3、cope1.1 These test methods describe the evaluation of the totalsulfation activity in the atmosphere.Because of its oxidizingpower,lead dioxide(PbO2)converts not only sulfur dioxide(SO2),but other compounds,such as mercaptans and hydrogensulfide,into sulfate.It fixes sulfur trioxide and sulfuric acid
4、mist present in the atmosphere(see Note 1).1.2 Test Method A describes the use of a PbO2candle,andTest Method B describes that of a PbO2sulfation plate.21.3 These test methods provide a weighted average effectiveSO2level for a 30-day interval.1.4 The results of these test methods correlate approxi-m
5、ately with volumetric SO2concentrations,although thepresence of dew or condensed moisture tends to enhance thecapture of SO2onto the candle or plate.1.5 The values stated in SI units shall be regarded as thestandard.The values given in brackets are for information onlyand may be approximate.NOTE1It
6、has been shown that the rate constant of the chemicalreaction between SO2and PbO2is independent of the concentration ofSO2up to levels of 1000 ppm(v),if 15%or less of the PbO2has beenreduced(1).315%of the PbO2is equivalent to 11 to 12 mg of SO2/cm2per day.1.6 This standard does not purport to addres
7、s all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.For specificprecautionary statements,see Section 8.1.7 This in
