POLYTESTS Services inc. SFBA EMISSIONS AND EFFICIENCY TESTING LABORATORY OPERATING PROCEDURE INTRODUCTION This document provides a step-by-step guide for the technician conducting tests to EPA standard requirements. Procedures outlined here, when followed, will result in tests in conformance with EPA Methods 28R, ASTME2780, ASTME2515, ASTM E2618, Method 28WHH, Method 28 PTS, Method ALT-125, ASMTE 3053, ALT-134, ASTME2779 The primary measurements to be made are particulate emissions rates.
POLYTESTS Services inc. SFBA EMISSIONS AND EFFICIENCY TESTING LABORATORY OPERATING PROCEDURE APPLIANCE INSPECTION AND SET-UP INCOMING INSPECTION Check for completeness of unit including parts, accessories, installation and operating instructions, drawings and specifications etc. Note any discrepancies or missing parts or information. Check for shipping damage.

POLYTESTS Services inc. SFBA EMISSIONS AND EFFICIENCY TESTING LABORATORY OPERATING PROCEDURE Unit is to be placed on scale for testing. Prior to proceeding with verification process, scale should be turned on and allowed to warm up for one (1) hour minimum. Zero scale and check calibration with standard weights.
POLYTESTS Services inc. SFBA EMISSIONS AND EFFICIENCY TESTING LABORATORY OPERATING PROCEDURE SAMPLING SYSTEM – SET-UP GAS ANALYSIS Instruments should be turned on and allowed to warm up for one (1) hour minimum. Calibrate analyzers as follows: NOTE: Prior to proceeding with calibration, make sure to use NIST traceable calibration gas bottles.
