Volatile organic compounds (VOC) are retained by the sorbent tube, which is subsequently analysed in the laboratory. The VOC are desorbed from the sampling tube and transferred by a flow of inert carrier gas into a capillary gas chromatograph coupled to a mass spectrometric detector (MS) and to a flame ionisation detector (FID) or only to a mass spectrometric detector.
EN 13999-2:2007 (E) 5 4 Reagents and materials 4.1 Volatile organic compounds for calibration Compounds of gas chromatographic grade. 4.2 Methanol Methanol of gas chromatographic grade. 4.3 Sorbent material For general purpose Tenax1) TA [1] (poly(2,6-diphenyl- p-phenylene oxide)), particle size (0,18 to 0,25) mm i.e. (60 to 80) mesh shall be used. For the determination of very volatile carcinogenic organic compounds (e.g. vinyl chloride) Chromosorb 1061) (polystyrene) or equivalent sorbent materials as described in EN ISO 16017-1 shall be used. 4.4 Carrier gas Helium, argon or nitrogen with a purity 99,999 % or better. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Sorbent tubes Sorbent tubes, made from stainless steel or glass, that can be filled with at least 200 mg of Tenax TA sorbent (4.3) are used. For example tubes with 6 mm external diameter, 5 mm internal diameter and 90 mm long fulfil the requirement and are used in many commercial thermal desorbing devices. NOTE It is recommended to use unsilanised glass wool or other suitable mechanism, e.g. stainless steel frit to retain the sorbent in the tube and metal screw caps and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) ferrules for closing the sorbent tube. Chromosorb1) or equivalent tubes are filled as described in EN ISO 16017-1. 5.2 Sorbent tube unions Two sorbent tubes may be connected in series during sampling with metal screw cap couplings with PTFE ferrules. 5.3 Syringes A precision 10 µl liquid syringe readable to 0,1 µl. 5.4 Sampling pump The pump shall fulfil the requirements of EN 1232 or equivalent.
1) Chromosorb 106 and Tenax TA are examples of suitable products available commercially. This information is given for the convenience of users of this European Standard and does not constitute an endorsement by CEN of this product.
EN 13999-2:2007 (E) 6 5.5 Tubing PE [poly(ethylene)] or PTFE tubing of appropriate diameter to ensure a leak-proof fit to both pump and sample tube. Sampling tubes shall not be used with plastic tubing other than PTFE upstream of the sorbent to avoid interference from contaminants. 5.6 Flow meter calibrator Bubble meter or other appropriate suitable device for gas flow calibration. 5.7 Gas chromatograph A capillary gas chromatograph coupled to a mass spectrometric detector and to a flame ionisation detector or only to a mass spectrometric detector shall be used in accordance with EN ISO 16017-1 and ISO 16000-6. 5.8 Thermal desorption apparatus Apparatus for two-stage thermal desorption of sorbent tubes and transfer of desorbed vapours via an inert gas flow into a gas chromatograph is required. A typical apparatus contains a mechanism for holding the tubes to be desorbed whilst they are heated and purged simultaneously with inert carrier gas. The desorption temperature and time is adjustable, as is the carrier gas flow rate. The apparatus may also incorporate additional features, such as automatic sample tube loading, leak testing, and a cold trap or another suitable device to concentrate the desorbed sample. The desorbed sample, contained in the purge gas, is routed to the gas chromatograph and capillary column via a heated transfer line. 5.9 Injection facility for preparing standards by liquid spiking Use a commercially available unit for preparation of calibration standards or any other device allowing reproducible preparation of calibration standards. 5.10 Emission test chamber
An emission test chamber as described in EN 13999-1 or in EN ISO 16000-9 shall be used. 6 Procedure 6.1 Preparation of sampling tubes 6.1.1 Preconditioning Use commercially pre-cleaned sampling tubes containing Tenax TA or sampling tubes that are preconditioned and filled in the laboratory as described for Tenax TA in this clause. For special purposes such as determination of specific carcinogenic volatile organic compounds as foreseen in EN 13999-1 other sorbent materials as described in EN ISO 16017-1 can be taken. Remove trace impurities of manufactured Tenax TA before using it for VOC sampling. The success of the cleaning procedure is checked by performing analysis of the blank sorbent. NOTE EN ISO 16017-1 suggests doing this by keeping the tubes at a temperature of 330 °C for at least 18 h using carrier gas flow of 100 ml/min. Pack one end of the sampling tubes with unsilanised glass wool or stainless steel gauze. Weigh the appropriate amount of adsorbent. Transfer the adsorbent into the tube e.g. using suction. Prior to storage or
EN 13999-2:2007 (E) 7 conditioning seal the open end of the tube in the same manner as was done with the other end. To maintain the sorption capacity of the sampling tube, use no less than 200 mg of sorbent per tube. 6.1.2 Conditioning Recondition the pre-cleaned sampling tubes prior to each use at temperature of (300 ± 10) °C for 10 min (Tenax TA) under inert carrier gas flow of (50 to 100) ml/min to remove trace organic volatiles possibly trapped on the tube. Analyse the tubes, using routine analytical parameters, to ensure that the thermal desorption blank is sufficiently small. If the blank is unacceptable, repeat the conditioning procedure. The sorbent tube blank level is acceptable if artefact peaks are no larger than 10 % of the typical areas of the analytes of interest. 6.1.3 Storage of conditioned sorbent tubes before sampling Seal the conditioned sorbent tubes with metal screw caps fitted with PTFE ferrules and store the tubes in an emission free container at room temperature. Conditioned sampling tubes shall be used within two weeks. Tubes stored for more than two weeks shall be reconditioned before sampling. If other sealing material than PTFE/metal is used then the tubes shall be used for sampling within 1 week. 6.2 Test chamber air sampling Assemble the sampling line. Prepare the test chamber sampling port as described in EN 13999-1 or
EN ISO 16000-9. If the sampling flow rate is determined with a calibrator, start the pump, note and record the sampling flo
