Manual Determination of Mass Concentration of Granular Matter: Measurement Methods

Flue Gas Stationary Source Emissions - Manual Determination of Mass Concentration of Particulate Matter (20-1000 mg/m³)

What is the mass concentration of particulate matter?

The mass concentration of particulate matter refers to the total mass in a given volume of solid particles present in an environment (e.g. air, water or soil). These particles are usually dust, pollutants, organic and inorganic compounds. The mass concentration of particulate matter is important for environmental monitoring, air quality audits and management of industrial processes.

ISO 9096: Measurement of Emissions - Determination of Velocity and Flow of Gas from Stationary Sources

ISO 9096 is a standard for measuring the velocity and flow rate of gas flow from stationary sources (e.g. industrial chimneys). This standard is preferred for environmental monitoring and emission control, especially in industrial installations. ISO 9096 defines the methods to be used to accurately and reliably measure the gas flow rate and flow rate when determining the emission values of gases from stationary sources.

The standard provides a test method for measuring particulates (dust concentration) in exhaust gases under specified conditions and at concentrations between 20 ^mg/m3 and 1000 ^mg/m3. This standard applies to the calibration of automatic monitoring systems. If the emission gas contains unstable, reactive or semi-volatile substances, the measurement depends on the filtration temperature. For the calibration of automatic monitoring systems, in-stack methods are more applicable than out-stack methods.

The ISO 9096 standard includes a manual gravimetric determination method for measuring the concentration and mass flow rate of particles in flowing gases in closed cavities such as chimneys, ducts and ventilation pipes.

• TS EN 13284-1 Constant source emissions - Determination of low range mass concentration of dust - Part 1: Manual gravimetric method.
• TS ISO 9096 Constant source emissions - Manual determination of the mass concentration of particulate matter.

Application Areas of ISO 9096:

• Industrial Plants: Accurate monitoring of gas flow and emissions is required, especially in industries such as chemical, power generation, steel and metal processing.
• Environmental Monitoring: ISO 9096 is used by environmental agencies and auditing organizations to audit factories for compliance with environmental legislation.
• Flue Gas Emissions: Accurately measuring and analyzing flue gases from stationary sources is important to determine whether emission levels are within legal limits.
