Method Overview

• At least 3 sampling runs
• Runs should be between 3 to 8 hours long
• Each run should be covering one complete production cycle.
  • Unless product cycle is longer than 8 hours
• This procedure is applicable for determining the input of volatile organic compounds (VOC). It is intended to be used as a segment in the development of liquid/gas protocols for determining VOC capture efficiency (CE) for surface coating and printing operations.

Target Compounds

• Total VOC

Performance Tips

• A sample of each coating is distilled to separate the VOC fraction.
• Distilled fraction analyzed using a flame ionization detector

Shipping

• Samples may qualify to be shipped as a hazardous material. Please call for IATA codes if you need them.

Applications

• The most useful data are determining the response factor of a given feed stream on an FIA (Total Hydrocarbon Analyzer).
• Direct conversion factors, from propane to feed stream, can be determined
  • Units = lb Feed Stream per lb Propane (or Methane)

Accreditation

• No, please contact us if you are interested!
