NR 440.59(5)(a)2.2. If the final product is saturated felt or smooth-surfaced roll roofing, the tests shall be conducted while 6.8-kg (15-lb) felt is being produced.
NR 440.59(5)(a)3.3. If the final product is fiberglass shingle, the test shall be conducted while a nominal 100-kg (220-lb) shingle is being produced.
NR 440.59(5)(b)(b) In conducting the performance tests required in s. NR 440.08, the owner or operator shall use as reference methods and procedures the test methods in Appendix A of 40 CFR part 60, incorporated by reference in s. NR 440.17, or other methods and procedures as specified in this subsection, except as provided in s. NR 440.08 (2).
NR 440.59(5)(c)(c) The owner or operator shall determine compliance with the particulate matter standards in sub. (3) as follows:
NR 440.59(5)(c)1.1. The emission rate (E) of particulate matter shall be computed for each run using the following equation:
where:
E is the emission rate of particulate matter, kg/Mg (lb/ton)
cs is the concentration of particulate matter, g/dscm (gr/dscf)
Qsd is the volumetric flow rate of effluent gas, dscm/hr (dscf/hr)
P is the asphalt roofing production rate or asphalt charging rate, Mg/hr (ton/hr)
K is the conversion factor, 1000 g/kg (7000 gr/lb)
NR 440.59(5)(c)2.2. Method 5A shall be used to determine the particulate matter concentration (cs) and volumetric flow rate (Qsd) of the effluent gas. For a saturator, the sampling time and sample volume for each run shall be at least 120 minutes and 3.00 dscm (106 dscf), and for the blowing still, at least 90 minutes or the duration of the coating blow or non-coating blow, whichever is greater, and 2.25 dscm (79.4 dscf).
NR 440.59(5)(c)3.3. For the saturator, the asphalt roofing production rate (P) for each run shall be determined as follows: The amount of asphalt roofing produced on the shingle or saturated felt process lines shall be obtained by direct measurement. The asphalt roofing production rate is the amount produced divided by the time taken for the run.
NR 440.59(5)(c)4.4. For the blowing still, the asphalt charging rate (P) shall be computed for each run using the following equation:
where:
P is the asphalt charging rate to blowing still, Mg/hr (ton/hr)
V is the volume of asphalt charged, m3 (ft3)
d is the density of asphalt, kg/m3 (lb/ft3)
K’ is the conversion factor, 1000 kg/Mg (2000 lb/ton)
θ here is the duration of test run, hr
NR 440.59(5)(c)4.a.a. The volume (V) of asphalt charged shall be measured by any means accurate to within 10%.
NR 440.59(5)(c)4.b.b. The density (d) of the asphalt shall be computed using the following equation:
=
where:
d is the density of the asphalt, kg/m3 (lb/ft3)
K1 is 1056.1 kg/m3 for metric units and 64.70 lb/ft3 for English units
K2 is 0.6176 kg/(m3 °C) for metric units and 0.0694 lb/(ft3 °F) for English units
Ti is the temperature at the start of the blow, °C (°F)
NR 440.59(5)(c)5.5. Method 9 and the procedures in s. NR 440.11 shall be used to determine opacity.
