METHOD^/- direct measurement of gas velocity and volumetric flowrate
UNDER CYCLONIC FLOW CONDITIONS (PROPELLER ANEMOMETER)
1. Applicability and Principle
1.1 Applicability. This method applies to the measurement of gas
velocities in locations where cyclonic flow conditions exist and gas
temperatures range from 0° to 50°C (e.g. cooling tower exhausts).
1.2 Principle. A propeller anemometer is used to measure gas velocity
directly. Tne area of the stack cross section at the sampling location is used
to calculate volumetric flowrate, and temperature and pressure measurements are
used to correct volumes to standard conditions.
2. Apparatus
Specifications for the apparatus are given below.
2.1 Propeller Anemometer. A vane axial propeller anemometer capable of
measuring gas velocities to within 2 percent. The manufacturer's recommended
range (all-angle) shall be sufficient for the expected minimum flow rates at
the sampling conditions. Temperature, pressure, moisture, corrosive
characteristics, and sampling location are factors necessary to consider in
choosing a suitable propeller anemometer.
2.2 Data Output Device. A digital voltmeter, analog voltmeter, stripchart
recorder, data-logger, or computer capable of displaying propeller anemometer
output to within 1 percent and at a minimum frequency of 1 reading per minute.
2-3 Temperature Gauge. Same as Method 2, Section 2.3 for volume
correction to standard conditions.
Z.b Barometer. Same as Method 2, Section 2.5 for volume correction to
standard conditions.
2.5 Calibration Equipment.
2.5-1 Synchronous Motor. A variable speed synchronous motor capable of
providing a known constant rotational speed to the input shaft of the propeller
anemometer for purposes of comparing and adjusting the output signal to known
values.
2.5-2 Bearing Torque Disc. A variable torque applicator capable of
applying a range of torques to the input shaft of the propeller anemometer from
0 to the manufacturer's recommended "poor performance" criterion.
C-3
-------
2.5-3 Wind Tunnel. A wind tunnel capable of providing stable velocities
over the expected range of velocities to be measured. Air flow should be fully
developed turbulent flow in the axial direction only. Means shall be available
to quantify ambient temperature and pressure for correction to standard
conditions. Means shall also be available to rotate the propeller anemometer,
within the wind tunnel, through 180° (*90° of the centerline) and note the
_ , _o
angle of rotation m 10 increments.
2.5.4 Calibration Pitot Tube. Same as Method 2, Section 2.7 for
determination of wind tunnel velocities to within 1 percent.
2.5-5 Differential Pressure Gauge for Calibration Pitot Tube. Same as
Method 2, Section 2.8 for use with the standard pitot tube during wind tunnel
velocity determinations.
3. Procedure
3.1 Proper Mounting of Propeller Anemometer. Attach the propeller
anemometer to e suitable device (probe, rail, roc, etc.) to facililtate
traversing the stack/duct cross-section. Ensure that all flow obstructions
created by (1) the sampling support equipment (rail, etc.) are a minimum of 2
propeller diameters downstream of the propeller and (2) the sampling equipment
(nozzles) are a minimum of 2 inches upscream of the propeller and have a
maximum obstructive aree (projected area) 1C« the size of the propeller's area
of rotation. Ensure that the propeller anemometer is properly aligned with the
centerline of the stack/duct and stably mounted (vibration and subsequent
misalignment will create serious errors in the velocity and volumetric flow
rate results). Connect electrical connections for velocity data recording as
shown in Figure fjy-1.
3-2 Cross Sectional Area. Determine the stack/duct dimensions at the
sampling location. Include the total area (at the sampling location) without
regard to the velocity in the stack.
3-3 Zero Output System. Zero all recording devices by carefully bringing
the propeller anemometer to a stand-still. Record ambient temperature and
pressure data and note time and date as shown in the example data sheet
Figure?^ -2.
3-4 Determination of Gas Velocity. Measure the gas velocity and
temperature at the traverse points specified by Method 2^ or other applicable
method. (Note: Due to the size of most propellers, traverse points within 10
cm of a side-wall will be unmeasureable.) Alternatively, based on the
preliminary traverse or the previous measurement, the stack temperature may be

measured at a single point if the gas temperatures at all points were within
5°F of the average temperature.
k. Calibration
k.l Propeller Anemometer. The propeller anemometer shall be calibrated
before its initial use in the field. Both electro/mechanical and performance
parameters shall be checked during calibration according to the procedures
supplied by the manufacturer. Calibration procedures in . 1.1, *1.1.2 and *{.1.3
shall be conducted before the initial field use. Calibration procedures in
*4.1.3 shall be conducted for each propeller m use and whenever the structural
integrity of a propeller or shaft/generator housing is in question.
*1.1.1 Generator Output Test. To assess the integrity of the electrical
output, a variable speed synchronous motor to rotate the propeller anemometer
input shaft at known rotational velocities will be required. A minimum of two
speeds shall be used to check the electrical output of each shaft/generator
housing. The two speeds chosen shall fall on either side of the expected shaft
velocities under field use.
Couple the synchronous motor to the anemometer input shaft according to the
manufacturer's specifications (to ensure no slippage occurs). Attach an output
device to the anemometer electrical outputs and start motor. Obtain the first
rotational test speed and record the anemometer output in either mV DC or rpm.
Obtain the second rotational test speed and record the anemometer output.
Continue with additional rotational test speeds if applicable. Repeat each
test speed in order to obtain a total of three output readings for each speed.
Average the three output readings from each rotational test speed applied
ana compare these results with the manufacturer's specifications (e.g., linear
rpm/mV ratio). Results should compare with specifications to within 2 percent.
*j.l.2 Bearing Torque Test. To assess the integrity of the mechanical
bearings supporting the input shaft, a bearing torque test snail be conducted.
Attach to the anemometer input shaft a torque applicator (e.g., bearing torque
disc) which will apply a range of known, repeatable torques beyond the
manufacturer's "poor performance" criterion. Starting with a 0.1 gm-cm torque,
continually increase the applied torque in 0.1 gm-cm increments until the shaft
begins to turn. Record the applied torque required to create shaft rotation
and repeat two times. Results from all three tests should be below the
manufacturer's specification for "poor performance." Conduct this check after
the non-axial flow calibration to document the torque required during the
calibration.

*1.1.3 Non-Axial Flow Test. Assess the representativeness of
manufacturer's angular flow calibration curve by conducting a wind tunnel test
on each propeller in use and generating a percent response-vs-wind angle curve
for comparison. Attach the propeller anemometer to the wind tunnel to allow a
full 180° rotation {*90° from the center line) within the tunnel. Connect all
other apparatus to display/record anemometer outputs.
With the wind tunnel operating at 15 to 25 fps, determine the velocity at
the propeller location using a standard pitot, differential pressure gauge,
barometric pressure and temperature. Starting with the propeller anemometer
oriented into the direction of flow (0°) rotate ana record the output readings
at 10° increments from 0° to f 90° and 0° to - 90°. Plot these results on a
percent response-vs-wind angle graph and compare to the manufacturer's
specifications. Differences should be within 3 percent at each point for the
1002 axial flow response. Using the 100".' axial flow response compute a
velocity result and compare it to the velocity results measured using the
standard pitot probe. This difference should be within 3 percent of the pitot
probe results at 0°. Repeat this test at a velocity of 25 to ^40 fps; compute
the percent deviations as above.
Note: If the results of the propeller anemometer initial calibration tests
are not within the required specifications, then either corrective maintenance
should be implemented to correct the deficiencies or the equipment m question
should be considered unsatisfactory and replaced.
4.1.^ Field Use and Recalibration.
*1.1.^.1 Field Use. When the propeller anemometer is used in the field,
the manufacturer's electromechanical ratio and axial/rotational velocity ratio
shall be used to perform the velocity calculations.
k.l.k.2 Recalibration. After each test run, both a bearing torque check
and a generator output test shall be conducted. If the bearing torque check is
more than twice the torque recorded after calibration or is m the range of
"poor performance" as described by the manufacturer, the anemometer must be
repaired or replaced and the run repeated. The generator output test results
must be within 5 percent of the predicted value or the system must be repaired
or replaced and the run repeated. -Alternatively the tester may opt to conduct
both checks at the conclusion of all runs. However, if both criteria are not
met, all runs must be repeated.
If both checks meet the above criteria and a visual inspection of the
propeller shows no apparent changes, no additional calibrations must be
conducted. Whenever the propeller anemometer fails to meet either of the
C-8
-------
above requirements or the propeller becomes damaged, a complete recalibration
as described in 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 must be conducted.
4.2 Temperature Gauge. After each test series, check the temperature
gauge at ambient temperature. Use an American Society for Testing and
Materials (ASTM) mercury-in-glass reference thermometer, or equivalent, as a
reference. If the gauge being checked does not agree within 2 percent
(absolute temperature) of the reference, the temperature data collected in the
field shall be considered invalid or adjustments of the test results shall be
made, subject to the approval of the Administrator.
4.3 Barometer. Calibrate the barometer used against a mercury barometer
prior to the field test as described in Method 2.

Carry out the calculations, retaining at least one extra decimal figure
beyond that of the acquired data. Round off figures after the final
calculation.

DRAFT METHOD - 1/23/87
METHOD tT - DETERMINATION OF CHROMIUM EMISSIONS
FROM COOLING TOWERS
1. Applicability and Principle
1.1 Applicability. This method applies to the determination of total
chromium and hexavalent chromium (Cr+^) emissions from cooling towers. The
hexavalent chromium emissions are calculated from the total chromium mass
emission rate using the ratio of hexavalent-to-total chromium in the cooling
water.
1.2 Principle. Chromium emissions are collected from the exit of the
cooling tower cell(s) using an impinger train for sample collection and the
propeller anemometer for velocity measurement. The impinger train is the
same design as described in EPA Method 13 with the exception that the filter
*
is made of Teflon™ and a propeller anemometer is used in place of the pitot
tube. The impinger train samples are analyzed for total chromium (1) using
Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) or (2) by solubilizing all the chromium
using nitric acid and measuring by Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption (GFAA)
or Inductively-Coupled Argon Plasmography (ICAP). Cooling water samples are
also collected and analyzed both for total chromium by NAA, GFAA, or ICAP and
hexavalent chromium by the diphenylcarbazide colorimetric method. (See
Citations 1, 2, and 3 of Bibliography.)
2. Range, Sensitivity, Precision, and Interferences
2.1 Range. For a minimum analytical accuracy of + 15 percent, the lower
limit of the range is 0.05 ug total sample catch for chromium. This accuracy
can only be obtained when the analytical laboratory is told that the sample
concentration is extremely low. There is no upper limit.
2.2 Sensitivity. A minimum detection limit of 0.05 ug of Cr should be
observed.
2.3 Precision. The overall precision of the sample collection and
analysis for a tower containing 4 ppm of Cr+^ (4 ug/ml) in the cooling water
and emitting 1 ug/mg Cr+^ is about 35 percent with a 95 percent confidence

C-ll
-------
interval. A higher chromium content and/or a higher chromium emission rate
should improve the precision. No precision measurements have been made for
towers emitting less chromium. When less chromium is expected, sampling times
should be increased to collect the minimum amount of chromium (0.05 ug).
2.4 Interference. Sodium can interfere with the measurement of chromium
by NAA. Since sodium has a short half-life, the sodium interference can be
minimized by allowing the samples to radiate for approximately 14 days prior
to analysis. In studies conducted by EPA, approximately 100 ppm of sodium in
cooling water did not effect the analytical accuracy.
3.0 Apparatus
3.1 Sampling Train. A schematic of the sampling train used in this
method is shown in Figure C/T-l. Commercial models of this train are
available. All portions of the train that will come into direct contact with
the sample should be cleaned with 1:1 HNO^ and rinsed thoroughly before field
use. After each sample is taken in the field, rinse with 0.1 N HNO^ and
follow with a water rinse.
The operating and maintenance procedures for the sampling train are
described in APTD-0576 (Citation 3 in the Bibliography). The sampling train
consists of the following components:
3-1.1 Probe Nozzle. Stainless steel (316) or glass with sharp, tapered
leading edge. .The angle of taper shall be <30° and the taper shall be on the
outside to preserve a constant internal diameter. The probe nozzle shall be
of the button-hook or elbow design, unless otherwise specified by the
Administrator. If made of stainless steel, the nozzle shall be constructed
from seamless tubing; other materials of construction may be used, subject to
the approval of the Administrator.
A range of nozzle sizes suitable for isokinetic sampling should be
available, e.g., 0.32 to 1.27 cm (1/8 to 1/2 in.)—or larger if higher volume
sampling trains are used—inside diameter (ID) nozzles in increments of 0.16
cm (1/16 in.). Each nozzle shall be calibrated according to the procedures
outlined in Section 6.
3-1.2 Probe Liner. Borosilicate or quartz glass tubing with a heating
system capable of maintaining a gas temperature at the exit end during
sampling of 120 +_ l4°C (248 + 25°F), or such other temperature as specified by
an applicable subpart of the standards or approved by the Administrator for

a particular application. (The tester may opt to operate the equipment at a
temperature lower than that specified.) Since the actual temperature at the
outlet of the probe is not usually monitored during sampling, probes
constructed according to ATPD-O58I (Citation 5 of Bibliography) and utilizing
the calibration curves of APTD-0576 (or calibrated according to the procedure
outlined in APTD-0576) will be considered acceptable.
In potentially explosive atmospheres, the probe shall not be heated. If
the probe is positioned lower than the sample box, a cyclone or equivalent can
be used to collect the condensed water and drift, thus preventing it from
dripping back out of the probe into the fan cell.
Whenever practical, every effort should be made to use borosilicate or
quartz glass probe liners. Metal liners (e.g., 316 stainless) which contain
chromium are not allowed.
3.1.3 Propeller Anemometer. A.propeller anemometer as described in
Section 2.1 of Method PA_, or other device approved by the Administrator. The
propeller anemometer shall be attached to the sampling train (as shown in
Figure TA-1) to allow constant monitoring of the stack gas velocity. The
center of the propeller anemometer shall be placed 2 to 4 inches directly above
the nozzle and aligned with the nozzle opening. The propeller anemometer shall
have known electromechanical and axial/rotational velocity ratios which have
been verified during calibration (see Section 4 of Method?/\ ).
3.1.^1 Data Output Device. A digital or analog millivolt meter, stripchart
recorder, data-logger, or computer as described in Section 2.2 of Method 7A .
This output device shall be used for the measurement of the voltage output from
the propeller anemometer.
3-1-5 Impingers. Four impingers connected as shown in Figure C.T-1 with
ground-glass (or equivalent), vacuum-tight fittings. For the third and fourth
impingers, use the Greenburg-Smith design, modified by replacing the tip with a
1.3 cm inside diameter (1/2 in.) glass tube extending to 1.3 cm (1/2 in.) from
the bottom of the flask. For the second impinger, use a Greenburg-Smith
impinger with the standard tip. The tester may use modifications (e.g.,
flexible connections between the impingers or materials other than glass),
subject to the approval of the Administrator. Place a thermometer, capable of
measuring temperature to within 1°C (2°F), at the outlet of the fourth impinger
for monitoring purposes.
C-14
-------
3.1.6 Filter Holder. Borosilicate glass, with a glass frit filter support
and a silicone rubber gasket. Other materials of construction (e.g., Teflon™,
Viton) may be used, subject to the approval of the Administrator. The holder
design shall provide a positive seal against leakage from the outside or around
the filter. The holder shall be attached between the third and fourth impinger.
3.1.7 Forceps. Plastic.
3.1.8 Metering System. Vacuum gauge, leak-free pump, thermometers capable
of measuring temperature to within 3°C (5*^°F)> dry Sas meter capable cf
measuring volume to within 2 percent, and related equipment, as shown in
Figure CT-1. Other metering systems capable of maintaining sampling rates
within 10 percent of isokinetic and of determining sample volumes to within 2
percent may be used, subject to the approval of the Administrator. When the
metering system is used in conjunction with a propeller anemometer, the system
shall enable checks of isokinetic rates.
Sampling trains utilizing metering systems designed for higher flow rates
than that described in APTD-O58I or APTD-0576 may be used provided that the
specifications of this method are met.
3.1.9 Barometer. Mercury, aneroid, or other barometer capable of
measuring atmospheric pressure to within 2.5 mm (0.1 in.) Hg. In many cases,
the barometric reading may be obtained from a nearby national weather service
station, in which case the station value (which is absolute barometric
pressure) shall be requested and an adjustment for elevation differences
between the weather station and sampling point shall be applied at a rate of
minus 2.5 mm (0.1 in.) Hg per 30 m (100 ft) elevation increase or vice versa
for elevation decrease.
3.1.10 Flue Gas Temperature. A temperature sensor as described in Section
2.3 of Method ?A . The temperature sensor shall be attached to the sampling
probe in a configuration such that the tip of the sensor extends beyond the
leading edge of the probe sheath, does not touch any metal, and is in an
interference-free arrangement with the nozzle. As an alternative (as described
in Method PA ), if all points are within 5°F of the average stack temperature,
the temperature of the stack may be determined at a single point.
3.1.11 Cooling Water Sample Bottle. A glass or polyethylene bottle 25 ml
or greater is required to collect a cooling water sample during each run.
Clean with 1:1 HNO^ and rinse thoroughly before use.
3.1.12 Equipment for Sampling in Potentially Explosive Areas. Class I
Division 1 Locations: Currently available equipment cannot be readily modified
for use in Class I Division 1 locations.
C-15
-------
Class I Division 2 Locations: Two gas monitors are required to continu- •
ously monitor the atmosphere both at the cooling tower discharge point and the
area around the meter box. The gas monitors must be of the continuous type
(LEL meters or similar devices) and equipped with an alarm that indi- cates
when 40 percent of the lower explosive limit (LEL) has been reached. The meter
box must be equipped with an explosion-proof switch to shutdown all power to
the box in case of an emergency. The electrical cord running to the meter box
must be SO-type line and must be equipped with an explosion-proof plug.
3-2 Sample Recovery. Clean all items for sample handling or storage
with 1:1 HNO^ and rinse thoroughly before use. The following items are
needed:
3.2.1 Probe-Liner and Probe-Nozzle Brushes. Nylon bristle brushes with
a handle (at lieast as long as the probe) of Nylon, Teflon™, or a similar
material which does not contain chromium. The brushes shall be properly
sized and shaped to brush out the probe liner and nozzle.
3.2.2 Wash Bottles—Two. Glass wash bottles are recommended;
polyetheylene wash bottles may be used at the option of the tester.
3.2.3 Glass Sample Storage Containers. Chemically resistant, boro-
silicate glass bottles, for water washes, 500-ml or 1000-ml. Screw cap
liners shall either be rubber-backed Teflon™ or shall be constructed so as to
be leak-free. (Narrow mouth glass bottles have been found to be less prone
to leakage.) Alternatively, polyethylene bottles may be used.
3.2.4 Forceps. Plastic.
3.2.5 Graduated Cylinder and/or Balance. To measure condensed water to
within 1 ml or 1 g. Graduated cylinders shall have subdivisions no greater
than 2 ml. Most laboratory balances are capable of weighing to the nearest

C-16
-------
3-3 Sample Preparation for Analysis. Clean all items for sample handling or
storage with 1:1 HNO^ and rinse thoroughly before use. The following items
are needed:
3.3.1 Beakers. Borosilicate glass in sizes adequate for concentrating
aqueous samples (600-ml or larger) and digesting cooling water residue
filters (25- to 50-ml)•
3.3.2 Hot Plate.
3.3.3 Storage Vials. Borosilicate glass, 40-ml capacity, with cap and
Teflon™ liner, such as EPA-approved vials for water analysis.
3.3.4 Analytical Balance. To measure within 0.1 mg.
3.3.5 Vacuum Filter Unit. Plastic or glass, 47-mm in diameter.
3.3.6 Graduated Cylinder. In a size slightly larger than size of
cooling water sample bottles.
3-3-7 Glass Sample Storage Containers. Same as 3-2.3-
3.3*8 NAA Vials (Optional). For NAA of cooling water residue only. The
laboratory conducting the NAA analysis should be contacted and the proper
screw-type vials obtained for the filters used to collect the residue.
3-4 Analysis. Three analytical methods have presently been shown to be
satisfactory for analysis of total chromium in cooling tower samples: GFAA,
ICAP, and NAA. One of these methods is used for the analysis of the impinger
train samples and the residue portion of of the cooling water samples.
(Additional specifications will be added to this section upon final selection
of the analytical method.) Analysis for hexavalent chromium in the cooling
water samples is performed following the Draft Method - "Determination of
Hexavalent Chromium Emissions from Stationary Sources." The necessary
apparatus is listed in Section 3-3 of the method.
4. Reagents
Unless otherwise indicated, all reagents must conform to the speci-
fications established by the Committee on Analytical Reagents of the American
Chemical Society. Where such specifications are not available, use the best
available grade.
4.1 Sampling. The reagents used in sampling are as follows:
4.1.1 Water. Approximately 300 to 400 ml of deionized water for
impinger reagent and for sample cleanup; deionized water is also required for
reagent preparation. Significant levels of chromium must not be present in
the water. It is recommended that water blanks be checked prior to sampling
to ensure that the chromium content is less than 0.1 part per billion (0.1 ug
C-17
-------
per liter); this can be accomplished by concentrating one liter of the water and .
analyzing by the appropriate technique.
4.1.2 Filters. Teflon™ or equivalent filters with 0.5~niicron or smaller
pore size. The filter must have a chromium blank value of less than 0.005 ug
chromium per filter. Many glass fiber filters exceed the limit for chromium and
should not be used.
4.2 Sample Recovery. The reagents used in sample recovery are as follows:
4.2.1 Water. Approximately 300 to 400 ml of distilled water for impinger
reagent and sample cleanup; significant levels of chromium must not be present
in the water. (See Section 4.1.1.)
4.2.2 Nitric Acid, 0.1 N. Slowly add 7 ml of concentrated nitric acid
(HNO^) to water in a 1-liter flask; dilute to the mark.
4.3 Sample Preparaton and Analysis. As previously noted in Section 3-^.
three analytical methods are presently believed satisfactory for analysis of
total chromium in the impinger train samples and the cooling water sample
residues. The Draft Method for Hexavalent Chromium is used to measure the
hexavalent chromium in the cooling water filtrate. The reagents needed to
prepare the impinger train samples and cooling water aliquots for total chromium
analysis are listed below. The reagents necessary for the hexavalent chromium
analysis of the cooling water filtrate are listed in Section 4.3 of the Draft
Method. (Additional specifications for reagents needed for total chromium
analysis will be added to this section upon final selection of the analytical
method.)
4.3-1 Water. See Section 4.1.1.
4.3-2 Nitric Acid. Concentrated.
4.3-3 Nitric Acid, 1:1 (v/v). Slowly add an equal volume of concentrated
nitric acid (HNO^) to water.
4.3-4 Filters. Teflon, 1.0-um pore size, 47-mm diameter for collecting
insoluble residue in cooling water.
4.3-5 Aqua Regia. Slowly add 1 part of concentrated nitric acid to 3 parts
concentrated sulfuric acid.
4.3.6 Performance Audit Sample. A performance audit sample shall be
obtained from the Quality Assurance Division of EPA and analyzed with the field
samples. The mailing address to request the samples is:

5. Procedure
5.1 Sampling. The complexity of this method is such that to obtain
reliable results, testers should be trained and experienced with the test
procedures.
5.1.1 Pretest Preparation. All the components shall be maintained and
calibrated according to the procedure described in APTD-0576, unless
otherwise specified herein.
Weigh several 200- to 300-g portions of silica gel in air-tight
containers to the nearest 0.5 g. Record the total weight of the silica gel
plus container, on each container. As an alternative, the silica gel need
not be preweighed, but may be weighed directly in its impinger or sampling
holder just prior to train assembly.
Check filter visually against light for irregularities and flaws or
pinhole leaks. Label filters of the proper diameter on the back side near
the edge using numbering machine ink. Alternatively, the filter holder, or
other means of tracking the filter to ensure that the filter is recovered
with the proper sample, may be used. The filters are not preweighed since
the analysis is a chemical determination.
5-2 Determination of Measurement Site. Due to the configuration of
cooling towers, Method 1 cannot be used to determine measurement sites.
Following are several alternatives for determining measurement sites for
cooling towers.
5.2.1 Selection of Number of Fan Cells to be Tested. For towers with
three or less cells, all cells shall be tested. For towers with 4 or 5
cells, at least 3 cells shall be tested. For towers with 6 or more fan
cells, a minimum of half of the cells shall be tested.
5.2.2 Criteria for Selecting Cells and Traverse Direction. The
following criteria must be met:
(a) Every run must consist of two traverses.
(b) Every equal area cell must be represented by at least two runs.
(c) A single traverse direction may be used for all towers containing
more than one cell.
(d) Based on the prevailing winds, the extreme inward and outward cells
are initially identified and selected for sampling.
(e) After identifying the extreme inward and outward cells, the
remaining cells to be sampled (sufficient to equal required minimum)
are selected at random.
(f) The mass emission rate for the tower is the sum of the averages for
each of the equal area cells.
(g) The traverse direction at the stack exit may be selected by the
tester.
C-19
-------
(h) The order for sampling the cells may be selected by the tester.
(i) All runs must be consecutive; none may be conducted simultaneously,
(j) When a tower contains two distinctly different types of mist
eliminators, the cells with different mist eliminators must be
considered in the same manner as if the cells have different areas.
The following six examples are given to better define the approach for
selecting the cells to be sampled. Circles represent fan cells, the small
rectangles show the recommended location for scaffolding, and the dotted
lines indicate traverse directions. Cells on towers with multiple fan cells
are selected in pairs to reduce the amount of scaffolding needed to conduct
the testing. The order of the sample runs and traverses presented are only
examples and the order is left to the tester.

using the area of the 10 cells traversed plus the average of Run 4
calculated using the area of Cell 11.
5.2.3 Criteria for Selecting Traverse Points. The following criteria
must be met:
C-23
-------
(a) The traverse line may be located in any plane near the exit of the
cell. The tester may alternatively select any plane that is not
affected by the wind to a greater degree than the cell exit plane
(i.e., for a large cells—an access door in the cell stack or a
point 2 feet above the cell on a calm day).
(b) Twelve points shall be sampled on each traverse for a minimum of 5
minutes per point. The points shall be located on the traverse line
at the percentage of the diameter as shown below:
Point 1 - 2.1% Point 2 - 6.7% Point 3 - 11.8%
Point 4 - 11.1% Point 5 -25.0% Point 6 — 35•6%
Point 7 - 63-4% Point 8 - 75-0% Point 9 - 82.3%
Point 10 - 88.2% Point 11 - 93-3% Point 12 - 97.9%
(c) No point shall be closer than 9 inches from the wall. All points
that are calculated at less than 9 inches from the wall shall be
relocated at 9 inches from the wall.
5-3 Preliminary Determinations. Select the cells and the sampling
points as described in Section 5-2. Determine the stack pressure,
temperature and the range of velocities using Method PA • Determine the
moisture content with a wet and dry bulb thermometer, or assume saturation at
the stack temperature and calculate the moisture.
Select a nozzle based on the range of velocities, such that it is not
necessary to change the nozzle size in order to maintain isokinetic sampling
rates. During the run, do not change the nozzle size.
Select a total sampling time greater than or equal to the minimum total
sampling time based on 5 minutes per point and 2 hours per run.
The sampling time at each point shall be the same. It is recommended
that the number of minutes sampled at each point- be an integer or an integer
plus one-half minute, in order to avoid timekeeping errors.
5.4 Preparation of Collection Train. Clean all portions of the sampling
train which will come into direct contact with the sample with 1:1 HNO^ and
rinse thoroughly with water. During preparation and assembly of the sampling
train, keep all openings where contamination can occur covered until just
prior to assembly or until sampling is about to begin.
Place 100 ml of water in each of the first two impingers, leave the third
impinger empty, and transfer approximately 200 to 300 g of preweighed silica
gel. from its container to the fourth impinger. More silica gel may be used,
but care should be taken to ensure that it is not entrained and carried out
from the impinger during sampling. Place the container in a clean place for
later use in the sample recovery. Alternatively, the weight of the silica
gel plus impinger may be determined to the nearest 0.5 g and recorded.
c-24
-------
Using plastic forceps or clean disposable gloves, place a labeled
(identified) filter in the filter holder. Be sure that the filter is
properly centered and the gasket properly placed so as to prevent the sample
gas stream from circumventing the filter. Check the filter for tears after
assembly is completed.
A glass liner or equivalent must be used. Install the selected nozzle
using a Viton A O-ring or Teflon™ ferrules. Mark the traverse monorail or
other system to denote the proper distance in the exit plane of the cells for
each traverse run with equal diameter cells.
Set up the train as in Figure CT~1. using (if necessary) a very light
coat of silicone grease on all ground glass joints, greasing only the outer
portion (see APTD-0576) to avoid possibility of contamination by the silicone
grease.
Place crushed ice around the impingers.
5.4.1 Leak-Check Procedure.
5.4.1.1 Pretest Leak-Check. A pretest leak-check is recommended, but
not required. If the tester opts to conduct the pretest leak-check, the
following procedure shall be used.
After the sampling train has been assembled, leak-check the train at the
sampling site by plugging the nozzle and pulling a 380 mm (15 in.) Hg vacuum.
Note: A lower vacuum may be used, provided that it is not exceeded during
the test.
The following leak-check instructions for the sampling train described in
APTD-0576 and ATPD-O58I may be helpful. Start the pump with bypass valve
fully open and coarse adjust valve completely closed. Partially open the
coarse adjust valve, and slowly close the bypass valve until the desired
vacuum is reached. Do not reverse direction of bypass valve; this will cause
water to back up into the probe. If the desired vacuum is exceeded, either
leak-check at this higher vacuum or end the leak-check as shown below, and
start over.
When the leak-check is completed, first slowly remove the plug from the
inlet to the nozzle, and immediately turn off the vacuum pump. This prevents
the water in the impingers from being forced backward into the probe and
silica gel from being entrained backward into the filter holder.
5.4.1.2 Leak-Checks During Sample Run. If, during the sampling run, a
component (e.g., filter assembly or impinger) change becomes necessary, a
leak-check shall be conducted immediately before the change is made. The
C-25
-------
leak-check shall be done according to the procedure outlined in Section
5.^.1.1 above, except that it shall be done at a vacuum equal to or greater
than the maximum value recorded up to that point in the test. If the leakage
rate is found to be no greater than 0.00057 m /min (0.02 cfm) or 4 percent of
the average sampling rate (whichever is less), the results are acceptable,
and no correction will need to be applied to the total volume of dry gas
metered; if, however, a higher leakage rate is obtained, the tester shall
either record the leakage rate and plan to correct the sample volume as shown
in Section 7-3 of this method, or shall void the sample run.
Immediately after component changes, leak-checks are optional; if such
leak-checks are done, the procedure outlined in Section 5-^-l»l above shall
be used.
5.^.1.3 Post-Test Leak-Check. A leak-check is mandatory at the
conclusion of each sampling run. The leak-check shall be done in accordance
with the procedures outlined in Section ^.k.1.1, except that it shall be
conducted at a vacuum equal to or greater than the maximum value reached
during the sampling run. If the leakage rate is found to be no greater than
0.00057 m /min (0.02 cfm) or 4 percent of the average sampling rate
(whichever is less), the results are acceptable, and no correction need be
applied to the total volume of dry gas metered. If, however, a higher
leakage rate is obtained, the tester shall either record the leakage rate and
correct the sample volume as shown in Section 7-3 of this method, or shall
void the sampling run.
5-4.2 Sampling in Class I Division 2 Locations. The following proce-
dures must be conducted in addition to all plant safety requirements. Plant
regulations take precedent over any requirements stated below. The following
steps must be taken to allow testing at cooling towers in a Class I Division
2 area (as classified in accordance with API RP 500A):
(1) The plant safety officer must first monitor the area and deem it safe.
(2) Proper personnel safety equipment must be obtained and properly
utilized during the test.
(3) A gas monitor (LEL or similar device) must be used to continuously
monitor the atmosphere both at the cooling tower discharge and in the
area around the meter box. Each gas monitor must have an alarm that
is set to indicate when h0% of the lower explosive limit (LEL) is
obtained in either area.
C-26
-------
(4) The sample collection equipment in the cooling tower discharge stream
must not contain any electrical components with the exception of the
generator in the propeller anemometer which generates less than one
millivolt.
(5) The electrical cord running to the meter box must be a SO-type line
and must be equipped with an explosion-proof plug.
(6) The meter box must be equipped with an explosion-proof switch to
shutdown all power in case of an emergency.
(7) All power to the meter box must be shutdown using the explosion-proof
switch any time the alarm sounds on the LEL meter or the plant alarm
sounds.
(8) The testers must evacuate the area of the cooling tower if the LEL
alarm sounds and the safety officer must deem the area safe prior to
the return of any testing personnel.
5.^.3 Cooling Tower Operation and Ambient Conditions. Based on
communications with the Cooling Tower Institute (Citation 5 of the
Bibliography), the following guidelines are recommended which relate to tower
operating parameters and ambient environmental conditions during testing:
(1) Ambient Wind Speed: Ideally the average wind speed during the drift
measurement should be less than 5 to 6 miles per hour. More
realistically, the average wind speed, measured in an open and
unobstructed location within 100 feet upwind of the tower at a point 5
feet above basin curb elevation, should not exceed 10 miles per hour.
Wind gusts should not exceed 15 miles per hour and should not exceed 1
minute duration.
(2) Heat Load: Measurements may be taken with or without heat load (on a
mechanical draft cooling tower).
(3) Ambient Temperature and Humidity: Measurements may be taken at any
non-freezing ambient temperature/humidity condition.
(4) Stability of Test Conditions: Variations in average ambient air
temperatures should not exceed the following limits during the drift
measurement period:
***Wet-bulb temperature - 2°F per hour
***Dry-bulb temperature - 5°F per hour
(5) Water Flow: The measurements should be taken at normal operating
waterflow conditions, i.e., design flow + 10%.
C-27
-------
(6) Water Quality: Measurements should not be taken during temporary
upset conditions in water chemistry, i.e., the cycles of concentration
for the circulating water at the time of the drift measurement should
be within a reasonable proximity of normal levels.
5-5 Train Operation. During the sampling run, maintain an isokinetic
sampling rate (within 20 percent of true isokinetic unless otherwise specified
by the Administrator).
For each run, record the data required on a data sheet such as the one
shown in Figure CT-2. Be sure to record the initial dry gas meter reading.
Record the dry gas meter readings at the beginning and end of each sampling
time increment, when changes in flow rates are made, before and after each
leak-check, and when sampling is halted. Take other readings required by
Figure cf-2 at least once at each sample point during each time increment and
additional readings when significant changes (20 percent variation in velocity
head readings) necessitate additional adjustments in flow rate.
To begin sampling, position the nozzle at the first traverse point with the
tip pointing parallel to the axis of the fan. Immediately start the pump, and
adjust the flow to isokinetic conditions. Standard isokinetic sampling
nomographs are designed for use with a Type "S" pitot and will have to be
modified for use with the propeller anemometer. Isokinetic sampling rate and
calculation programs using the Hewlett-Packard 4l are available from EPA
(Citation 6 of Bibliography). Traverse the cell as required by Method
If the pressure drop across the filter becomes too high, making isokinetic
sampling difficult to maintain, the filter may be replaced in the midst of the
sample run. It is recommended that another complete filter assembly be used
rather than attempting to change the filter itself. Before a new filter
assembly is installed, conduct a leak-check (see Section 5-4.1.1). The
pollutant catch shall include the summation of all the filter assembly
catches.
At the end of the sample run, turn off the coarse adjust valve, turn off
the pump, remove the probe and nozzle from the stack, record the final dry gas
meter reading, and conduct a post-test leak-check, as outlined in Section
5.4.1.2. Also, conduct a bearing torque check on the propeller anemometer and
a constant rpm check on the electrical system. The torque must not exceed
twice the torque when calibrated. If the torque check does not meet the
requirements, clean and/or replace the propeller anemometer and repeat the
run. Alternatively, the torque check may be conducted after the last run. If

it does not pass, all runs must be repeated. The constant rpm check of the
electrical system must be within 5 percent of the calibration value. If the
system does not meet the requirements, repair or replace the system and void
the run. Alternatively, the check may be conducted after the last run. If it
does not pass, all runs must be repeated.
5-6 Calculation of Percent Isokinetic. Calculate percent isokinetic (see
Calculations, Section 7) to determine whether the run was valid (80 to 120#
isokinetic) or another test run should be made. If there was difficulty in
maintaining isokinetic rates due to source conditions, consult with the
Administrator for possible variance on the isokinetic rates.
5-7 Collection of Cooling Water Sample. A cooling water sample shall be
collected during each run. The sample should be collected once during each
run using a glass or polyethylene bottle from a location that would be
representative of water entering the cooling tower. Alternatively, the tester
may assume that all the chromium in the tower is in the hexavalent state and,
therefore, need not collect cooling water samples to correct the data for
non-hexavalent chromium.
5.8 Sample Recovery. Begin proper cleanup procedure as soon as the probe
is removed from the stack at the end of the sampling period. Wipe off all
external matter near the tip of the probe nozzle and place a cap over it to
keep from losing part of the sample.
Before moving the sampling train to the cleanup site, remove the probe from
the sampling train, wipe off the silicone grease, and cap the open outlet of
the probe. Be careful not to lose any condensate, if present. Remove the
filter assembly, wipe off the silicone grease from the filter holder inlet,
and cap this inlet. Remove the umbilical cord from the last impinger, and cap
the impinger. After wiping off the silicone grease, cap off the inlet to the
first impinger and any open impinger inlets and outlets. The tester may use
ground-glass stoppers, plastic caps, or serum caps to close these openings.
Transfer the probe and filter-impinger assembly to an area that is clean
and protected from the wind so that the chances of contaminating or losing the
sample is minimized.
Inspect the train before and during disassembly, and note any abnormal
conditions. Treat the samples as follows:
5-8.1 Container No. 1 (Probe, Filter, and Impinger Catches). Using a
graduated cylinder, measure to the nearest ml, and record the volume of the
water in the first three impingers; include any condensate in the probe in
C-30
-------
this determination. Transfer the impinger water from the graduated cylinder
into a polyethylene or glass container. Add the filter to this container.
(The filter may be handled separately using procedures subject to the
Administrator's approval.) Taking care that dust on the outside of the probe
or other exterior surfaces does not get into the sample, rinse all
sample-exposed surfaces (including the probe nozzle, probe fitting, probe
liner, first three impingers, impinger connectors, and front half of the
filter holder) with 0.1 N HNO^. Use less than 500 ml for the entire wash.
Add the washings to the sample container. Perform the 0.1N HNO^ rinses as
follows:
Carefully remove the probe nozzle and rinse the inside surface with 0.1 N
HNO^ from a wash bottle. Brush with a nylon bristle brush, and rinse until
the rinse shows no visible particles, after which make a final rinse of the
inside surface. Brush and rinse the inside parts of the Swagelok fitting with
0.1 N HNO^ in a similar way.
Rinse the probe liner with 0.1 N HNO^. While squirting the solution into
the upper end of the probe, tilt and rotate the probe so that all inside
surfaces will be wetted. Let the rinse drain from the lower end into the
sample container. The tester may use a funnel (glass or polyethylene) to aid
in transferring the liquid washes to the container. Follow the rinse with a
probe brush. Hold the probe in an inclined position, and squirt 0.1 N HNO^
into the upper end as the probe brush is being pushed with a twisting action
through the probe. Hold the sample container underneath the lower end of the
probe, and catch all rinse and particulate matter that is brushed from the
probe. Run the brush through the probe three times or more. Rinse the brush
with 0.1 N HNO^, and quantitatively collect these washings in the sample
container. After the brushing, make a final rinse of the probe as described
above: It is recommended that two people clean the probe to minimize sample
losses.
Rinse the inside surface of each of the first three impingers (and connect-
ing glassware) three separate times. Use a small portion of 0.1 N HNO^ for
each rinse, and brush each sample-exposed surface with a nylon bristle brush,
to ensure recovery of fine particulate matter. Make a final rinse of each
surface and of the brush.
After ensuring that all joints have been wiped clean of the silicone
grease, brush and rinse the inside of the filter holder (front-half only) with
0.1 N Brush ,and rinse each surface three times or more if needed. Make
a final rinse of the brush and filter holder.
C-31
-------
After all 0.1 N HNO^ rinsings have been collected in the sample container,
tighten the lid so that the liquid will not leak out when it is shipped to the
laboratory. Mark tne height of the liquid level to determine whether leakage
occurs during transport. Label the container clearly to identify its
contents.
This cleanup must be conducted for each of the test runs. Between sampling
runs, rerinse all the sample-exposed surfaces of the train and the probe and
impinger brushes with water. Keep brushes clean and protected from
contamination.
5-8.2 Container No. 2 (Sample Blank). Prepare a blank by placing an
unused Teflon™ filter in a container and adding a volume of water and 0.1 N
HNO^ equal to the total volume in Container No. 1. Process the blank in the
same manner as for Container No. 1. Only one sample blank must be collected
for each test series.
5.8.3 Container No. 3 (Silica Gel). Note the color of the indicating
silica gel to determine whether it has been completely spent and make a
notation of its condition. Transfer the silica gel from the fourth impinger
to its original container and seal. The tester may use a funnel to pour the
silica gel and a rubber policeman to remove the silica gel from the impinger.
It is not necessary to remove the small amount of dust particles that may
adhere to the impinger wall and are difficult to remove. Since the gain in
weight is to be used for moisture calculations, do not use any water or other
liquids to transfer the silica gel. If a balance is available in the field,
the tester may follow the analytical procedure for Container No. 3 in 5-10.2.
5.9 Sample Preparation For Analysis. The entire aqueous sample is
concentrated to a nominal volume of 25 ml. The specific procedures follow.
Note the liquid levels in Containers No. 1 and No. 2 and confirm on the
analytical data form (FigurecT~3 or similar form) whether or not leakage
occurred during transport. If noticeable leakage has occurred, either void
the test run or use methods, subject to the approval of the Administrator, to
correct the final results. Treat the contents of each sample container as
described below:
5-9-1 Container No. 1 (Probe Filter and Impinger Catch). To condense the
sample, place the sample or a portion of the sample, including the Teflon
filter, in a beaker; add approximately 10 mis of concentrated HNO^, cover with
a watch glass, and heat to 105°C in a hood. After the liquid contents are
removed from the container, rinse the sample container with 0.1 N HNO^ and add
C-32
-------
the rinse to the sample. If difficulty is encountered in evaporating the
sample without bumping, a few Teflon™ chips may be added. Condense the sample
to a nominal 25 ml; do not allow it to go to dryness. Transfer the condensed
sample to a clean, tare-weighed storage vial. Rinse the beaker with 4 ml or
less of 1:1 HNO^ and add to the vial. Seal the vial and reweigh. Record the
vial tare weight and final weight on the analytical data form. By assuming a
specific gravity of 1.0, the difference between the tare and final weights (in
g) is used as the sample volume (in ml). This volume is necessary to
calculate the total ug of Cr in the sample after analysis using GFAA or ICAP,
since the results are on a concentration basis. Transfer the samples to the
NAA, GFAA, or ICAP laboratory.
5.9-2 Container No. 2 (Sample Blank). Treat in the same manner as
described in Section 5-9-1 above.
5.9-3 Preparation of Cooling Water Samples. Shake the cooling water
sample container to suspend any settled solids. Immediately pour through a
1.0 um-pore size Teflon filter in a vacuum filtration unit. When filtration
is complete, use some of the filtrate to rinse the sample bottle and filter
this rinse through the same filter. Measure the volume of the filtrate using
a graduated cylinder and record on the analytical data sheet; transfer the
filtrate to a clean sample storage container.
If the impinger samples are to be analyzed by NAA, transfer the Teflon
filter holding the filtered residue to a precleaned screw-type vial suitable
for NAA. If the samples will be analyzed by GFAA or ICAP, place the filter in
a beaker with 5 ml of aqua regia and heat on a hot plate in a hood. Bring to
a low boil for approximately 15 minutes. Transfer the solution to a 100-ml
volumetric flask, rinsing the filter and the beaker well with water. Dilute
to the mark. Take a portion of the solution, transfer it to a 40-ml storage
vial, and submit it to the NAA, GFAA, or ICAP laboratory as appropriate.
5.9-4 Preparation of Performance Audit Sample. Pipette the volume of
audit sample as indicated in the EPA audit instructions into a cleaned storage
vial. The audit sample will be used to assess the accuracy of the analytical
procedures.
5.10 Analysis.
5.10.1 NAA, GFAA, or ICAP Analysis. These three analytical methods have
presently been shown to be satisfactory for analysis of cooling tower chromium
samples. Submit impinger train samples and cooling water residue samples to

6. Calibration
Maintain a laboratory log of all calibrations.
6.1 Probe Nozzle. Probe nozzles shall be calibrated before their
initial use in the field. Using a micrometer, measure the inside diameter of
the nozzle to the nearest 0.025 mm (0.001 in.). Make three separate
measurements using different diameters each time, and obtain the average of
the measurements. The difference between the high and low numbers shall not
exceed 0.1 mm (0.004 in.). When nozzles become nicked, dented, or corroded,
they shall be reshaped, sharpened, and recalibrated before use. Each nozzle
shall be permanently and uniquely identified.
6.2 Propeller Anemometer. The propeller anemometer assembly shall be
calibrated according to the procedure outlined in Section 4 of Method PA_.
6-3 Metering System. Before its initial use in the field, the metering
system shall be calibrated according to the procedure outlined in APTD-0576.
Instead of physically adjusting the dry gas meter dial readings to correspond
to the wet test meter readings, calibration factors may be used to correct
mathematically the gas meter dial readings to the proper values. Before
calibrating the metering system, it is suggested that a leak-check be
conducted. For metering systems having diaphragm pumps, the normal
leak-check procedure will not detect leakages within the pump. For these
cases the following leak-check procedure is suggested: make a 10-minute
3
calibration run at 0.00057 m /min (0.02 cfm); at the end of the run, take the
difference of the measured wet test meter and dry gas meter volume; divide
the difference by 10, to get the leak rate. The leak rate should not exceed
0.00057 n1 /min (0.02 cfm).
After each field use, the calibration of the metering system shall be
checked by performing three calibration runs at a single, intermediate
orifice setting (based on the previous field test), with the vacuum set at
C-35
-------
the maximum value reached during the test series. To adjust the vacuum, insert
a valve between the wet test meter and inlet of the metering system. Calculate
the average value of the calibration factor. If the calibration has changed by
more than 5 percent, recalibrate the meter over the full range of orifice
settings, as outlined in APTD-0576.
Alternative procedures, e.g., using the orifice meter coefficients, may be
used, subject to the approval of the Administrator.
Note: If the dry gas meter coefficient values obtained before and after a
test series differ by more than 5 percent, the test series shall either be
voided, or calculations for the test series shall be performed using whichever
meter coefficient value (i.e, before or after) gives the lower value of total
sample volume.
6.4 Probe Heater Calibration. The probe heating system shall be calibrated
before its initial use in the field according to the procedure outlined in
APTD-0576. Probes constructed according to APTD-O58I need not be calibrated if
the calibrations curves in APTD-0576 are used.
6.5 Temperature Gauges. Use the procedure in Section 4.2 of Method^ to
calibrate in-stack temperature gauges. Dial thermometers, such as are used for
the dry gas meter and condenser outlet, shall be calibrated against
mercury-in-glass thermometers.
6.6 Leak-Check of Metering System Shown in Figure Cf-1. That portion of
the sampling train from the pump to the orifice meter should be leak-checked
prior to initial use and after each shipment. Leakage after the pump will re-
sult in less volume being recorded than is actually sampled. The following
procedure is suggested (see Figure 5~4 of Method 5): close the main valve on
the meter box. Insert a one-hole rubber stopper with rubber tubing attached
into the orifice exhaust pipe. Disconnect and vent the low side of the orifice
manometer. Close off the low side orifice tap. Pressurize the system to 13 to
18 cm (5 to 7 in.) water column by blowing into the rubber tubing. Pinch off
the tubing, and observe the manometer for one minute. A loss of pressure on the
manometer indicates a leak in the meter box; leaks, if present, must be
corrected.
6.7 Barometer. Calibrate against a mercury barometer as described in
Method pft.
6. Calculations
Carry out calculations, retaining at least one extra decimal figure beyond
that of the acquired data. Round off figures after the final calculation. Other
forms of the equations may be used as long as they give equivalent results.

Instrumentation - ESC used the following instruments to collect data during
test:
;. Sensitive Paper System
Manufacturer: Environmental Systems Corporation
Description: A special filter medium is chemically treated to produce a
distinct color change when wetted. Droplets impinging on
the papers produce blue stains which may be correlated with
droplet size. The system operator records updraft velocity
and selects exposure times which yield serviceable
concentrations of stains. Knowing exposure times and
updraft velocities, analysts studying the papers with
microscopes can calculate droplet size and size
distribution.
2, Air Speed (Upcraft at Exit Plane)
Manufacturer: R. K. 'ioung Company
Model: 27106 Gill Propeller Anemometer
Description; A generator-type anemometer with excellent linearity and
off-axis response. Used to measure fan upcraft velocity to
establish Isokinetic sampling air flow rate. Readout is by
digital voltmeter. In conjunction with this sensor, the
operator measures the air flow direction with a vane-type
sensor to make a correction for off-axis flow, If necessary.

PITOT TUBE MEASUREMENT DROCEDURE
1. Remove tube and inspect - remove tip protection cap.
2. With appropriate couplings connected (typically 2" NPT - male), pull rein-
forcing sleeve and "stinger" fully inside coupling and screw coupling snugly
into gate valve (tighten with pipe wrench).
3. Open valve fully, after making sure once again the stinger is fully
retracted. Witn vaive fully open, pusn pitot tuDe stinger through the rein-
forcing sleeve. Lock into place and purge manometer and lines of all air.
Zero the manometer (i.e., no differential pressure should be indicated, with
total pressure and static pressure ports reading "static" prior to
inserting tube in pipe).
4. Slowly insert pitot tube into pipe until a deflection is detected. Mark the
tube clearly at the stuffing box. Push tube fully across the pipe until it
contacts the other side. Mark tube clearly again and retract until zero
deflection is seen again. Check this point with previous mark. Measure
distance between marks and add 3/16" to indicated diameter (for offset in
static/total sensing port location). Compare this diameter to the nominal
diameter of the pipe.
5. Calculate and mark measurement stations. No fewer than 20 stations per
diameter should be used for pipes greater than 36" diameter. Check to see
if manometer is zeroed and initiate traverse. Visual readings of manometer
should be no less than one minute. Periodic checks using 25-50 instan-
taneous manometer readings averaged and compared with the "eyeDall" average
at a single point snould be conducted.
6. Other perpendicular traverses should be conducted similarly with center-point
readings compared from each traverse for consistency.
7. Ambient temperature and water temperature should be measured during traverse
to correct manometer balancing fluid and water density, respectively.
8. Pitot tube tip should De inspected for blockage/damage before and after each
traverse.
9. Any anomalies or problems, such as vibration, apparent backflow, etc. should
be noted.

Pip* Caliper—See Fig. 1.
This instrument consists oi a brass rod which passes
through an eccentric stuihng-box The lower end is
hook shaped, and to the other end is attached an
index collar and handle.
To attach the caliper, pull the rod all the way up
and screw the stuffang-box on the corporation cock,
making a water-tight joint with the leather washer.
Open the corporation cock and push the rod in
until it touches the pipe. (See Fig. 1.) Turn rod 1 SOc.
Measure the distance between index collar and stufi-
ing-box. Pull rod up until hook just touches the pipe.
Again measure trom stufiing-box to index collar. Tne
inside diameter ol pipe is equal to the diiierence be-
tween these two measurements plus one inch, the
one inch being added tor the length oi the hook
Caution should be taken to push the rod against
the walls of the pipe slowly and gently, since the
pipe may be coated with tubercles and incrustations,
or there may be sand or sediment on the bottom.
Should the rod be pushed too iorceiuliy against the
Dipe. these interior conditions would not be detected.
Remember that it is the actual working diameter oi
pipe, as near as can be determined, that should be
used in How calculations.
SIMPLEX PHOT ROD
Description
The Simplex PFA Pilot Rod illustrated in Fig. 2 is a
pair of tubes in a casing One tube transmits the Rei-
erence pressure received at the side orifaces, and the
other tube transmits the impact pressure received at
the Impact orihee. which taces the flow.
The Simplex Rod is provided with a split clamp
which holds the tube in position and prevents it be-
ing pushed out by the water pressure, a stuihng-box
which can easily be packed with any suitable pack-
ing and a stop collar near the orihee end oi the rod
to limit the withdrawal oi the rod through the stuihng-
box.

vill escape corporation plug Screw connection nut
m corporation cock, making a warier-tight joint by
the leather washer.
Have all cocks on Pitot Rod closed, and then open
:he corporation. Open the air cocks at top of Pitot
Rod to blow the air out oi tube and aiso out of top of
pipe, should any be lodged there.
Push the Rod in until it touches the pipe, and meas-
ure the distance irom maex collar to traverse scale
flange. Pull the Rod out a distance equal to the radius
of the pipe minus Vi inch and secure the Rod in this
position by tightening the clamp collar, and at the
same time being sure that the arrow on the crown
casting of Rod points in the direction of the flow.
If the direction of the flow is unknown, this can be
determined by the use oi the manometer connected
to the Pitot Rod. Observe the deflection in manometer
when arrow on crown casting points along the pipe
in one direction. Then revolve the Pitot Tube 18D° so
that the arrow points along the pipe in the opposite
direction. The water will be flowing in the direction
that produces the greater deflection of the liquid in
manometer.

Connecting Manometer to Pi tot Rod
Tne manometer may be connected with two lengths
of hose, either directly to the Pitot Rod at CD and (R),
as shown in Fig. A, or it may be connected at (D
and CD at the Recorder (rig. 10) when the latter is
connected to the Pilot nod. Whiie using the mano-
meter thus connected, shut oft the Recorder by closing
cocks (I) and (R) on Recorder. Whenever the mono
meter is being filled with liquid or is blown off ior
expelling possible collections oi ar- ircm it, always
iirst close cocks CD and (R) ct Recorder. Likewise,
whenever air is being blown irom Recorder always
hrst close cocks CD and (R), thus shutting erf the mano-
meter to prevent the danger of blowing the liquid ircm
same. (See Fig. 10.)

easily be determined in tne following manner.
Pour the liquid to be checked into the manometer
and tnen pour some water into one side of the
manometer, which will deflect the liquid. Tnere may
be water in one side only or in both sides of the
manometer, and it is only necessary to have more
water in one side than in the other so as to produce
a aeflecuon of the liquid. In the interest of ciose
accuracy it js advisable to have as large a deflection

TRAVERSE STATIONS—See Pig. 4
Wherever o mam is lapped ior the purpose of
measuring the Sow of water, let it be called a station
and named or designated by an assigned number.
When selecting a location ior a station always, if
possible, select a point m the pipe line where there
is a considerable length oi straight pipe iine, where
the flow will be undisturbed by valves, tees, or bends.
Tap the pipe at the selected location ior a one-inch
corporation cock. Tne tap is usually made on the top
of the pipe. It may, however, be made at the side oi
the pipe or at any other point on the circumference
It is desirable that the pipe be not tapped so deep
that the corporation cock will extend through pipes
and project beyond the inside suriace of the wall oi
the pipe.
When it is impossible to make tap in a long straight
length of pipe, say where the nearest up-stream
valve, tee, or bend is less than 20 or 3D diameters
from the station, then two taps about 90° apart with .
one about 4" to 6" ahead oi the other should be
tapped in the pipe.
For steel pipes first attach a strep service clamp
to pipe.
An accurate record should always be made and
kept on file giving the location of all stations and the
distance of same from at least two fixed landmarks.
PIPE TRAVERSE—Sue Rgi. 4, 6, 7
Tne object of making the pipe traverse by the use
of the Pitot Rod and the manometer is to ascertain
the relation between the mean velocity and the cen-
ter velocity in the pipe. The Pitot Tube measures
velocity only at the point m the pipe where the ori-
iices are located. Ii the oribces of the Pitot Tube be
moved along the diameter oi the pipe it will be
noticed that the velocities are diiierent ior different
locations of the oriiices, and that they gradually in-
crease as we approach the center of the pipe. Tnere-
iore, to accurately determine the quantity of water
flowing it is necessary to know the traverse coeffi-
cient, C = V«/V«, that is the relation of the mean
velocity to the center velocity.
Tne method to be employed in making the traverse
is that of dividing the pipe into imaginary rings or
annuli having equal areas, and then taring readings
oi the defections oi the liquid in the manometer when
the oriiices of the Pitot Tube are placed at a point i
each nng such that a circle through that point wi
divide the nng into two equal areas.
This is illustrated in Fig. 4. Refer to the right-har

Dear Bill:
I would like to expand on the results I gave you on the phone
concerning your tests at Paducah. As I understand it, your team ran the
paired trains that we recommended, one train being a conventional isokineti
impinger train and the other an impinger train sampling from a tube with a
disk-shaped collar positioned at 90 degrees from the direction of gas flow.
Our best estimate on the collection behavior of this train comes from the
theory of Zebel (In Recent Developments in Aerosol Science, Edited by David
T. Shaw, Wiley, NY, 1978). The only experimental data we know of was for a
geometry with a slightly different collar by Liu and Pui (Aerosol Sampling
Inlets and Inhalable Particles, Atmospheric Environment, J_5, 589-600, 1981)
According to Zebel*s paper, the collection efficiency of drops by tne disk
train should be given by the equation below:
pff = !
1 + 1.09 STK
where
STK = V PCD2 /9ud
and V = gas stream velocity (cm/sec)
P = droplet density (1 gm/cir,3 in this case)
C = Cunningham correction factor (= 1 for this size)
D = droplet diameter (cm)
p = gas viscosity (about 180 x 10~° poise)
d = sampling cube inner diameter (cm)
Although their geometry is slightly different from our setup, the
equation fits the data of Liu and Pui fairly well when the correct tube
diameter is assumed (see Figure 1). Table 1 contains calculated D^g values

for the four "90° train" runs. Note that while the calculated D5Q is on the
order of 13-16 urn, tne efficiency curves are broad, and significant
collection occurs at higner droplet sizes. Tne calculated collection
efficiencies for the velocities encountered by the "90° trains" at Paducah
are plotted in Figure 2. I have also done a convolution (see Table II) of
the calculated collection efficiency of the 90° train witn one of the size
distributions reported oy ESC. If their size distributions are good in the
smaller size range, the 90° trains should collect less than 10 percent of
the drift mass. I do have some questions about their technique, though,
which I will discuss below.
Although you did not directly ask us to analyze the ESC technique, I
felt a word about it was in order. The most definitive experimental work of
which we are aware is that of May and Clifford (The Impaction of Aerosol
Particles on Cylinders, Spheres, Ribbons and Discs, Ann. Occup. Hyg. 10,
83-95, 1967), which gives efficiency curves for the disk oody impactor such
as those used for our study. I have enclosed a copy of their results (their
Figure 7) which illustrates it. In their plot the parameter P=\/Z is given
by half the value of STK in equation 2 (where d now is the paper disk
diameter). Thus P is proportional to the square of the droplet diameter D.
Using this data the disk Djq value expected for the velocity range covered
can be calculated and are included in Table I.
I draw two conclusions from the May and Clifford data. First, it is
probably a decent approximation to assume that the sum of the collection by
the paper disk and the 90° tram will be approximately the same as the
isokinetic nozzle train for all sizes, with the greatest error of
approximation occurring for particles about 20 ura. The efficiency curves
for a disk impactor and those of the 90° sampling tram are fairly "sloppy"
in terms of particle size separation. The paper disk collects large
droplets, and tne 90° train collects the smallest droplets, with near unit
efficiency. Thus both significant ends of the size spectrum are collected
well.
A second point I should emphasize is that the sensitive paper results
are subject to some question below about 25-50 ym. While presumably ESC can
distinguish spots corresponding to 10-20 um size droplets, they may
underestimate the actual flux of these drops. The Ranz and Wong (IMpaction
of Dust and Smoke Particles, Industial and Engineering Chemistry, 44,
1371-81, 1952) collection efficiency used by ESC to establish correction
factors does not seem to be fitted by the experimental data seen on Figure 7
of May and Clifford.

The relative contribution of droplets in the 10-50 um size range may
not be significant for the low efficiency drift eliminators in this study.
However, the sensitive paper may significantly underestimate the small
droplet flux downstream of higher efficiency collectors or in any duct where
a condensation droplet mode exists.
Please let me know if I can be of further help.

CALIBRATIONS
All measuring equipment Entropy uses is initially calibrated before use.
Equipment which can change calibration is both checked upon return from each
field use and is also periodically recalibrated in full. When an instrument
is found out of calibration, it is so noted in the report and appropriate
adjustments are made to the final results. The equipment is then repaired and
recalibrated or retired as needed. Specific equipment is handled as follows:
Propeller Anemometer - All propeller anemometers were calibrated
and/or checked using the procedures in the draft test method for the
use of the propeller anemometer. This included a full calibration in
the wind tunnel at 10 increments of flow alignment angles from -90
to +90 . The electrical system was checked with a constant rpm motor
to ensure proper outputs. The bearing torque on the anemometer shaft
was checked with a bearing torque check device. All propeller
anemometers used in this program meet the requirements as specified by
the EPA draft method.
Dry Gas Meter and Orifice Meter - All Entropy meter boxes are
calibrated upon purchase and at least once every six months against a
secondary test meter (one calibrated against a wet test meter)
according to their usage history. Basic procedures are outlined in
the EPA Publication No. APTD-057&- The only differences are in the
choice of flow rates used and the volumes metered at each flow rate.
After each field use, quick checks are performed to ensure delta H@
changes of less than 5%- These checks compare the orifice against the
dry gas meter. If greater than 5% changes occur, recalibration and
repair are instituted.
Nozzles - Each nozzle is calibrated upon purchase, and thereafter
whenever it becomes apparent that the nozzle has become damaged. Each
nozzle is inspected upon return to laboratory from each field use.
The diameter is measured on five different axes, with the high and low
readings differing by no more than 0.004 inches as a tolerence.
Temperature Measuring Instruments - After each field use, the
thermocouples or thermometers are calibrated against an ASTM precision
mercury-in-glass thermometer across a wide range of temperatures. If
the initial reading is not within + 1.5% of the absolute temperature
reading of the standard thermometer, the instrument is adjusted until
it is in the acceptable range.
Three-Dimensional Pitot Tube - Prior to field use, the 3~D pitot
tube was calibrated in the wind tunnel using the procedures described
in EPA Method 1A. The pitot tube meets all requirements of the
Method.
D-3
-------
Magnehelic Gauges - After each field use, each Magnehelic
Gauge is calibrated against an inclined manometer at three different
settings (low, medium, high) over the range of the individual gauges.
If the readings differ more than +_ 52 from the manometer readings, the
Magnehelics are recalibrated.
Barometer - After each field use, each barometer is checked
against a mercury barometer.
