ANSI N13.1-2011
Design Considerations

ANSI N13.1-2011 requires that sampling systems satisfy the following design criteria; (1) representative particles from the stack flow must be drawn into the sampling probe, (2) particle losses on the inner surfaces of the probe and from the probe outlet through the sample transport line to the particulate sampler or monitor must be minimized, and (3) the particulate sample must be accurately analyzed as required by the US regulations, e.g., for record-keeping and/or alarm annunciation.

Stack Sampling Location Qualification Testing
The primary consideration in stack sampling is to have a well-mixed, representative sample entering the sample probe. This insures that the concentrations of particulates exiting the stack are accurately represented by the sample being extracted. HI-Q has the expertise and instrumentation needed to perform the qualification testing required by ANSI N13.1-2011 to determine whether the stack air is well mixed at the sample location.

Stack Sampling System Design

HI-Q has an established reputation for delivering high quality sampling systems and equipment for the environmental and nuclear industries. Once it has been established that the sampling location is well-mixed, HI-Q can recommend the appropriate sample probe based on the stack and sample flow rates. HI-Q has the expertise to recommend either multi-point sample probes or a shrouded probe depending on the Customer’s needs. From the sample probes to the air sampler, HI-Q can deliver the sample system including; (1) selection of the appropriate size of tubing to minimize particle losses, (2) design of a manifold system for multi-point sample probes, (3) provide installation drawings for the sample probe assembly, and (4) perform analysis required to verify that the particle loss from the sampling location to the sampler is less than 50%. HI-Q can meet all of the current industry standards required for our sampling systems.

Custom Air Sampler Design

For applications that do not fit HI-Q’s standard product line of air samplers, HI-Q can design an air sampler to a Customer provided design specification. In many cases, the custom sampler will be a modification of HI-Q’s standard product. If special features are required, HI-Q can propose a design that will meet the need.

Integration of Radiation Detectors and Air Sampling Systems

HI-Q has provided complete radiation monitoring systems with real-time detection capability. HI-Q has the expertise to  work with radiation detector manufacturers to provide the sample flow control and pumping system for any airborne monitoring application.
