Stationary source emissions — Determination of low range mass concentration of dust — Manual gravimetric method
This document specifies the standard reference method (SRM) for the measurement of low dust concentration in ducted gaseous streams in the concentrations below 50 mg/m3 at standard conditions. This document is primarily developed and validated for gaseous streams emitted by waste incinerators. More generally, it can be applied to gases emitted from other stationary sources, and to higher concentrations. If the gases contain unstable, reactive or semi-volatile substances, the measurement depends on the sampling and filter treatment conditions. This method has been validated in field tests with special emphasis to dust concentrations around 5 mg/m3. The results of the field tests are presented in Annex A.
Émissions de sources fixes — Détermination de faibles concentrations en masse de poussières — Méthode gravimétrique manuelle
L'ISO 12141-2002 décrit une méthode de référence pour le mesurage de concentrations de matières particulaires (poussières) dans des effluents gazeux inférieures à 50 mg/m3 dans les conditions normales, et plus particulièrement pour des concentrations voisines de 5 mg/m3. L'ISO 12141-2002 a été élaborée et validée pour les écoulements gazeux émis par des incinérateurs d'ordures ménagères. De manière plus générale, elle peut être appliquée aux émissions provenant d'autres sources fixes, et à des concentrations supérieures. Si les gaz contiennent des substances instables, réactives ou semi-volatiles, le mesurage dépendra des conditions d'échantillonnage et de traitement du filtre.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a)
