Model: Expedition-I

Sampling Methods

ASTM E2515 was used in collecting particulate samples. The dilution tunnel is 12 inches

in diameter. All sampling conditions per ASTM E2515 were followed. No alternate

procedures were used and no sampling intervals fell outside of proportional rates of +/-

10%.

All sample recovery and analysis procedures followed ASTM E2515 procedures. At the

end of each test run, filters, O-Rings and probes were removed from their housings,

dessicated for a minimum of 24 hours, and then weighed at 6 hour intervals to a

constant weight per ASTM E2515-11 Section 10.

Calibration procedures and results were conducted per EPA Method 28R, ASTM E2515-

11 and ASTM E2780. Test method quality control procedures (leak checks, volume meter

checks, stratification checks, proportionality results) followed the procedures outlined.

Upon completion of testing, the appliance was secured with metal strapping and the seal

below was applied, the appliance was then returned to the manufacturer's location at: 352

Mountain House Road, Halifax, PA 17032, for archival.
