Section 7:27B-1.12 - Analysis
(a) Record the data required on the laboratory report form (see Appendix 2 for recommended report form). Handle each sample as follows:
1. Transfer the filter and any loose particles from the glass holder (D[2]) * to a tared weighing dish, dry and desiccate to a constant weight (as in preparation). Report results to nearest 0.1 mg.

* See Appendix 1.

2. Wash the glass holder (D[2]) * (for filter) with acetone and add to the acetone wash sample bottle (7:27B-1.11(e) ) .
3. Measure the volume of water in the impingers to the nearest 1.0 ml. and record.
4. Measure the volume of the acetone wash (7:27B-1.11(e) ) in ml., then evaporate to dryness at 70 degrees Fahrenheit and one atmosphere in a tared beaker, heat to 220-230 degrees Fahrenheit, desiccate at room temperature and weigh to a constant weight. After adjusting for the blank, the results are reported to the nearest 0.1 mg.
5. Weigh the drying tube to the nearest gram after removing the seals and record the weight. Each gram of increased weight equals one ml. of volume equivalent of water. This volume plus the volume collected in the impingers (7:27B-1.11(d) ) represents the total moisture in the gas sampled and is used to determine the per cent moisture in the stack gas.
6. The total weight of particles collected is the sum of the weights of particles as determined in paragraphs 1 and 4 of this subsection.
(b) Rules for a liquid fuel are:
1. Determine the higher heating value (BTU per pound) by ASTM Standard D240 (Reference 7).
2. Determine the sulfur content (per cent by weight) by ASTM Standard D1552 (Reference 8).
3. Determine the viscosity (Saybolt Universal Seconds at 100 degrees Fahrenheit) by ASTM Standard D88 (Reference 9).
(c) Rules for a solid fuel are:
1. Determine the higher heating value (BTU per pound) by ASTM Standard D271 (Reference 10).
2. Determine the sulfur content (per cent by weight) by ASTM Standard D271 (Reference 10).
