CONTAINED IN VOL. 11.03, 2016 Defines the determination of elemental, oxidized, particle-bound, and total mercury emissions from coal-fired stationary sources.

1.1This test method applies to the determination of elemental, oxidized, particle-bound, and total mercury emissions from coal-fired stationary sources.

1.2This test method is applicable to elemental, oxidized, particle-bound, and total mercury concentrations ranging from approximately 0.5 to 100 μg/Nm3.

1.3This test method describes equipment and procedures for obtaining samples from effluent ducts and stacks, equipment and procedures for laboratory analysis, and procedures for calculating results.

1.4This test method is applicable for sampling elemental, oxidized, and particle-bound mercury in flue gases of coal-fired stationary sources. It may not be suitable at all measurement locations, particularly those with high particulate loadings, as explained in Section 16.

1.5Method applicability is limited to flue gas stream temperatures within the thermal stability range of the sampling probe and filter components.

1.6The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values in parentheses are for information only.

1.7This standard requires users to be familiar with EPA stack-gas sampling procedures as stated in EPA Methods 1–4, Method 5, and Method 17.

1.8The method requires a high level of experience and quality control both in the field testing and analytical procedures in order to obtain high quality data.

1.9This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
