|
|
Combustion Sensor.
|
Wheatstone bridge.
|
|
Electrochemical Sensors - Conductive.
|
Ions conduct electricity. Gases for electrlytes in soln. andchange conductivity of that soln.
|
|
Electrochemical Sensors - Potentiometry.
|
Gases change the pH of soln.
|
|
Electrochemical Sensors - Coulometry.

The amount of electricity produced = contaminant present.
|
|
Electrochemical Sensors - Ionization.
|
Make the gas conductive so electrical field can collect particles.
|
|
Chacoal Tubes
|
Adsorbs vapor molecules.
Breakthrough of 10% = junk sample. Not good for: Amines, Phenols, nitrocompounds, aldehydes, or reactive comounds. |
|
Silica Gel Tubes
|
Electrically polar. Attracts polar molecules like H2O, ROH, aldehydes, amines, phenols, amides, and inorganic acids.
|
|
Diffusion Badges
|
Requires 15 fpm of airflow. Not as accurate as tubes.
|
|
Polycarbonate Filters
|
Better strength than membrane. Low collection efficiency.
|
|
Membrane Filters
|
High collection efficiency. Low ash, low weight. Good for gravimetric.
Bad at high temps. |
|

Af = 0.00785 mm2.
|
|
Fiber
|
Greater than 3:1 aspect ratio.
Use PCM, PLC, electron microscopy, SEM, or TEM. |
|
NIOSH Rule of Thumb regarding sample numbers.
|
> or = 6 samples for a valid estimate of confidence interval.
> 11 samples to estimate variance. |
|
NIOSH rules about blanks.
|
6 media blanks in lab.
2 field blanks for every 10 samples. |
|
Sample breakthrough.
|
If the sample media contains >10% in the back up section, the sample is junk.
|
|
Primary Standards
|
Mariotti bottle, spirometer, frictionless piston meter.
|
|
%Error = (Observed - expected)/Expected x 100
