to the sample
/
bottles, all on the roof of the test, site for 2a and 2b; and at a physical
'/ . '
location at least one mile away from the test site for 5a and 5b. The latter
work was performed in a motel room which was more than a mile away from the
test site.
Soda lime, 6-14 mesh, was used in the eighth impinger to protect the meter
boxes from any possible acid mist carry over. Figure 2 is a schematic drawing
of the test site.

II. SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Table II shows the summarized results of the beryllium samples. Seven
samples from each of four runs made a total of twenty-eight samples. Only
three of the twenty-eight samples yielded values >0.15ug beryllium. One of
the samples indicated that a small amount of beryllium, 0.09yg passed the
filter.
Sample gas volumes were 231 to 269 ft .
Table A-II, Appendix A, shows all of the results of the beryllium samples
with appropriate identification codes. The contractor report is given in
Appendix C. The source sampling contractor was instructed to spend no more
than eight man-hours in preparing the report, to include as a minimum a copy
of the raw data sheets, and, as the eight hours permitted, total volume cal-
cidations, isokinetic sampling percentage calculations, and.normal report writing
efforts.
\
The reason for this eight hour restriction was that for this particular
test, the Project Engineer was interested in total volume of gas sampled, and
a very brief report of activities at the test site. The report is excel lent,and
was submitted within six working days after completion of test..
-------
III. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The total beryllium catch in the sampling trains is considered too small
to allow conclusions to be drawn about efficiencies of the separate portions
of the train. In turn, no direct recommendations for improvement of the
beryllium sampling train can be made based upon the results 'of this experiment.
The proposed second part of the experiment is cancelled because the results of
the first part indicate that not enough beryllium is in the stack gases to allow
a "train efficiency" experiment. No well founded conclusions can be drawn
relative to previous beryllium testing indications that beryllium stack gas
contaminants are getting "through" filters. It is recommended that a known
source of beryllium be obtained for any further testing. This could be a
commercial or Atomic Energy Commission stack; or it could be a substitute
source such as a lathe which is machining a given amount of beryllium under
JTAC K
controlled conditions as shown below in Figure 3.

APPENDIX A
SUMMARY OF ANALYSIS METHOD FOR BERYLLIUM SAMPLES
York Research, Incorporated, used the EPA suggested method to analyze
the beryllium samples. In outline form, the chemical portion of the method is:
1. React with nitric acid
i
2. React above solution with sulfuric and perchloric acid
3. Evaporate to near dryness on hotplate
4. React (dissolve) in hydrochloric acid
5. .Bring to 5 ml total volume
A portion of the 5 ml (usually 1/2 to 1 ml) was decanted and aspirated
into the Atomic Absorption (AA, Perkin-Elmer Model 303) flame. The absorbance
'/ ' .
line produced was then compared to a graph which was previously drawn by reading
absorbance of known concentrations of beryllium solutions. York Research, Inc.,
reports that with their AA unit sensitivity setting of 1 (on a scale of 1 to 10),
and with 1% absorption, the AA will allow a reading of 0.03yg !-3e/ml. This is the
setting which York Research, Inc., used in all cases except the reruns (sample
Nos. 165, 167, 168, 181 and 182 reruns). Those five were run with a sensitivity
setting of 5 which York Research, Inc., reports will allow a reading of O..006yg
Be/ml.

INTRODUCTION
On October 25 and 26, 1971 stack emission tests were conducted
on beryllium emissions at the Speedring, Inc. plant located in Cullman,
Alabama .under contract number 68-02-0225 and Task Order 3. The main
purpose of these tests was to evaluate a sample collection method for the
hazardous pollutant, beryllium. Results of the mofified sampling train
are intended to provide the basis for determining the most feasible
method for sampling beryllium.
All sampling was conducted under the direction of the Office of
Air Programs, Environmental Protection Agency. Mr. Thomas Ward,
Project Officer, EPA, et. al. developed the method which uses eight
impingers in series with special reagents in .each impinger. Two com-
plete trains were run simultaneously and, in addition., two "background"
trains were set up to determine potential on site contamination.
Testing was conducted after the plant began machining operations under
normal operating procedures and regular work day.
Mr. Ward assisted in engineering a through test by arranging for
stack extension, ladders, electricity, and other test facilities,
t
providing the special reagents for the several impingers, and assisting
in sample recovery to assure proper handling and disposition of each
speciman.
All samples were turned over to EPA at the conclusion of the field
tests for subsequent analysis by EPA. Under Mr. Ward's guidelines one
man-day of effort was used to prepare this report. The report contains
two sections in addition to this Introduction; a Discussion which
describes the test procedures and an Appendix which includes copies of
the raw field data.
-------
Messrs. Michael E. Lukey and John Chehaske conducted the field
test for the EPA, made the associated calculations and prepared this
report. This report does not contain a discussion of the laboratory
results.

-------
- DISCUSSION
The purpose of the two day source tests was to determine the
s
feasibility of a modified sampling train for testing the deleterious
pollutant, beryllium. The plant was located in Cullman, A?.abama
and produced machined/tooled beryllium components. The machining
operations are similar to mild steel machine shops and include
I '
drilling, milling, cutting, sanding and close tolerance lathe operations.
Because beryllium is a brittle metal, the machining operations emit
a fine metalic (beryllium) dust. Speedring, Inc. used a vaccum system
connected to two baghouses to remove the dust from the work area.
All .of the' testing was performed on the north stack, on a roof top
with a,/halfmoon shape. Mr. Thomas Ward, EPA Proj'ect Officer, made
<
arragements for the temporary stack extension (made of sheet metal
having one foot inside diameter), electricity and other ancillary
supplies.
Beryllium emissions are quite low when compared to other mass
emission rates from combustion sources. No visible emissions were
noted during any of sampling periods. The filters were checked
periodically during the sample runs (as a check for rapid buildup)
however, only slight color change existed at the very end of the sam-
pling time. Because of the low emission rates, the conventional par-
iculate train (EPA Method 5) has to be modified to improve the collection
effeciency of the sub micro particulate. Eight impingers were used
in series with a variety of reagents. The first two impingers contained
100 ml of deionized distilled water. Impinger three was empty.
-------
Impinger four contained 100ml of an acid solution (HC1/HNO-) .
Impinger five contained 100ml of suifuric acid solution. (The
exact concentrations of both acid solutions were not reported nor
asked for by the test team. Impinger seven contained 175 grams of
silica gel and the'last impinger contained about 50 grams of soda
lime pellets to protect the pump. Figure 1 shows the schematic dia-
gram of the sampling scheme.
A total of six runs were made over the two day period. Two
trains were run simultaneously during all tests. Trains labeled
5a and 5b were assembled in a inotel room located approximately 8
miles from the test site. In addition to these two complete trains,
two "background" stations were setup (assembled and reagents added)
on the roof top of the plant and the probe tip was placed in the
stack. No sampled air was pulled through the background units 2a
and 2b. These units were set near 5a and 5b for the same "run"
time. Sample recovery for the two background units was made on the
roof top of the plant. Sample recovery for 5a and 5b were made at
the motel room.
Figure 2 shows the stack configuration and sampling points for
the two units. A velocity traverse was made to determine probe tip
size stack velocity and flow as well as tip location. The probe
tip was placed at the point of average velocity and not moved during
the entire sampling periods. Figure 1 and Figure 3 indicate the exact
contents of each of the trains.
A summary of the field data and calculations is offered in
Table 1.
-------
The stack temperature was nearly constant and did not vary more than
10 degrees from the average temperature of 110°F during the entire
sampling period. The average velocity of the stack was 44.7 feet per
second. The flow rate at standard conditions (70°F and 1. atm.) was
1805 scfm. The four sample volumes ranged from 231 to 269 dry cubic
i
feet with an average of about 250 cubic feet. The moisture content
for four samples was about 3.370.
The actual field sampling was without .incident for the two day
tests. Only slight adjustments had to be made to obtain the sample
flow for isokinetic sampling conditions. All of the raw data
sheets appear in the Appendix.

Subject: Beryllium Testing Methods Development
x
TO: Acting Director, Division of Compliance
1. A test plan has been developed by the Chief of Stationary Source
Emission Methods and Measurement Section (DCP), who will fund the test.
An exact description of the test follows:
a. EPA gas pumping and measuring equipment will be used.
b. The collection trains are listed-in Table 1.
c. The probe ind glassware will be washed with liquid, the
same as in the first impinger of the collection train used.
In the case of water in the first impinger, an additional rinse
of acetone will be used; and an acid rinse will be used after
the acetone rinse.
d. Each impinger will be individually "bottled".
Each wash will be individually "bottled".
Each filter will be individually "packaged".
This will allow for Beryllium analysis of individual components
of the collection system.-
1 e. The probes will be placed in the exit horizontal stack 8 diameters
downstream and 2 diameters upstream from any obstruction as follows
in Figure 1.

2. Some input for consideration in establishing the test plan was
furnished by the Source Sampling Fuels Analytical Branch (DAS) via
Darryl J. VonLehmden and Robert E. Lee, and the Emission Testing Branch
(DAT) via Thomas E. Ward and Roger T. Shigehara.
3. The objective of the test is: '
a. To establish an acceptable method for the collection of the
Beryllium sample from a machine shop source.
b. To validate (or invalidate) previous test data, specifically,
The American Beryllium Company, and Speedring, Inc.
4. The execution of this test is tentatively scheduled for October 25
through 29. An alternate date could be November 1 through 5. The place
is Cullman, Alabama, Speedring, Inc.,North Stack. There is room at the
test site to accommodate up to ten people comfortably.
5. This memo is to inform all involved groups of the test plan and schedule.
This memo is also to request input/concurrence in writing of the test plan
and schedule as they may apply to the involved group(s).
