What is PD CEN/TS 17340 about?
PD CEN/TS 17340 discusses stationary source emissions with a focus on fluorinated compounds. PD CEN/TS 17340 specifies a manual method for the determination of the concentration of fluorinated compounds expressed in HF. Two cases are presented:
- First case: the measurand is the concentration of gaseous and bound to particulates fluorides
- Second case: the measurand is the concentration of gaseous fluorides
PD CEN/TS 17340 applies to fluoride concentrations that may vary between 0,1 mg HF/m3 and 10 mg HF/m3, at standard conditions of pressure and temperature. The limit of quantification of the method is estimated at 0,1 mg/m3 for a sampled volume of 0,1 m3.
Who is PD CEN/TS 17340 for?
PD CEN/TS 17340 on stationary source emissions applies to entities such as power plants, petroleum refineries, petrochemical plants, food processing plants and other heavy industrial sources. PD CEN/TS 17340 is useful for:
- Environmental regulatory bodies
- Industrial installations emitting gases
- Safety and regulatory authorities
- Laboratories
Why should you use PD CEN/TS 17340?
PD CEN/TS 17340 specifies the performance characteristics to be determined and the performance criteria to be fulfilled when it is used as the Standard Reference Method (SRM) for periodic monitoring and for calibration or control of Automated Measuring Systems (AMS) permanently installed on a stack, for regulatory or other purposes.
PD CEN/TS 17340 discusses measurement section and measurement plane, minimum number and location of measurement points, sampling time and volume sampled, measurement ports and working platform, preparation of the glassware and the absorption solution, assembling the equipment, field blank, heating of the sampling line, leak test, and performing sampling.
