• Abstract:
  This report documents proven methods of collection and analysis for acid gases in fire tests conducted at the FAA Technical Center. It focuses on methods of collection and analysis requiring trapping hot acid gases at the sampling point and avoiding errors due to sample line losses. The sampling system, collection tubes and procedures are described in this report. Various ion chromatography methods are described which separate and quantify the solution concentration of the anions corresponding to the gases HF, HCl, HBr, HI, HCN, H2S, HIO3, H3PO4, NOx and SOx in complex combustion gas matrices. The ion chromatography methods include the separator columns, suppressor columns, eluents, detectors and autosamplers. The fluoride ion selective electrode method is also evaluated.
