Designation:D652220Standard Test Method forDetermination of Nitrogen Oxides,Carbon Monoxide,andOxygen Concentrations in Emissions from Natural Gas-Fired Reciprocating Engines,Combustion Turbines,Boilers,and Process Heaters Using Portable Analyzers1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6522;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of nitrogenoxides(NO and NO2),carbon monoxide(CO),and oxygen(O2)concentrations in controlled and uncontrolled emissionsfrom natural gas-fired reciprocating engines,combustionturbines,boilers,and process heaters using portable analyzerswith electrochemical sensors.Due to the inherent cross sensi-tivities of the electrochemical cells,this test method should notbe applied to other pollutants or emission sources without acomplete investigation of possible analytical interferences anda comparative evaluation with EPA test methods.1.1.1 The procedures and specifications of this test methodwere originally developed during laboratory and field testsfunded by the Gas Research Institute(GRI).2Comparativeemission tests were conducted only on natural gas-fired com-bustion sources.Subsequently,the U.S.Environmental Protec-tionAgency(EPA)sponsored Environmental Technology Veri-fication(ETV)program conducted further evaluations ofelectrochemical cell analyzers,which included laboratory testsand field tests on natural gas and diesel-fueled generators.TheEPA has reviewed the ETV test results,published additionalinformation,and provided technical input that has been con-sidered in the update of this test method.31.2 This test method contains notes that are explanatory andare not part of the mandatory requirements of the standard.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.5 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:4D1356 Terminology Relating to Sampling and Analysis ofAtmospheres2.2 EPA Methods from 40 CFR Part 60,Appendix A:5Method 3A Determination of Oxygen and Carbon DioxideConcentrations in Emissions from Stationary Sources(Instrumental Analyzer Procedure)Method 7E Determination of Nitrogen Oxides Emissionsfrom Stationary Sources(Instrumental Analyzer Proce-dure)Method 10 Determination of Carbon Monoxide Emissionsfrom Stationary SourceMethod 20 Determination of Nitrogen Oxides,SulfurDioxide,and Diluent Emissions from Stationary GasTurbines2.3 EPA Methods from 40 CFR Part 63,Appendix A:5Method 301 Field Validation of Pollutant MeasurementMethods from Various Waste Media1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D22 on AirQuality and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D22.03 on AmbientAtmospheres and Source Emissions.Current edition approved June 1,2020.Published June 2020.Originallyapproved in 2000.Last previous edition approved in 2011 as D6522 11.DOI:10.1520/D6522-20.2Juneau,P.Peeler,J.W.,“Development of an Electrochemical Cell EmissionAnalyzer Test Method,”Gas Research Institute Topical Report prepared byEmission Monitoring Inc.,GRI-96/0008,July 1997.3Shanklin,S.,Wesson,K.,and Kellar,P.,“Evaluation of Portable Analyzers forUse in Quality Assuring Predictive Emission Monitoring Systems for NOx,”prepared by The Cadmus Group,EPA Contract No.68-W-03-033,September 2004.4For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.5Available from U.S.Government Printing Office,Superintendent ofDocuments,732 N.Capitol St.,NW,Washington,DC 20401-0001,http:/www.access.gpo.gov.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.4 EPA Methods from 4
