Historical Standard: ASTM D6348-03(2010) Standard Test Method for Determination of Gaseous Compounds by Extractive Direct Interface Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D6348
1. Scope
1.1 This field test method employs an extractive sampling system to direct stationary source effluent to an FTIR spectrometer for the identification and quantification of gaseous compounds. This test method is potentially applicable for the determination of compounds that ( 1 ) have sufficient vapor pressure to be transported to the FTIR spectrometer and ( 2 ) absorb a sufficient amount of infrared radiation to be detected.
1.2 This field test method provides near real time analysis of extracted gas samples from stationary sources. Gas streams with high moisture content may require conditioning to minimize the excessive spectral absorption features imposed by water vapor.
