cs is the concentration of particulate matter, g/dsm
Qsd is the volumetric flow rate, dscm/hr
A is the zero production rate correction = 227 g/hr for container glass, pressed and blown (soda-lime and lead) glass, and pressed and blown (other than borosilicate, soda-lime and lead) glass
= 454 g/hr for pressed and blown (borosilicate) glass, wool fiberglass, and flat glass
P is the glass production rate, kg/hr
NR 440.46(7)(d)2.2. Method 5 shall be used to determine the particulate matter concentration (cs) and volumetric flow rate (Qsd) of the effluent gas. The sampling time and sample volume for each run shall be at least 60 minutes and 0.90 dscm (31.8 dscf). The probe and filter holder heating system may be set to provide a gas temperature no greater than 177±14°C (350±25°F), except under the conditions specified in sub. (4) (e). NR 440.46(7)(d)3.3. Direct measurement or material balance using good engineering practice shall be used to determine the amount of glass pulled during the performance test. The rate of glass produced is defined as the weight of glass pulled from the affected facility during the performance test divided by the number of hours taken to perform the performance test.

NR 440.47(1)(a)(a) The provisions of this section apply to each affected facility at any grain terminal elevator or any grain storage elevator, except as provided under sub. (5) (b). The affected facilities are each truck unloading station, truck loading station, barge and ship unloading station, barge and ship loading station, railcar loading station, railcar unloading station, grain dryer and all grain handling operations. NR 440.47(1)(b)(b) Any facility under par. (a) which commences construction, modification or reconstruction after August 3, 1978 is subject to the requirements of this section. NR 440.47(2)(2) Definitions. As used in this section, terms not defined in this subsection have the meanings given in s. NR 440.02. NR 440.47(2)(a)(a) “Capture system” means the equipment such as sheds, hoods, ducts, fans, dampers, etc. used to collect particulate matter generated by an affected facility at a grain elevator. NR 440.47(2)(b)(b) “Column dryer” means any equipment used to reduce the moisture content of grain in which the grain flows from the top to the bottom in one or more continuous packed columns between 2 perforated metal sheets. NR 440.47(2)(c)(c) “Fugitive emission” means the particulate matter which is not collected by a capture system and is released directly into the atmosphere from an affected facility at a grain elevator. NR 440.47(2)(d)(d) “Grain” means corn, wheat, sorghum, rice, rye, oats, barley and soybeans. NR 440.47(2)(e)(e) “Grain elevator” means any plant or installation at which grain is unloaded, handled, cleaned, dried, stored or loaded. NR 440.47(2)(f)(f) “Grain handling operations” include bucket elevators or legs (excluding legs used to unload barges or ships), scale hoppers and surge bins (garners), turn heads, scalpers, cleaners, trippers, and the headhouse and other such structures. NR 440.47(2)(g)(g) “Grain loading station” means that portion of a grain elevator where the grain is transferred from the elevator to a truck, railcar, barge or ship. NR 440.47(2)(h)(h) “Grain storage elevator” means any grain elevator located at any wheat flour mill, wet corn mill, dry corn mill (human consumption), rice mill or soybean oil extraction plant which has a permanent grain storage capacity of 35,200 m3 (ca. 1 million bushels). NR 440.47(2)(i)(i) “Grain terminal elevator” means any grain elevator which has a permanent storage capacity of more than 88,100 m3 (ca. 2.5 million U.S. bushels), except those located at animal food manufacturers, pet food manufacturers, cereal manufacturers, breweries and livestock feedlots. NR 440.47(2)(j)(j) “Grain unloading station” means that portion of a grain elevator where the grain is transferred from a truck, railcar, barge or ship to a receiving hopper. NR 440.47(2)(k)(k) “Permanent storage capacity” means grain storage capacity which is inside a building, bin or silo. NR 440.47(2)(L)(L) “Process emission” means the particulate matter which is collected by a capture system. NR 440.47(2)(m)(m) “Rack dryer” means any equipment used to reduce the moisture content of grain in which the grain flows from the top to the bottom in a cascading flow around rows of baffles or racks. NR 440.47(2)(o)(o) “Unloading leg” means a device which includes a bucket-type elevator which is used to remove grain from a barge or ship.
