Summary of Test Method4.1 A fabric filter sample is challenged with a standard dust(particulate matter) under simulated baghouse conditions atspecified rates for air and dust flow.4.2 The test consist
24、s of three test runs. Each run consists ofthree sequential phases or test periods during which dust andgas flow rates are continuously maintained to test specification.4.2.1 The test phases are:4.2.1.1 A conditioning period consisting of 10 000 rapidpulse filtration cycles to simulate long term oper
25、ation,4.2.1.2 A30 normal filtration cycle recovery period to allowthe test specimen to recover from rapid pulsing, and4.2.1.3 A two-hour performance test period, consisting ofnormal filtration cycles, during which measurements for par-ticulate emissions are determined by gravimetric measurementof th
26、e particulate matter which passes through the test speci-men.4.3 PM 2.5 emission determinations can also be conductedby employing a cascade impactor and modifying the clean gasduct of the test apparatus to insure that isokinetic samplingrates through the impactor are maintained.4.3.1 If measuring fo
27、r PM 2.5 it is advised that the perfor-mance test period be increased from 120 minutes to at least 360minutes to allow for adequate weight gains on each collectionstage of the impactor.4.4 Initial residual pressure drop, average residual pressuredrop, residual pressure drop increase, number of filtr
28、ationcycles, and average filtration cycle time are monitored andrecorded during the performance test period. Table 1 and Table2 provide test specifications and test conditions respectively.Table 3 provides a listing of results that will be obtained fromthis test.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test
29、method determines the comparative perfor-mance of filter media. The results can be used for design,manufacturing, construction and selection of filter media.5.2 Results obtained by this test method should not be usedto predict absolute performance on full scale fabric filter(baghouse) facilities, ho
30、wever these results will be useful inselection of proper filter media and identification of recom-mended operating parameters for these full scale fabric filterfacilities.5.3 Dust types vary greatly; therefore, the results obtainedusing the standard dust should not be extrapolated to other dusttypes
31、.6. Interferences6.1 Any variations in the test conditions or test apparatusthat may alter the physical properties of the dispersed test dustparticles may affect the precision of the test results.6.1.1 These properties include static charge, cohesion, ef-fective particle size, or any other property
32、that affects theability of the dust particles to actually reach the surface of thetest specimen or that affects the interaction between the dustparticles and the filtration surface during the filtration or pulsecleaning process.6.1.2 The test dust is known to have minor differences inparticle size f
33、rom shipment to shipment and lot number to lotnumber. It is not fully understood what impact, if any, thesedeviations have on the test results. With each new shipmentand every three months thereafter, the dust particle size shouldbe characterized using the handling, preparation, and testingprocedure
34、s specified in this test method. In addition the impactof the dust on differential pressure and weight gain values of areference fabric should be established and testing of the dustand reference fabric should be conducted quarterly thereafter toallow for comparisons with the established values.6.1.3
35、 Inadequate dispersion of the test dust may affect theprecision of test results. Any surface with which the dustcontacts after it leaves the feeder should be made in strictaccordance with the specification. The use of alternate mate-rials for internal surfaces of the raw and clean gas duct maycause
36、the charge on the dust particles to be alteredtriboelectrically, which may affect the results.D6830 02 (2016)2TABLE1TestSpecificationsConstantParameterNominalValueAcceptableBiasAAcceptablePrecisionBInstrumentFrequencyTestDustParticleSizePercentag(PuralNF)50%2.5m(Avg.3runs)+40%10%(Avg.3runs)0.0001gFi

44、 thetest is conducted is known to have an effect on the test results.As there are no quantitative relationship that have beenestablished that would allow the correction of test results forvariations in these parameters, it is recommended that the testbe conducted in a conditioned room with a relativ
45、e humiditybetween 40 and 65 % and at a temperature between 23 and27C (73.4 to 80.6F). In the absence of a conditioned room,the relative humidity and temperature should be as tightlycontrolled as possible and their levels recorded throughout thetest.7. Apparatus7.1 General DescriptionThe test apparat
46、us consists of abrush-type dust feeder that disperses dust into a verticalrectangular duct (raw gas channel). The dust feed is continu-ously measured and recorded via an electronic scale locatedbeneath the dust feed mechanism. A radioactive Polonium-210alpha source is used to neutralize the dust ele
47、ctrically before itsentry into the raw gas channel. An optical photo sensormonitors the concentration of the inlet dust and ensures that thedust flow is consistent throughout the test.Aportion of the dustladen raw gas flow is extracted from the raw gas channelthrough the test specimen, which is moun
48、ted vertically at theentrance to a horizontal duct (clean gas channel). Two vacuumpumps maintain gas flow through the raw gas and clean gaschannels. The flow rates, and thus the filtration velocity (G/C)are kept constant using mass flow controllers. High efficiencyfilters are installed upstream of t
49、he flow controllers and pumpsto prevent contamination or damage caused by the dust. Thetest specimen is cleaned periodically by pulsing with com-pressed air. The cleaning system consists of a compressed airtank, a quick action diaphragm valve, and a blow tube withnozzle facing the downstream side of the test specimen. Thedust that penetrates the test specimen is captured on a highefficiency filter. The pressure drop across the test specimen ismeasured and recorded every three seconds throughout the test.Fig. 1 provides a sch
