ISO 9096:2017

Stationary source emissions — Manual determination of mass concentration of particulate matter

ISO 9096:2017 describes a reference method for the measurement of particulate matter (dust) concentration in waste gases of concentrations from 20 mg/m3 to 1 000 mg/m3 under standard conditions. ISO 9096:2017 is applicable to the calibration of automated monitoring systems (AMS). If the emission gas contains unstable, reactive or semi-volatile substances, the measurement will depend on the filtration temperature. In-stack methods can be more applicable than out-stack methods for the calibration of automated monitoring systems.

Emisije nepremičnih virov - Ročno določevanje masne koncentracije delcev

Ta dokument opisuje referenčno metodo za merjenje koncentracije delcev (prahu) v izpušnih plinih pri koncentracijah med 20 mg/m3 in 1000 mg/m3 pod standardnimi pogoji.
Ta dokument se uporablja pri umerjanju avtomatiziranih sistemov nadzora (AMS). Če emisijski plin vsebuje nestabilne, reaktivne ali polhlapne snovi, bo meritev odvisna od temperature filtracije. Metode v odvodnikih za zrak so pri umerjanju avtomatiziranih sistemov nadzora lahko bolj uporabne kot metode zunaj odvodnikov za zrak.

Introduction
Close liaison and cooperation between ISO/TC 146/SC 1 and CEN/TC 264 has resulted in the preparation
of this document, ISO 12141 and EN 13824-1. This document is similar to EN 13284-1 with additional
emphasis given on the use of high-volume sampling techniques. A representative, integrated sample
is extracted from the flue gas and the particulate matter entrained in the gas sample is separated by
a filter. The pre-weighed filter is subsequently dried and weighed. A relative increase in the mass is
attributed to the collection of particulate matter on the filter.
To meet the specifications of this document, the particulate sample is weighed to a specified level of
accuracy. This level of accuracy is achieved by:
a) exercising extreme care in weighing, in accordance with the procedures of this document;
b) extending the sampling time at conventional sampling rates;
c) sampling at higher rates for conventional sampling times (high-volume sampling);
d) recovering all dust upstream of the filter.

concentration in waste gases of concentrations from 20 mg/m to 1 000 mg/m under standard
conditions.
This document is applicable to the calibration of automated monitoring systems (AMS). If the emission
gas contains unstable, reactive or semi-volatile substances, the measurement will depend on the
filtration temperature. In-stack methods can be more applicable than out-stack methods for the
calibration of automated monitoring systems.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at http:// www .iso .org/ obp
— IEC Electropedia: available at http:// www .electropedia .org/
3.1
particulate matter
dust
particles, of any shape, structure or density, dispersed in the gas phase under the sampling conditions
Note 1 to entry: In the method described, all the compounds that may be collected by filtration under specified
conditions after representative sampling of the gas to be analysed, and which remain upstream of the filter and
on the filter after drying under specified conditions, are considered to be dust (or particulate matter). However,
for the purposes of some national standards, the definition of particulate matter can extend to condensibles or
reaction products collected under specified conditions (e.g. temperatures lower than the flue gas temperature).
Note 2 to entry: This method restricts the definition of particulate matter to that material collected in the
sampling system on and before a filter, under specified temperature conditions. Procedures for the measurement
of secondary particulate matter (condensible materials) formed and collected after the filter are not within the
scope of this document.

3.11
overall blank
test sample taken at the plant site in an identical manner to the normal samples in the series, except
that no gas is sampled during the test duration
Note 1 to entry: The measured mass variation provides an estimation of the uncertainties. The overall blank
value, divided by the average sampling volume of the measurement series, provides an estimation of the detection
limit (milligrams per cubic metre) of the whole measurement process, as carried out by the operator. The overall
blank includes possible deposits on the filter and on all parts upstream.
3.12
weighing control procedures
quality control procedures utilized for detecting/correcting apparent mass variations due to climatic
or environmental changes between pre- and post-sampling weighing series
Note 1 to entry: In these procedures, control parts are used (see 7.2) which are identical to those to be weighed
for dust measurement and are pre-treated under the same conditions of temperature and humidity. The control
parts are kept free from dust contamination.
3.13
measurement series
successive measurements carried out in the same sampling plane (3.7), and under the same process
conditions
3.14
limit value
dust concentration that is permitted by authorities for the plant process (i.e. average limit value)
Note 1 to entry: For purposes other than regulatory uses, the measurement value is compared to a stated
reference value.
4 Principle
4.1 General
A sample stream of the gas is extracted from the main gas stream at specified sampling points for
a measured period of time, with an isokinetic, controlled flowrate. The volume of gas collected is
measured, and a pre-weighed filter, which is then dried and reweighed, separates the particulate
matter (dust) entrained in the gas sample. Deposits upstream of the filter in the sampling equipment
are also recovered and weighed. The increase in mass of the filter and the mass deposited upstream of
the filter is attributed to particulate matter collected from the sampled gas. The ratio of the mass of the
4 © ISO 2017 – All rights reserved

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
ISO 9096:2017(E)

particulate matter collected to the volume of gas collected allows the flue gas particulate concentration
to be calculated.
Valid measurements can be achieved only when:
a) an adequate quantity of dust is collected during the sampling, which is at least 5 times the
corresponding overall blank value;
b) the gas stream in the duct at the sampling location has a sufficiently steady and identified velocity,
temperature and pressure, and a sufficiently homogeneous composition;
c) the flow of gas is parallel to the axis of the nozzle;
d) sampling is carried out without disturbance of the gas stream, using a sharp-edged nozzle facing
into the stream;
e) isokinetic sampling conditions are maintained throughout the test;
f) samples are taken at a preselected number of stated positions in the sampling plane to obtain a
representative sample for a non-uniform distribution of particulate matter in the duct or stack;
g) the sampling train is designed and operated to avoid condensation and to be leak-free;
h) calibration criteria are met;
i) sampling blank and leak-check criteria are met;
j) dust deposits upstream of the filter are recovered and/or taken into account;
k) the sampling and weighing procedures are adapted to the expected dust quantities as specified in
this document.
4.2 Interferences
a) Positive interference
Gaseous species present in stack gases that are capable of reacting to form particulate matter
within the sample train can result in positive interference. Examples include the potential reaction
of sulfur dioxide (SO ) to an insoluble sulfate compound in the high-humidity portion of the system,
2
such as with limestone in flue gas following a wet flue-gas desulfurization system (FGDS) to form
calcium sulfate (CaSO ), or the reaction with ammonia gas (NH ) to form ammonium sulfate
4 3
(NH SO ) [see 7.1 a)].
4 4
b) Negative interference
1) Certain acid gaseous species can erode the filter material, resulting in negative interference.
For example, the reaction of hydrogen fluoride (HF) with glass components in the sample train
(see 6.2.5).
2) Volatile matter existing in solid or liquid form in the stack gas may vaporize after collection
on the sample train filtration material, due to continued exposure to the hot sample stream
during the sampling period. This would result in a negative interference (see 8.1).
5 Sampling plane and sampling points
5.1 General
Representative sampling is possible when a suitable location is available, having a sufficiently
homogeneous gas velocity at the sampling plane.
© ISO 2017 – All rights reserved 5

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
ISO 9096:2017(E)

Sampling shall be carried out at a sufficient number of sampling points, usually located on several
sampling lines. Convenient access ports and a working platform shall be available for the testing.
5.2 Sampling plane
The sampling plane shall be situated in a length of straight duct (preferably vertical) with a constant
shape and cross-sectional area. The sampling plane shall be as far downstream and upstream as
possible from any obstruction that can cause a disturbance and produce a change in the direction of
flow (disturbances caused by, for example, bends, fans or pollution abatement equipment).
5.3 Requirements for sampling points
Preliminary measurements at all the sampling points defined in 5.4 and Annex B shall prove that the
gas stream in the sampling plane meets the following requirements:
a) the angle of gas flow is less than 15° with regard to the duct axis (a recommended method for
estimation is indicated in ISO 10780:1994, Annex C);
b) no local negative flow is present;
c) the minimum velocity is higher than the detection limit of the method used for the flowrate
measurement (for Pitot tubes, a differential pressure larger than 5 Pa);
d) the ratio of the highest to lowest local gas velocities is less than 3:1.
If the above requirements cannot be met, the uncertainty is higher than that specified by this document
and the sampling location is not in compliance with this document (see 7.4.6).
The above requirements are generally met in sections of duct with at least five hydraulic diameters of
straight duct upstream of the sampling plane and at least two hydraulic diameters downstream. (If the
sampling plane is to be located near the stack exit, it should be no less than five hydraulic diameters
from the exit.) Therefore, it is strongly recommended that sampling locations be selected accordingly.
5.4 Minimum number and location of sampling points
The dimensions of the sampling plane dictate the minimum number of sampling points. In general, this
number increases as the duct dimensions increase.
Tables 1 and 2 give the minimum number of sampling points to be used for circular and rectangular
ducts respectively. The sampling points shall be located at the centres of equal areas in the sampling
plane (in accordance with Annex B).
Sampling points shall not be located within 3 % of the sampling line length (if d > 1,5 m) or 5 cm (if
d < 1,5 m) from the inner duct wall. Choose the inner edge of the area when calculations result in
sampling point positions within this area. This may arise when selecting more than the minimum
numbers of sampling points presented in Tables 1 and 2, for example in cases of unusual duct shape.
NOTE When the requirements for the sampling plane (see 5.2) cannot be met, it is sometimes possible to
improve representative sampling by increasing the number of sampling points above those specified in Tables 1
and 2. See also 7.3.2 for sampling-point premeasurement procedures.

Introduction
Close liaison and cooperation between ISO/TC 146/SC 1 and CEN/TC 264 has resulted in the preparation
of this document, ISO 12141 and EN 13824-1. This document is similar to EN 13284-1 with additional
emphasis given on the use of high-volume sampling techniques. A representative, integrated sample
is extracted from the flue gas and the particulate matter entrained in the gas sample is separated by
a filter. The pre-weighed filter is subsequently dried and weighed. A relative increase in the mass is
attributed to the collection of particulate matter on the filter.
To meet the specifications of this document, the particulate sample is weighed to a specified level of
accuracy. This level of accuracy is achieved by:
a) exercising extreme care in weighing, in accordance with the procedures of this document;
b) extending the sampling time at conventional sampling rates;
c) sampling at higher rates for conventional sampling times (high-volume sampling);
d) recovering all dust upstream of the filter.

concentration in waste gases of concentrations from 20 mg/m to 1 000 mg/m under standard
conditions.
This document is applicable to the calibration of automated monitoring systems (AMS). If the emission
gas contains unstable, reactive or semi-volatile substances, the measurement will depend on the
filtration temperature. In-stack methods can be more applicable than out-stack methods for the
calibration of automated monitoring systems.

3.1
particulate matter
dust
particles, of any shape, structure or density, dispersed in the gas phase under the sampling conditions
Note 1 to entry: In the method described, all the compounds that may be collected by filtration under specified
conditions after representative sampling of the gas to be analysed, and which remain upstream of the filter and
on the filter after drying under specified conditions, are considered to be dust (or particulate matter). However,
for the purposes of some national standards, the definition of particulate matter can extend to condensibles or
reaction products collected under specified conditions (e.g. temperatures lower than the flue gas temperature).
Note 2 to entry: This method restricts the definition of particulate matter to that material collected in the
sampling system on and before a filter, under specified temperature conditions. Procedures for the measurement
of secondary particulate matter (condensible materials) formed and collected after the filter are not within the
scope of this document.

4 Principle
4.1 General
A sample stream of the gas is extracted from the main gas stream at specified sampling points for
a measured period of time, with an isokinetic, controlled flowrate. The volume of gas collected is
measured, and a pre-weighed filter, which is then dried and reweighed, separates the particulate
matter (dust) entrained in the gas sample. Deposits upstream of the filter in the sampling equipment
are also recovered and weighed. The increase in mass of the filter and the mass deposited upstream of
the filter is attributed to particulate matter collected from the sampled gas. The ratio of the mass of the
4 © ISO 2017 – All rights reserved

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------

SIST ISO 9096:2018
ISO 9096:2017(E)

particulate matter collected to the volume of gas collected allows the flue gas particulate concentration
to be calculated.
Valid measurements can be achieved only when:
a) an adequate quantity of dust is collected during the sampling, which is at least 5 times the
corresponding overall blank value;
b) the gas stream in the duct at the sampling location has a sufficiently steady and identified velocity,
temperature and pressure, and a sufficiently homogeneous composition;
c) the flow of gas is parallel to the axis of the nozzle;
d) sampling is carried out without disturbance of the gas stream, using a sharp-edged nozzle facing
into the stream;
e) isokinetic sampling conditions are maintained throughout the test;
f) samples are taken at a preselected number of stated positions in the sampling plane to obtain a
representative sample for a non-uniform distribution of particulate matter in the duct or stack;
g) the sampling train is designed and operated to avoid condensation and to be leak-free;
h) calibration criteria are met;
i) sampling blank and leak-check criteria are met;
j) dust deposits upstream of the filter are recovered and/or taken into account;
k) the sampling and weighing procedures are adapted to the expected dust quantities as specified in
this document.
4.2 Interferences
a) Positive interference
Gaseous species present in stack gases that are capable of reacting to form particulate matter
within the sample train can result in positive interference. Examples include the potential reaction
of sulfur dioxide (SO ) to an insoluble sulfate compound in the high-humidity portion of the system,
2
such as with limestone in flue gas following a wet flue-gas desulfurization system (FGDS) to form
calcium sulfate (CaSO ), or the reaction with ammonia gas (NH ) to form ammonium sulfate
4 3
(NH SO ) [see 7.1 a)].
4 4
b) Negative interference
1) Certain acid gaseous species can erode the filter material, resulting in negative interference.
For example, the reaction of hydrogen fluoride (HF) with glass components in the sample train
(see 6.2.5).
2) Volatile matter existing in solid or liquid form in the stack gas may vaporize after collection
on the sample train filtration material, due to continued exposure to the hot sample stream
during the sampling period. This would result in a negative interference (see 8.1).
5 Sampling plane and sampling points
5.1 General
Representative sampling is possible when a suitable location is available, having a sufficiently
homogeneous gas velocity at the sampling plane.
© ISO 2017 – All rights reserved 5

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------

SIST ISO 9096:2018
ISO 9096:2017(E)

Sampling shall be carried out at a sufficient number of sampling points, usually located on several
sampling lines. Convenient access ports and a working platform shall be available for the testing.
5.2 Sampling plane
The sampling plane shall be situated in a length of straight duct (preferably vertical) with a constant
shape and cross-sectional area. The sampling plane shall be as far downstream and upstream as
possible from any obstruction that can cause a disturbance and produce a change in the direction of
flow (disturbances caused by, for example, bends, fans or pollution abatement equipment).
5.3 Requirements for sampling points
Preliminary measurements at all the sampling points defined in 5.4 and Annex B shall prove that the
gas stream in the sampling plane meets the following requirements:
a) the angle of gas flow is less than 15° with regard to the duct axis (a recommended method for
estimation is indicated in ISO 10780:1994, Annex C);
b) no local negative flow is present;
c) the minimum velocity is higher than the detection limit of the method used for the flowrate
measurement (for Pitot tubes, a differential pressure larger than 5 Pa);
d) the ratio of the highest to lowest local gas velocities is less than 3:1.
If the above requirements cannot be met, the uncertainty is higher than that specified by this document
and the sampling location is not in compliance with this document (see 7.4.6).
The above requirements are generally met in sections of duct with at least five hydraulic diameters of
straight duct upstream of the sampling plane and at least two hydraulic diameters downstream. (If the
sampling plane is to be located near the stack exit, it should be no less than five hydraulic diameters
from the exit.) Therefore, it is strongly recommended that sampling locations be selected accordingly.
5.4 Minimum number and location of sampling points
The dimensions of the sampling plane dictate the minimum number of sampling points. In general, this
number increases as the duct dimensions increase.
Tables 1 and 2 give the minimum number of sampling points to be used for circular and rectangular
ducts respectively. The sampling points shall be located at the centres of equal areas in the sampling
plane (in accordance with Annex B).

4.1 General
A sample stream of the gas is extracted from the main gas stream at specified sampling points for
a measured period of time, with an isokinetic controlled flowrate. The volume of gas collected is
measured, and a pre-weighed filter, which is then dried and reweighed, separates the particulate
matter (dust) entrained in the gas sample. Deposits upstream of the filter in the sampling equipment
are also recovered and weighed. The increase in mass of the filter and the mass deposited upstream of
the filter is attributed to particulate matter collected from the sampled gas. The ratio of the mass of the

particulate matter collected to the volume of gas collected allows the flue gas particulate concentration
to be calculated.
Valid measurements can be achieved only when:
a) an adequate quantity of dust is collected during the sampling, which is at least 5 times the
corresponding overall blank value;
b) the gas stream in the duct at the sampling location has a sufficiently steady and identified velocity,
temperature and pressure, and a sufficiently homogeneous composition;
c) the flow of gas is parallel to the axis of the nozzle;
d) sampling is carried out without disturbance of the gas stream, using a sharp­edged nozzle facing
into the stream;
e) isokinetic sampling conditions are maintained throughout the test;
f) samples are taken at a preselected number of stated positions in the sampling plane to obtain a
representative sample for a non­uniform distribution of particulate matter in the duct or stack;
g) the sampling train is designed and operated to avoid condensation and to be leak­free;
h) calibration criteria are met;
i) sampling blank and leak­check criteria are met;
j) dust deposits upstream of the filter are recovered and/or taken into account;
k) the sampling and weighing procedures are adapted to the expected dust quantities as specified in
this document.
4.2 Interferences
a) Positive interference
Gaseous species present in stack gases that are capable of reacting to form particulate matter
within the sample train can result in positive interference. Examples include the potential reaction
of sulfur dioxide (SO ) to an insoluble sulfate compound in the high-humidity portion of the system,
2
such as with limestone in flue gas following a wet flue-gas desulfurization system (FGDS) to form
calcium sulfate (CaSO ), or the reaction with ammonia gas (NH ) to form ammonium sulfate
4 3
(NH SO ) [see 7.1 a)].
4 4
b) Negative interference
1) Certain acid gaseous species can erode the filter material, resulting in negative interference.
For example, the reaction of hydrogen fluoride (HF) with glass components in the sample train
(see 6.2.5).
2) Volatile matter existing in solid or liquid form in the stack gas may vaporize after collection
on the sample train filtration material, due to continued exposure to the hot sample stream
during the sampling period. This would result in a negative interference (see 8.1).
5 Sampling plane and sampling points
5.1 General
Representative sampling is possible when a suitable location is available, having a sufficiently
homogeneous gas velocity at the sampling plane.

Sampling shall be carried out at a sufficient number of sampling points, usually located on several
sampling lines. Convenient access ports and a working platform shall be available for the testing.
5.2 Sampling plane
The sampling plane shall be situated in a length of straight duct (preferably vertical) with a constant
shape and cross­sectional area. The sampling plane shall be as far downstream and upstream as
possible from any obstruction that can cause a disturbance and produce a change in the direction of
flow (disturbances caused by, for example, bends, fans or pollution abatement equipment).
5.3 Requirements for sampling points
Preliminary measurements at all the sampling points defined in 5.4 and Annex B shall prove that the
gas stream in the sampling plane meets the following requirements:
a) the angle of gas flow is less than 15° with regard to the duct axis (a recommended method for
estimation is indicated in ISO 10780:1994, Annex C);
b) no local negative flow is present;
c) the minimum velocity is higher than the detection limit of the method used for the flowrate
measurement (for Pitot tubes, a differential pressure larger than 5 Pa);
d) the ratio of the highest to lowest local gas velocities is less than 3:1.
If the above requirements cannot be met, the uncertainty is higher than that specified by this document
and the sampling location is not in compliance with this document (see 7.4.6).
The above requirements are generally met in sections of duct with at least five hydraulic diameters of
straight duct upstream of the sampling plane and two hydraulic diameters downstream (five hydraulic
diameter from the t
