Testing was performed on a representative number of heaters, boilers and cogeration gas fired turbines, and one sulfur recovery unit, one gasoline loading rack and one asphalt recovery incinerator. This volume contains reference copies of the CARB test methods and the USEPA multiple metal train test method used throughout this program. Details of modifications of these methods for compounds for which test methods do not exist have been included in Volume I of this report. Respectfully submitted, THE ALMEGA CORPORATION Meryl R.

Principle and Applicability 1.1 Princfplt: To aid fn the representative measurement of pO1lUtant emissions and/or total volumetric flow rate from a stationay source, a measurement site where the effluent stream is flowing in a known direction 1s selected, and the cross-section of the stack is divfded Into a number of equal areas. A traverse potnt is then located within each of these equal areas. 1.2 Applicability: This method is applicable to flowing gas streams In ducts, stacks, and flues. The method cannot be used when: (1) flow ts cyclonic or swirling (see Section 2.41. (2) a stack is smaller than about 0.30 meter (12 in.) in dlameter or 0.071 m2 (113 in.') in cross-secttonal area, or (3) the measurement site is less than two stack or duct diameters downstream or less than a half diameter upstream from a flow disturbance. The requirements of this method must be considered before construction of a new facility from which emissions will be measured; failure to do so may require subsequent alterations to the stack or deviation from the standard procedure. Cases 1-1 ‘tnvolvtng vrrtants are subject to approval by the Control Agency’s authorized representatfvc. 2. Procedure 2.1 Selection of Measurement Site. Sampling or velocity measurement is performed at a sfte located at least eight stack or duct diameters downstream and two diameters upstream from any flw dlsturbance such as a bend, expansion, or contraction in the stack, or from a visfble flame. If necessay. an aJternative locatfan may be selected..at-a-. position at least two stack or duct diameters downstream and a half diameter upstream from any flow disturbance. For a rectangular cross section, an equivalent diameter (0,) shall be calculated from the following equation, to determine the upstream and downstream distances: De = m2Lu where L = length and W 8 width. 2.2 Determining the Number of Traverse Points 2.2.1 Particulate Traverses. When the eight-and two-diameter criterion can be met, the minlmum number of traverse points shall be: (1) twelve, for circular or rectangular stacks with diameters (or equivalent diameters) greater than 0.61 meter (24 in.); (2) eight, for circular stacks with diameters between 0.30 and 0.61 meter (12-24 in.]: (31 nine, for rectangular stacks wt th equivalent diameters between 0.30 and 0.61 meter 112-24 in.). I 1-2 . Yhen the eight-and two-diameter crlterlon cannot be net. the mlnlmum number of.traverse polnts Is determined from Figure 1-1. Before referrjng to the Ffgure, however, determine the distances from the chosen measurement site to the nearest upstream and downstream disturbances. and divide each distance by the stack diameter or equivalent diameter, to determine the distance in terms of the rider of duct diameters. Then. determine from Figure 1-1 the minimum number of traverse pofnts that corresponds: (1) to the number of duct diameters upstream; and (21 to the number of dfameters downstream. Select the higher of the two minimum numbers of traverse points, or a greater value, so that for circular stacks the number is a multiple of 4, and for rectangular stacks, the number is one of those shown in Table 1-1. Subject to the approval of the Control Agency's authorized representative, the minimum number of traverse polnts may be less than that detennined frm Figure 1-1 to accomnodate specific test situations.

Uhen velocity or volumetrlc flow rate is to be detenined (but not particulate matter), the same procedure ds that for PartfCUlate traverses (Sectlon 2.2.1) is followed, except that figure 1-2 may be used instead of Figure 1-1. Subject to the approval of the Control Agency's authorlred representative, the mlnlmum number of traverse points may be less than that determined from Figure 1-2 to accomnodate specific test sftuations. 2.3 Cross-Sectional Layout and Location of Traverse Points 2.3.1 Circular Stacks. Locate the traverse points on. two perpendicular diameters accordfng to Table 1-2 and the example shown in Figure 1-3. Any equation that gives the same values as those in Table 1-2 may be used In lieu of Table 1-2. For particulate traverses, one of the diameters must be in i plane containing the greatest expected concentration variatlon, e.g., after bends, one diameter shall be in the plane of the bend. This requirement becomes less critical as the distance from the disturbance increases; therefore, other diameter locations may be used, subject to approval of the Control Agency's authorized representative. 1-5 I : .. ,...* In addition. ;or stacks having diameters greater than 0.61 m 124 in.), no traverse pofnts shall be located within 2.5 centimeters (1.00 In.) of the stack walls; and for stack diameters equal to or less than 0.61 m (24 in.) no traverse pofnts shall be located within 1.3 cm (0.50 in.) of the stack walls. To meet these criteria, observe the procedures given , below. 2.3.1.1 Stacks uith Diameters Greater Than 0.61 m (24 in. I. When any of the traverse points as located in Section 2.3.1 fall within 2.5 cm (1.00 in.) of the stack walls, relocate them away from the stack walls to: 11 1 a distance of 2.5 cm 11.00 in. 1; or 12) a distance equal to the nozzle lnside diameter, whichever ts larger. These relocated traverse points (on each end of a diameter) shall be the 'arljusted' traverse points. Whenever two successive transverse points are combined to fonn a single adjusted traverse point, treat the adjusted point as two separate traverse points, both in the sampling (or velocity measurement) procedure, and in recording the data. 1-7 \ ,:. ..*.. :',..
