Introduction
Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and oxygen are gases found in the exhaust gases of combustion
processes. Determination of the concentration of these gases is necessary to demonstrate compliance
with local regulations and can assist the operator in the optimization of the combustion process. The
determination of O and/or CO is also necessary to normalize the measured concentration of other
2 2
gases and dusts to defined conditions. There are a number of ways to measure concentrations of CO,
CO and O in stacks/ducts.

5 Principle
This document describes automated measurement systems for sampling, sample conditioning, and
determining CO, CO and O content in flue gas using instrumental methods (analysers).
2 2
There are two types of automated measuring systems:
— extractive systems;
— in situ systems.
With extractive systems, the representative gas sample is taken from the stack with a sampling probe
and conveyed to the analyser through the sampling line and sample gas conditioning system.
In situ systems do not require any sample processing. For the installation of these systems, a
representative place in the stack is to be chosen.
The systems described in this document measure CO, CO and O concentrations using instrumental
2 2
methods that shall meet the minimum performance specifications given.
This document specifies performance characteristics and criteria for AMS.
6 Description of the automated measuring systems
6.1 Sampling and sample gas conditioning systems
Sampling and sample gas conditioning systems for extractive and in situ methods shall conform to
ISO 10396.
In extractive sampling, these gases are conditioned to remove aerosols, particulate matter and other
interfering substances before being conveyed to the instruments. Three kinds of extractive systems:
a) Cold-dry,
b) Hot-wet, and
c) Dilution,
as well as non-extractive systems, are described in ISO 10396. In non-extractive sampling, the
measurements are made in situ; therefore, no sample conditioning other than filtering of filterable
materials at the probe tip is required.
The details of the extractive sampling and sample gas conditioning systems as well as analyser
equipment are described in Annex A and Annex B. In Annex C, two kinds of in situ systems are
illustrated.
6.2 Analyser equipment
Examples of the typical analytical methods available are described in the Annex A, Annex B and
Annex C.
AMS shall meet the performance characteristics described in Clause 7.

The measuring range is defined by two values of the measurand, or quantity to be supplied, within
which the limits of uncertainty of the measuring instrument are specified. The upper limit of the lowest
measuring range used should be set suitable to the application such that the measurement values lie
within 20 % to 80 % of the measuring range.
7.2 Determination of the performance characteristics
7.2.1 Performance test
The performance characteristics of the AMS shall be determined during the performance tests
described in Annex E. The values of the performance characteristics determined shall meet the
performance criteria specified in Table 1.
The ambient conditions applied during the performance tests shall be documented.
The measurement uncertainty of the AMS measured values shall be calculated in accordance with
ISO 14956 on the basis of the performance characteristics determined during the performance test
and shall meet the level of uncertainty appropriate for the intended use. These characteristics may be
determined either by the manufacturer or by the user.
7.2.2 Ongoing quality control
The user shall check specific performance characteristics during ongoing operation of the measuring
system with a periodicity specified in Table 2.
The measurement uncertainty during field application shall be determined by the user of the measuring
system in accordance with applicable international or national standards. For process monitoring (non-
regulatory application), the level of uncertainty shall be appropriate for the intended use. It can be
determined by a direct or an indirect approach for uncertainty estimation as described in ISO 20988.
The uncertainty of the measured values under field operation is not only influenced by the performance
characteristics of the analyser itself but also by uncertainty contributions due to:
— the sampling line and conditioning system,
— the site-specific conditions, and
— the calibration gases used.

ISO 12039:2019(E)
8 Selection and installation procedure
8.1 Choice of the measuring system
To choose an appropriate analyser, sampling line and conditioning unit, the following characteristics of
flue gases should be known before the field operation:
— ambient temperature range;
— temperature range of the flue gas;
— water vapour content of the flue gas;
— dust loading of the gases;
— expected concentration range of CO, CO and O ;
2 2
— expected concentration of potentially interfering substances;
To avoid long response time and memory effects, the sampling line should be as short as possible. If
necessary, a bypass pump should be used. If there is a high dust loading in the sample gas, an appropriate
heated filter shall be used.
Before monitoring emissions, the user shall verify that the necessary QA/QC procedures have been
performed.
NOTE Information on QA/QC procedures is provided in ISO 14385-1 and ISO 14385-2.
8.2 Sampling
8.2.1 Sampling location
The sampling site shall be in an accessible location where a representative measurement can be made.
In addition, the sampling location shall be chosen with regard to safety of the personnel.
8.2.2 Representative sampling
It is necessary to ensure that the gas concentrations measured are representative of the average
conditions inside the flue gas duct.
NOTE The selection of sampling points for representative sampling is described e.g. in ISO 10396, where gas
stratification, fluctuations in gas velocity, temperature and others are mentioned.
8.3 Calculation
8.3.1 Conversion from volume to mass concentration for CO
Results of the measurement for CO shall be expressed as mass concentrations at reference conditions.
If the CO concentration is provided as a volume fraction, Formula (1) shall be used to convert volume

Introduction
Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and oxygen are gases found in the exhaust gases of combustion
processes. Determination of the concentration of these gases is necessary to demonstrate compliance
with local regulations and can assist the operator in the optimization of the combustion process. The
determination of O and/or CO is also necessary to normalize the measured concentration of other
2 2
gases and dusts to defined conditions. There are a number of ways to measure concentrations of CO,
CO and O in stacks/ducts.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 12039:2019(E)
Stationary source emissions — Determination of the
mass concentration of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide
and oxygen in flue gas — Performance characteristics of
automated measuring systems
1 Scope
This document specifies the fundamental structure and the most important performance characteristics
of automated measuring systems for carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO ) and oxygen (O )
2 2
to be used on stationary source emissions. This document describes methods and equipment for the
measurement of concentrations of these gases.
The method allows continuous monitoring with permanently installed measuring systems of CO, CO
2
and O emissions. This international standard describes extractive systems and in situ (non-extractive)
2
systems in connection with analysers that operate using, for example, the following principles:
— infrared absorption (CO and CO );
2
— paramagnetism (O );
2
— zirconium oxide (O );
2
— electrochemical cell (O );
2
— tuneable laser spectroscopy (TLS) (CO, CO and O ).
2 2
Other instrumental methods can be used provided they meet the minimum requirements proposed in
this document.
Automated measuring systems (AMS) based on the principles above have been used successfully in this
application for measuring ranges which are described in Annex G.

5 Principle
This document describes automated measurement systems for sampling, sample conditioning, and
determining CO, CO and O content in flue gas using instrumental methods (analysers).
2 2
There are two types of automated measuring systems:
— extractive systems;
— in situ systems.
With extractive systems, the representative gas sample is taken from the stack with a sampling probe
and conveyed to the analyser through the sampling line and sample gas conditioning system.
In situ systems do not require any sample processing. For the installation of these systems, a
representative place in the stack is to be chosen.
The systems described in this document measure CO, CO and O concentrations using instrumental
2 2
methods that shall meet the minimum performance specifications given.
This document specifies performance characteristics and criteria for AMS.
6 Description of the automated measuring systems
6.1 Sampling and sample gas conditioning systems
Sampling and sample gas conditioning systems for extractive and in situ methods shall conform to
ISO 10396.
In extractive sampling, these gases are conditioned to remove aerosols, particulate matter and other
interfering substances before being conveyed to the instruments. Three kinds of extractive systems:
a) Cold-dry,
b) Hot-wet, and
c) Dilution,
as well as non-extractive systems, are described in ISO 10396. In non-extractive sampling, the
measurements are made in situ; therefore, no sample conditioning other than filtering of filterable
materials at the probe tip is required.
The details of the extractive sampling and sample gas conditioning systems as well as analyser
equipment are described in Annex A and Annex B. In Annex C, two kinds of in situ systems are
illustrated.
6.2 Analyser equipment
Examples of the typical analytical methods available are described in the Annex A, Annex B and
Annex C.
AMS shall meet the performance characteristics described in Clause 7.

which the limits of uncertainty of the measuring instrument are specified. The upper limit of the lowest
measuring range used should be set suitable to the application such that the measurement values lie
within 20 % to 80 % of the measuring range.
7.2 Determination of the performance characteristics
7.2.1 Performance test
The performance characteristics of the AMS shall be determined during the performance tests
described in Annex E. The values of the performance characteristics determined shall meet the
performance criteria specified in Table 1.
The ambient conditions applied during the performance tests shall be documented.
The measurement uncertainty of the AMS measured values shall be calculated in accordance with
ISO 14956 on the basis of the performance characteristics determined during the performance test
and shall meet the level of uncertainty appropriate for the intended use. These characteristics may be
determined either by the manufacturer or by the user.
7.2.2 Ongoing quality control
The user shall check specific performance characteristics during ongoing operation of the measuring
system with a periodicity specified in Table 2.
The measurement uncertainty during field application shall be determined by the user of the measuring
system in accordance with applicable international or national standards. For process monitoring (non-
regulatory application), the level of uncertainty shall be appropriate for the intended use. It can be
determined by a direct or an indirect approach for uncertainty estimation as described in ISO 20988.
The uncertainty of the measured values under field operation is not only influenced by the performance
characteristics of the analyser itself but also by uncertainty contributions due to:
— the sampling line and conditioning system,
— the site-specific conditions, and
— the calibration gases used.

8 Selection and installation procedure
8.1 Choice of the measuring system
To choose an appropriate analyser, sampling line and conditioning unit, the following characteristics of
flue gases should be known before the field operation:
— ambient temperature range;
— temperature range of the flue gas;
— water vapour content of the flue gas;
— dust loading of the gases;
— expected concentration range of CO, CO and O ;
2 2
— expected concentration of potentially interfering substances;
To avoid long response time and memory effects, the sampling line should be as short as possible. If
necessary, a bypass pump should be used. If there is a high dust loading in the sample gas, an appropriate
heated filter shall be used.

Introduction
Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and oxygen are gases found in the exhaust gases of combustion
processes. Determination of the concentration of these gases is necessary to demonstrate compliance
with local regulations and can assist the operator in the optimization of the combustion process. The
determination of O and/or CO is also necessary to normalize the measured concentration of other
2 2
gases and dusts to defined conditions. There are a number of ways to measure concentrations of CO,
CO and O in stacks/ducts.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 12039:2019(E)
Stationary source emissions — Determination of the
mass concentration of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide
and oxygen in flue gas — Performance characteristics of
automated measuring systems
1 Scope
This document specifies the fundamental structure and the most important performance characteristics
of automated measuring systems for carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO ) and oxygen (O )
2 2
to be used on stationary source emissions. This document describes methods and equipment for the
measurement of concentrations of these gases.
The method allows continuous monitoring with permanently installed measuring systems of CO, CO
2
and O emissions. This international standard describes extractive systems and in situ (non-extractive)
2
systems in connection with analysers that operate using, for example, the following principles:
— infrared absorption (CO and CO );
2
— paramagnetism (O );
2
— zirconium oxide (O );
2
— electrochemical cell (O );
2
— tuneable laser spectroscopy (TLS) (CO, CO and O ).
2 2
Other instrumental methods can be used provided they meet the minimum requirements proposed in
this document.
Automated measuring systems (AMS) based on the principles above have been used successfully in this
application for measuring ranges which are described in Annex G.

5 Principle
This document describes automated measurement systems for sampling, sample conditioning, and
determining CO, CO and O content in flue gas using instrumental methods (analysers).
2 2
There are two types of automated measuring systems:
— extractive systems;
— in situ systems.
With extractive systems, the representative gas sample is taken from the stack with a sampling probe
and conveyed to the analyser through the sampling line and sample gas conditioning system.
In situ systems do not require any sample processing. For the installation of these systems, a
representative place in the stack is to be chosen.
The systems described in this document measure CO, CO and O concentrations using instrumental
2 2
methods that shall meet the minimum performance specifications given.
This document specifies performance characteristics and criteria for AMS.
6 Description of the automated measuring systems
6.1 Sampling and sample gas conditioning systems
Sampling and sample gas conditioning systems for extractive and in situ methods shall conform to
ISO 10396.
In extractive sampling, these gases are conditioned to remove aerosols, particulate matter and other
interfering substances before being conveyed to the instruments. Three kinds of extractive systems:
a) Cold-dry,
b) Hot-wet, and
c) Dilution,
as well as non-extractive systems, are described in ISO 10396. In non-extractive sampling, the
measurements are made in situ; therefore, no sample conditioning other than filtering of filterable
materials at the probe tip is required.
The details of the extractive sampling and sample gas conditioning systems as well as analyser
equipment are described in Annex A and Annex B. In Annex C, two kinds of in situ systems are
illustrated.
6.2 Analyser equipment
Examples of the typical analytical methods available are described in the Annex A, Annex B and
Annex C.
AMS shall meet the performance characteristics described in Clause 7.

measuring range used should be set suitable to the application such that the measurement values lie
within 20 % to 80 % of the measuring range.
7.2 Determination of the performance characteristics
7.2.1 Performance test
The performance characteristics of the AMS shall be determined during the performance tests
described in Annex E. The values of the performance characteristics determined shall meet the
performance criteria specified in Table 1.
The ambient conditions applied during the performance tests shall be documented.
The measurement uncertainty of the AMS measured values shall be calculated in accordance with
ISO 14956 on the basis of the performance characteristics determined during the performance test
and shall meet the level of uncertainty appropriate for the intended use. These characteristics may be
determined either by the manufacturer or by the user.
7.2.2 Ongoing quality control
The user shall check specific performance characteristics during ongoing operation of the measuring
system with a periodicity specified in Table 2.
The measurement uncertainty during field application shall be determined by the user of the measuring
system in accordance with applicable international or national standards. For process monitoring (non-
regulatory application), the level of uncertainty shall be appropriate for the intended use. It can be
determined by a direct or an indirect approach for uncertainty estimation as described in ISO 20988.
The uncertainty of the measured values under field operation is not only influenced by the performance
characteristics of the analyser itself but also by uncertainty contributions due to:
— the sampling line and conditioning system,
— the site-specific conditions, and
— the calibration gases used.

8 Selection and installation procedure
8.1 Choice of the measuring system
To choose an appropriate analyser, sampling line and conditioning unit, the following characteristics of
flue gases should be known before the field operation:
— ambient temperature range;
— temperature range of the flue gas;
— water vapour content of the flue gas;
— dust loading of the gases;
— expected concentration range of CO, CO and O ;
2 2
— expected concentration of potentially interfering substances;
To avoid long response time and memory effects, the sampling line should be as short as possible. If
necessary, a bypass pump should be used. If there is a high dust loading in the sample gas, an appropriate
heated filter shall be used.
Before monitoring emissions, the user sha
