Title
Standard Practice for Opacity Monitor Manufacturers to Certify Conformance with Design and Performance Specifications
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Oct 1, 2007
Scope:
This practice covers the procedure for certifying continuous
opacity monitors. In the main part of this practice, it includes
design and performance specifications, test procedures, and quality
assurance requirements to ensure that continuous opacity monitors
meet minimum design and calibration requirements, necessary in
part, for accurate opacity monitoring measurements in regulatory
environmental opacity monitoring applications subject to 10 % or
higher opacity standards. In Annex A1, additional or alternative
specifications are provided for certifying opacity monitors
intended for use in applications where the opacity standard is less
than 10 %, or where the user expects the opacity to be less than 10
% and elects to use the more restrictive criteria in Annex A1. In
both cases, the error budgets for the opacity measurements are
given in Appendix X1.
This practice applies specifically to the original manufacturer,
or to those involved in the repair, remanufacture, or resale of
opacity monitors.
Test procedures that specifically apply to the various equipment
configurations of component equipment that comprise either a
transmissometer, an opacity monitor, or complete opacity monitoring
system are detailed in this practice.
The specifications and test procedures contained in the main
part of this practice have been adopted by reference by the United
States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). For each opacity
monitor or monitoring system that the manufacturer demonstrates
conformance to this practice, the manufacturer may issue a
certificate that states that opacity monitor or monitoring system
conforms with all of the applicable design and performance
requirements of 40 CFR 60, Appendix B, Performance Specification 1
except those for which tests are required after installation.
*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this
standard.
