ISO 25139 pdf download Stationary source emissions — Manual method for the determination of the methane concentration using gas chromatography
This lnternational Standard specifies a manual method for the determination of the concentration of methaneemissions from stationary sources.
This lnternational Standard specifies an independent method of measurement,which is validated for massconcentrations up to 1 500 mg/m3.
NOTE 1An independent method of measurement is used for such purposes as calibration or validation of permanenthinstalled measuring systems
NOTE 2An “independent method of measurement” is termed “standard reference method (SRM)” in EN 141815)

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
reference gas
(air quality> gas of known, reliable and stable composition
NOTEIn the context of this lnternational Standard, a reference gas is used to calibrate the gas chromatograph.
3.2
interferent
interfering substance
(air quality) substance present in the air mass under investigation, other than the measurand, that affects theresponse ISO 9169:2006,2.1.12]
3.3
mass concentration
stationary source emissions concentration of a substance in an emitted waste gas expressed as mass per volume
NOTE Mass concentration is often expressed in milligrams per cubic metre.

3.4
uncertainty (of measurement)
parameter, associated with the result of a measurement, that characterizes the dispersion of the values that could reasonably be attributed to the measurand

3.5
standard uncertainty
uncertainty of the result of a measurement expressed as a standard deviation

5 Principle The sample gas is extracted from the waste gas duct via a sampling system and pumped into a gas-sampling bag or canister. A portion of the sample is taken off from the gas-sampling bag or canister and introduced into a gas chromatographic system. After separation on a packed or capillary column, methane is determined by means of a flame ionization detector.
