INFORMATION LOG
II.B(1) TEST STANDARD
On November 27
stoves, the test was conducted in accordance with WK47329-14 - Standard Test Method
for Determining Particulate Matter Emissions from Wood Heaters using beech
Cordwood Test Fuel. The fuel used for the test run was beech cordwood.
The applicable EPA regulatory limits are:
Step 1 – 2015 – 4.50 grams per hour.
Step 2 – 2020 – 2.50 grams per hour.
II.B(2) DEVIATION FROM STANDARD METHOD
The following were modified from initial version of the standards utilized for this test program as
per EPA's letter of October 12th 2017 reproduced in appendix I to this report:
Changes to ASTM WK47329-14 are:
1. The end of test criterion is defined when the weight scale indicates the remaining weight
of the test fuel as 0.0 lbs or less for at least 30 seconds.
2. Coal bed conditions prior to loading test fuel : The coal bed should be a level plane
without valleys or ridges for all test runs in the high fire, low and medium burn rate
categories.
Changes to ASTM E2515-11 must be as followed:
1- The filter temperature must be maintained between 80 and 90 Degrees F during testing.
2- Filters must be weighed in pairs to reduce weighing error propagation.
3- Sample filters must be Pall TX-40 or equivalent Teflon coated glass fiber, and either 47
mm, 90mm, 100mm of 110mm in diameter.
4- Only one point is allowed outside the +/- 10% proportionality range per test run.
