Abstract
A automated system includes a set of probes used to conduct gas flow measurement and sample gas collection. A mobile unit transports the automated gas measurement system to the test facility, and the devices are easily and quickly assembled for testing at standard ports located around a smoke stack or exhaust duct. Two or four probes automatically and simultaneously perform leak checks, calibrations, and purging. At each of the traverse points to be tested, stepping motors provide precise automatic positioning with commands from programmable logic controllers interfacing with a computer located in the mobile unit. Measurement data is collected and sample analysis is performed automatically to generate a certification report in approximately one-third the time presently required.
