1、Designation:D160816Standard Test Method forOxides of Nitrogen in Gaseous Combustion Products(Phenol-Disulfonic Acid Procedures)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D1608;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision
2、,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method describes the phenol-disulfonic acidcolorimetric procedure(1)2for the determination of totalo
3、xides of nitrogen nitrous oxide(N2O)excepted in gaseouseffluents from combustion and other nitrogen oxidation pro-cesses.1.2 It is applicable to a concentration range of oxides ofnitrogen as nitrogen dioxide(NO2)of 5 ppm to severalthousand parts per million by volume(four to several thousandmilligra
4、ms per dry standard cubic metre).1.3 Since the grab sampling technique used takes a rela-tively small sample over a very short period of time,the resultobtained will be an instantaneous measure of the nitrogenoxides and,therefore,will be representative of the emissionsonly if the gas stream is well

6、arningMercury has been designated by many regu-latory agencies as a hazardous material that can cause seriousmedical issues.Mercury,or its vapor,has been demonstrated tobe hazardous to health and corrosive to materials.Cautionshould be taken when handling mercury and mercury contain-ing products.See
7、 the applicable product Safety Data Sheet(SDS)for additional information.Users should be aware thatselling mercury and/or mercury containing products into yourstate or country may be prohibited by law.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its
8、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 more specificsafety precautionary information see 8.5 and Section 3.)2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D
