(a) Component requirements. We recommend that you use an analyzer that meets the specifications in §1065.205. Note that your system must meet the linearity verification in §1065.307 with a humidity generator meeting the requirements of §1065.750(a)(6).
(b) Measurement principles. Use appropriate analytical procedures for interpretation of infrared spectra. For example, EPA Test Method 320 (see §1065.266(b)) and ASTM D6348 (incorporated by reference, see §1065.1010) are considered valid methods for spectral interpretation. You must use heated analyzers that maintain all surfaces that are exposed to emissions at a temperature of (110 to 202) °C.
(c) Instrument types. You may use any of the following analyzers to measure H 2 O:
(1) Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analyzer.
(2) Laser infrared analyzer. Examples of laser infrared analyzers are pulsed-mode high-resolution narrow band mid-infrared analyzers and modulated continuous wave high-resolution narrow band near or mid-infrared analyzers.
(d) Interference verification. Certain compounds can interfere with FTIR and laser infrared analyzers by causing a response similar to water. Perform interference verification for the following interference species:
(1) Perform CO 2 interference verification for FTIR analyzers using the procedures of §1065.357. Use good engineering judgment to determine other interference species for FTIR analyzers when performing interference verification. Consider at least CO, NO, C 2 H 4 , and C 7 H 8 . Perform interference verifications using the procedures of §1065.357, replacing occurances of CO 2 with each targeted interference species. Determine interference species under this paragraph (d)(1) that are appropriate for each H 2 O infrared absorption band, or you may identify the interference species based on the instrument manufacturer's recommendations.
(2) Perform interference verification for laser infrared analyzers using the procedures of §1065.375. Use good engineering judgment to determine interference species for laser infrared analyzers. Note that interference species are dependent on the H 2 O infrared absorption band chosen by the instrument manufacturer. For each analyzer determine the H 2 O infrared absorption band. Determine interference species under this paragraph (d)(2) that are appropriate for each H 2 O infrared absorption band, or you may identify the interference species based on the instrument manufacturer's recommendations.
