If the gas stream sampled does not comprise the entire stream from the
process (e.g., samples taken from one of several stacks or from one side of a
split duct), process and fuel data for the full process cannot be used direct-
ly and should not be coded on Card B. Specifically, Fields B04 through B07,
BO9, B10, B16, and B17 cannot be coded when the process or fue] data do not
correspond directly to the stream sampled. Fields for which these data do
exist should be asterisked, and the data (with units) and explanatory comments
should be entered on Card H.

BO1 - Source Classification Code (SCC)

Columns 9-16
Numeric
REQUIRED FIELD
Appendix A

The SCC identifies the type of combustion unit or other
process being tested. The code (see Appendix A) is made
up of eight digits divided into four levels:

I - one digit

II - two digits
III - three digits
IV - two digits

The complete specific SCC must be entered in columns 9
through 16. Codes ending in 99, Other/Not Classified, are
only permitted if the process is described fully in com-
ments. The SCC assigned can be checked against the SCC in
the NEDS Point Source Report, if available

Because this important field is used for selection of
source types in many SOTDAT applications, it is a required
field on Card Bl. It must be asterisked and described
fully on Card H if appropriate SCC(s) for the process
cannot be found. Contact the SOTDAT Project Officer with
any questions regarding the applicability of a particular
SCC or the need for a new SCC. New SCC's can only be
assigned by the Nationa? Air Data Branch

Sometimes a single SCC will not adequately describe the
tested process or processes. In such cases, Card B will
accommodate up to three SCC's, but multiple SCC's are
legitimate only if they all describe the process operation
at the time of the test. Enter the dominant SCC first,
then lesser ones. As discussed earlier, other possible
SCC's may be entered in comments

BO2 - Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code

Columns 17-20
Numeric

The four-digit SIC Code (used with the IPP Process Code)
is important as a second identifier of the process

tested. Insofar as possible, the SIC Code entered should
reflect the specific process, not the overall industry or
plant type. The Standard Industrial Classification Manual
(see References, Subsection 4.4) is the preferred source
of the SIC Code. The NEDS Point Source Record can serve

PREFACE

This document supersedes the original Source Test Data System (SOTDAT)
Data Coding Instructions (issued in August 1973) and SOTDAT-related portions
of the Aerometric and Emissions Reporting System (AEROS) User's Manual on the
Source Test Data Form, Particle Size Form, and Trace Element Analysis Form
(AEROS Volume II, Chapters 2.3 and 3.3). The data forms, coding instructions,
and other material in this document are based on substantial modifications
made to SOTDAT in 1978 and render previous documentation and forms obsolete

Regular users of the SOTDAT Coding Manual are asked to register with the
following U.S. Environmental Protection Agency office to ensure that they are
kept current with changes to the manual

SECTION 5
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

The following subsections present SOTDAT coding conventions and other
information necessary to coders. Coders should read them carefully before
beginning coding and use them as references whenever questions arise

5.1 DEFINITIONS

The following definitions will aid in the interpretation of these in-
structions.

CARD--an 80-column computer punch card, represented on the coding form by
a horizontal row of boxes.

COLUMN--one of the 80 vertical positions on a. punch card, represented on
the coding form by a single box with the column number above it.

FIELD--a column or group of columns that is intended to contain exactly
one data item, identified on the coding form by vertical lines extending
above the column numbers, with the name of the field printed between the
lines. Fields or groups of closely related fields on each card have
unique numbers by which they are identified for reference purposes (e.g.,
the run date is Field C02 for Card C, Field 02).

LEFT-JUSTIFIED--placement of the leftmost character of the data item in
the leftmost column of the field; the data item must not be preceded by
spaces (blank columns).

Correct Incorrect

(Tle[Rle fara

RIGHT-JUSTIFIED--placement of the rightmost digit of the data item in the
rightmost column of the field; the data item must not be followed by
spaces (blank columns)

G16 - Emissions per SCC Unit (1b/SCC unit)

Column 59-69 Enter an emission factor for the trace element on each
Numeric Card G, if available, in pounds per SCC unit (for the
On Decimal primary SCC coded in B01). Emission factors are generally

only meaningful for the total test result for a pollutant,
for particle size fractions, or for an average of several
test results and therefore need only be coded when TO,
@1-12, or AV has been entered in Field G04 (sample loca-
tion in train).

G17 - Emissions per Process Unit (other than 1b/SCC unit)

Columns 70-79 If an emission factor for the trace element shown on a
Numeric given card is not available in pounds per SCC unit, enter
On Decimal the factor here (i.e., use of G16 is preferred) and code

the appropriate units in G18. Emission factors are gen-
erally only meaningful for the total test result for a
pollutant, for particle size fractions, or for an average
of several total test results and therefore need only be
coded when 10, §1-12, or AV has been entered in Field G04
(sample location in test)

G18 - Process Unit for Emission Factor

Column 80 Enter the code below for the units in which the emission

Numeric factor was reported in G17. Since emissions per SCC units
are to be entered in G16, process units allowed here
include: non-SCC process units reported in Field B05 and
entered in comments and other units

Q - 1b/non-SCC process unit indicated in B05

1 - kg/non-SCC process unit in BOS

2 - g/non-SCC process unit in BOS

3 - 1b/10° Btu by F-Factor; (specify type of F-Factor
method in comment on Card H)

4 - 1b/10" Btu by other method (specify in comment)

5 - other emission factor units (specify in comment)

6.3 PARTICLE SIZE TESTS

Follow directions under 6.1, Standard Tests, for Form Control, Card A
through Card F, and Card H. To enter actual results of particle sizing and
information on particle sizing instrumentation and techniques, follow direc-
tions below for Card J through Card N. Do not use Card G for particle size
tests except to enter a total particulate result from the sizing train or
results of trace element analysis on particle size fractions. (See Subsection
6.4, Combined Tests. )

This section of SOTDAT is oriented toward impactor-type particle sizing
devices because most of the. particle size data submitted to SOTDAT are expec-
ted to be from impactor tests. Many references to impactors will logically

It is recommended that coding not be put off until a batch of test reports .can
be coded, as this practice delays the entry into SOTDAT and introduces the
possibility of loss of followup

Report/Test Evaluation

The first step in SOTDAT coding is the evaluation of the test and the
report document for suitability for SOTDAT coding. The report should meet
SOTDAT requirements for completeness, especially with regard to the sampling,
analysis, and control-related criteria discussed in Subsection 5.3. The
quality of the test must be ascertained, and the test results must be veri-
fied. Approval of a test report by EPA personnel is sufficient verification
jn the case of EPA-contracted tests. In the absence of EPA verification, the
coder should attempt to check the reasonableness of the results and their
suitability for their inclusion in SOTDAT. Tests of dubious quality and those
that do not meet SOTDAT suitability criteria or do not contain sufficient data
are rejected at this step. Questions on these items should be addressed to
NADB (see Subsection 2.5)

Startup for Coding

The most. crucial and often the most time-consuming part of the coding
effort is the coding of the first test run of a series. This involves locat~-
ing all data items in the test report, specifying any conversion or calcula-
tion routines for obtaining SOTDAT-compatible data, and any necessary consult-
ing with source test personnel, plant personnel, or others. Information
common to all test runs can be coded on a master SOTDAT Data Form which can
then be copied to produce a standardized form to which data from individual
runs can be added. It is recommended that the first fully coded form, compu-
tation routines, and other details be reviewed by the engineer in charge of
the source test (or other senior technical person) at this point. This check
js especially desirable if the coder has little technical knowledge of source
testing.

Completion of Coding and Final Verification

Once any problems with the first coded form are resolved, coding of
additional test results and related data should be relatively straightforward.
The coder should review the full set of coded forms and check them against the
test report to assure that all test runs have been coded and the data are
properly organized

4.3 SOTDAT CODING LOG

It is recommended that coders use the SOTDAT Coding Log (Figure 11) for
basic recordkeeping. The first two columns and the last two columns should be
filled out once for each test report. Columns between the double lines should
be filled out for each SOTDAT Form coded. The Test Description should include
details such as parameters (pollutants) tested, test location (sampling site),
and whether the pollutant stream was controlled or uncontrolled. Comments
should include any questions, problems, or other special aspects of the coding
effort.

Left- justify nations used by plant personnel (e.g., Duct 3, North ESP)

and/or documented in the test report. Include location
with respect to contro] devices, splitting or convergence
of ducts, sedimentation in the duct, or other essential
information.

Card F - Control Devices

Card F can be used to provide information on as many as five control
devices in the sampled gas stream. Code the first device after the process on
Card Fl and list the following devices in order. The last control device in
the stream should be coded last. Coding of the control devices in the proper
Sequence is essential because this is the only indication of their actual
order.

Card F is designed mainly for single gas streams. If multiple converging
or diverging streams have multiple control devices in parallel, all devices
should be listed as above, and the actual duct and contro] device configura
tion indicated in comments (e.g., "flow split into two parallel ESPs"). For
SOTDAT purposes, devices upstream from the sampling site are more important
than those coming later, and efforts should be concentrated on information for
the upstream devices. If more than five devices exist, information on down-
stream devices may be entered in comments on Card H

FO01 - Control Device Code

Columns 9-11 Enter the three-digit NEDS Control Equipment Identifica-

Numeric tion Code (following) for control devices, from upstream

REQUIRED FIELO to downstream (see Card F discussion). The NEDS Point
Source Report can be used for verification and to obtain
control efficiencies not specified in the test report, if
the Point Source Report and test report agree in other
respects.

Enter asterisks and describe in comments any devices for

which codes do not exist. Use the medium-efficiency code
if an actual efficiency cannot be determined. This field
jis required. If the entire stream is uncontrolled, a code

of 900 should be entered in field F01, and a D in field
17.

For particulate control devices, the following efficiency
ranges should be used:

Any information critical to the use or interpretation of the data being
coded should appear in comments. Nonessential, gratuitous, or redundant
information should be strictly avoided (e.g., "All testing by EPA methods,"
"test performed by "). Examples of desirable comments are included in
other discussions in this section and in field coding instructions. Some
Proper comments concern peculiarities of the process and sampling method
(changes, malfunctions, or other interruptions during testing); process or
equipment names, specifications, or other necessary detailed descriptions; any
estimated, averaged, assumed, or otherwise unmeasured values reported; form
numbers for concurrent tests; and items uncodable because of missing codes,
inadequate space, etc

5.12 USE OF NEDS INFORMATION

It is recommended that the NEDS Point Source Listing be obtained for each
plant to be coded, preferably before the testing begins (see Subsection 4.1,
Test Planning). This is necessary to determine the plant and point identifi-
cation numbers (Fields A04, AOS). The Point Source Listing also helps in the
verification of (but not as an original source of) a number of parameters that
must be obtained from the source test report. The SCC, SIC, and IPP codes;
stack, parameters; control device identifications and efficiencies; operating
rates; and fuel characteristics are all on the Point Source Report. It is
advisable to compare the date of the last update of the Point Source Listing
with the date of the source test report when discrepancies occur in the data

Plants outside the United States and most plants whose total annual
emissions are less than 100 tons are not in NEDS

5.13 UNAVAILABLE/UNOBTAINED DATA AND FOLLOWUP

As a rule, it will be impossible to fill out every item on the SOTDAT
Data Form. Required data items have been designated as a guide for the coder
in setting priorities when any items are not available. Proper test planning
and the use of a Field Data Sheet (see Subsection 4.1) will help minimize the
amount of data not obtained prior to coding. At some point, however, the
coder will have to examine the fields for which data are not available in the
test report or any other immediately available document and determine possible
sources of these data and the effort that may be entailed in obtaining them.
The coder also must evaluate the importance to SOTDAT of data (other than the
required fields) that may be available through some followup effort and must
decide whether to attempt to obtain the missing information. Typical sources
might include office, engineering, or operations personnel at the tested plant
or personnel involved in the source test or lab analysis. Extensive followup
efforts or involvement of noncoding personnel to obtain a few pieces of data
should be avoided, but a few well-placed telephone calls could make a differ-
ence in the acceptability or usefulness of a coded test

10. The location of the preprinted decimal on the form, insufficient
spaces provided, or other problems (e.g., negative values or values
below detection limits) may prevent correct entry of a data item in
the assigned field. Often, conversion of the data to other permis-
sible units will solve the problem, but sometimes proper entry may
be impossible. In such cases, fill the field with asterisks and
enter the field number and data item as comments on Card H or N
Negative signs (-), greater-than signs (>), and less-than signs (<)
may not be coded in data fields

* [Ke KDE

ll. Each Data Form should represent a single test run, not an average or
composite of several runs. If only average or composite data are
available, note this prominently in comments and indicate with a
code "AV" in Field G04

12. Use metric units throughout all fields, unless other units are
specifically allowed in unit codes. Check field names and instruc-
tions in this manual for proper units in individual cases

13. Throughout these instructions, standard conditions for measurement
of gases are 20°C and 760 mm mercury.

5.3 SUITABILITY OF TESTS FOR SOTDAT CODING

Before test reports are coded, they must be surveyed to verify their
conformance with SOTDAT standards and purposes. Basic data requirements must
be met, as discussed in Subsection 5.7. To be useful for the purposes in-
tended. the test reports should contain (1) data from tests made on uncon-
trolled emission sources, (2) data from tests made upstream from the contro]
device(s) with or without data from tests made downstream from control
device(s), or (3) data from tests made downstream from control devices with
substantial documentation of actual control device operation and efficiency.
The origina) purposes of tests and whether objectives were met are of no
concern to SOTDAT, nor are any determinations of compliance or noncompliance
with regulations that have been made based on the tests

The following is a list of specific kinds of tests that generally should
be excluded from SOTDAT

1. Research or experimental data that are inconsistent with emission
factor development: SOTDAT is not intended for storage of tests on
experimental operations such as lab-scale operations or pilot
plants, or for performance evaluations of experimental or develop-
mental sampling trains

2. Continuous monitoring: Results from uninterrupted pollutant concen-
tration readings obtained from permanently installed, in-stack
monitors generally need not be submitted by EPA groups or contrac-
tors under EPA Order 7600.2A. If such data-gathering programs are

5.9 PERFORMING OPERATIONS AND CONVERSIONS

Depending on calculation and report conventions used by the testing
organization, it may be necessary to perform various operations, calculations,
and unit conversions. Many SOTDAT data items may be recorded only in metric
units or only in one of a few eligible units. When this occurs, test report
figures may have to be converted to proper units. Because of the limited
space on the SOTDAT Data Form, it may also be necessary to convert test report
values to larger or smaller units to fit values in the fields (e.g., 1b/h may
be changed to 1b/min, grams to micrograms). The tables of conversion factors
in Appendix E are supplied to aid in this area

In some cases, it may be necessary to perform more complicated operations .
to obtain codable data. If required data values are not available in the test
report but can be calculated or estimated with some accuracy, such steps
should be taken. An example would be the conversion of gas values to dry
standard conditions. If possible, formulae and directions for likely opera-
tions are supplied in the coding instructions. Calculations of emission fac-
tors and other unrequired items need not be performed explicitly for SOTDAT
coding, but inclusion of such data in source test reports is encouraged

5.10 USE OF CODES

As a means of improving efficiency of data storage and maintaining re-
trievability of data items from SOTDAT, numerous lists of codes have been
assigned to valid entries for various fields. These codes, which may be
letters or numbers, are listed either directly with the field instructions or
jn an appendix, and an abbreviated list of commonly used codes is included
with the instructions. Every code-filled field is specified as such in the
instructions and by a heavy line below the column numbers on the Data Form.
(See example in Subsection 5.7.)

Only the codes listed (and asterisks) may be used for a given field. If
the correct code does not exist, the field should be filled with asterisks,
and the correct value should be entered in comments. If a frequently entered
data item does not have a listed code, the SOTDAT Project Officer should be
contacted. A code may have been assigned since manual publication; or one may
be assigned immediately or at some future date if a general need is apparent

5.11 USE OF COMMENTS

Information not amenable to entry in other specified fields should be
entered by comments. Up to 10 repetitions of Card H can be used for general
comments and comments related to specific data items on Cards A through G and
J through L. A comment related to a specific data field can also be indicated
on Card H. Card N has space for comments related to individual particle size
stage data entered on Cards M and N.

CODES”

for research purposes, they must be coordinated with NADB beforehand
to determine if the information will be useful for emission factor
purposes.

Compliance testing for enforcement purposes: Tests are often per-
formed by enforcement groups for the sole purpose of determining
whether a source complies with an emission regulation (go or no-go
tests). These test runs should not be reported to SOTDAT if they
may represent an unrealistically high level of control efficiency
(e.g., at peak plant performance) or if precontrol testing or con-
trol device operation data are not included

Tests conducted on sources deliberately or inadvertently operated
under unusual or atypical conditions: Test results are not appro-
priate for SOTDAT when the source operating conditions do not re-
flect the norma! process variations of everyday operating practice
Emission factor development requires knowledge of the normal range
of emission rates under typical variations in process operating
parameters. On the other hand, discrete test runs representative of
different operating conditions that are commonly a part of normal
source operation are appropriate for SOTDAT coding. Such process
variations include changes in the composition of process feedstocks
and/or process operating temperatures and pressures, changes to
alter product characteristics, and (in the case of a fuel combustion
source) use of varying amounts of different fuels that the source is
designed to consume. Source tests that represent conditions found
in actual operating practice variations must be submitted to SOTDAT
and identified by comments briefly describing the process operating
conditions.

Source tests performed on a conventional stationary source by an
obsolete or unrecognized test method: If the method used is not on
the list of method codes (see instructions for Field G03) and is a
satisfactorily evaluated technique that has been documented and is
used by EPA or its contractors, it should be referred to the NADB
(see Subsection 5.15). If possible, a code number will be assigned
immediately; otherwise the method should be noted in comments

Tests performed by an improper variation of a recognized test method
are not appropriate for SOTDAT. Any tests so performed are likely
to produce biased results that would be inappropriate for use in
developing an emission factor. When standard reference equipment is
used alongside an experimental train, as is often the case, code the
reference data

Source tests performed on mobile sources, such as the Federal Test
Procedures applied to emissions from highway vehicles: Source tests
included in SOTDAT shall pertain only to stationary sources

Source tests performed on fugitive emissions sources by novel test
methods that do not produce data amenable to coding on a SOTDAT
form: Generally, coding of such information in SOTDAT is possible
only for methods employing a temporary duct configuration to permit
the use of Conventional stack sampling equipment. Test results

. : = Clength) (width
Equivalent diameter = 2 fengeh oath

In other cases, the equivalent diameter is calculated by
the general formula below:

stack cross-section

Equivalent diameter = 4 stack pertmeter

Note that the stack diameter reported in the NEDS Point
Source Report is not necessarily the diameter of the duct
at the sampling location. In cases where the sampling
does take place at the stack, the NEDS Point Source Report
may be used to verify the reported value.

D06 - Stack/Duct Cross-Sectional Area (m2)

Columns 23-28
Numeric
On Decimal

Enter the inside cross-sectional area of the duct or stack
in square meters at the sampling location (point where the’
instrument or probe is inserted). This may be compared
with the stack diameter in the NEDS Point Source Report,
which may be for an entirely different location

If the effective area of the stack or duct is different
from the designed area (e.g., because of negative flow or
sediment buildup), enter the effective area here and note
the actual area and reason for difference in comments,
Card H.

007 - Stack Height (m)

Columns 29-32
Numeric
On Decimal

008 - Stack or Duct

Enter the vertical distance in meters above ground level
of the point of release to the atmosphere from the stack
associated with this gas stream. Leave blank if the stack
or duct does not vent directly to the ambient air. Use an
average for multiple release points. This item can be
verified by the NEDS Point Source Report

Angle with Vertical (degrees)

Columns 33-34
Numeric
Right Justify

Enter the angle in degrees that the stack or duct (longi-
tudinal axis) makes with the vertical at the sampling
port. (Enter 68 for a vertical duct, 9% for a horizontal
duct. )

DO9 - Stack/Duct Gas Temperature (°C)

Columns 35-38
Numeric
On Decimal

Enter the average temperature in degrees Celsius of the
gas in the stack or duct during the test. This can be
verified by the NEDS Point Source Report. Enter negative
temperatures in comments (Card H) and asterisk this field.

Required fields are indicated in the individual field instructions for
the respective test types (Subsections 6.1 through 4). They are also indi-
cated, to the extent possible, by heavy lines under the boxes to be coded
(Heavy lines directly under the column numbers, above the boxes, indicate
code-filled fields.) Where multiple cards are possible (e.g., Card G), re-
quired fields on the last card image are underlined. For example, fields AQl
through AQS are al] to be filled with NEDS codes; AQ1, A02 and A04 are also
required fields.

The SOTDAT Edit Program checks all required fields and rejects Data Forms
lacking one or more. If no data are available, if the requested item will not.
fit in the field, or if other problems make it impossible to fill in the
reguired data field properly, the field should be asterisked, and explanation
and or data value should be entered in comments. The Edit Program will not
eject ¢ Form with asterisks in a required field, but it will create a warning
messace.

Othe» edit and validation checks are used to check entered data against
reasonable ranges of individual data items and to make internal checks of
calculations involving multiple reported items. Comments should be used to
indicate reasons for any values that may be considered extremely high or low
and to eaplain any unusual calculations or assumptions made in arriving at
reported values. Such measures help to ensure the overall quality of SOTDAT
information.

5.8 DERIVATION OF DATA ITEMS

Most SCTDAT data fields are defined (to some extent) as to the kind of
data te be entered. For example, distinctions are often made between design
values and values encountered in actual operation or during a test run
Whenever there is doubt about whether an available data item matches that
called for, a clarifying comment should be entered on Card H

The source or derivation of data values that do not conform with the
coding instructions in some way should also be noted. It is particularly
important to include comments on any values that were estimated, assumed, or
calculated when an actual measured value is called for. When the only avail-
able value is a rough estimate, the field itself should be asterisked and the
value and details noted in comments. If the coder does not feel qualified to
make this judgment, a source test engineer or NADB should be consulted

Columns 22-23 Enter the two-digit NEDS Point Identification Number for

Alphanumeric the individual process within the plant or facility
tested. As discussed in AEROS Manual, Volume Il, 3.1.2,
multiple stacks and/or processes may be grouped into a
single NEDS point if they are similar. Multiple processes
discharging through one stack should have separate NEDS
point ID's if they are not similar. Thus, there may not
be a point ID representing only the process and effluent
stream (stack or duct) tested. If this is the case, the
field must be left blank, and process and sampling site
information on Cards B and E, along with any necessary
comments on Card H, must fully describe the tested loca-
tion.

Card B - Process Data

Card B can be used as many as three times to describe fully the process
that was tested. Specifically, the intent is to allow the reporting of proc-
esses involving multiple SCC's and/or multiple fuels burned at the time of the
test. Alternate fuels or possible process variations not reflected in source
operation during the test may be noted in comments, but they should not be
coded on Card B. Multiple Card B items should be coded in order of decreasing
importance or magnitude. Card H (comments) should be used freely to describe
the relationship of multiple Card B entries

For example, if the emission source is an industrial conical incinerator
charged with wood waste and smaller amounts of refuse and using additional
residual oi], Card Bl would include the primary SCC of 5-03-001-05 (conical
wood waste incinerator) with associated process and fuel parameters based on
the wood charge. Card 82 would include the secondary SCC of 5-03-001-04
(conical refuse incinerator) and process and fuel data on the refuse charge
Card B3 would include any available fuel data (B08 through B17) for the resid-
ual of].

more specific code, if this is the only significant result
for this trace element and there is no reason to suspect
that it does not accurately represent the stack gas con-
centration. (For example, if probe wash, main filter,
backup filter, and impinger were analyzed for trace ele-
ments but only the main filter analysis result was above
the detection limit of the method, the main filter result
should be coded under TO rather than MF.)

SECTION 2
SOTDAT BACKGROUND

The Environmental Protection Agency National Air Data Branch (NADB) is
responsible for collecting, analyzing, and storing emission information
Accurate source test data are required to permit accurate predictions of the
effects of various process characteristics on the kinds and amounts of air
pollutant emissions.

To achieve this objective, NADB has developed SOTDAT as one component of
the Aerometric and Emissions Reporting System (AEROS), which is a comprehen-
sive set of air pollution control data systems used in research and control
Programs of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Within AEROS,
SOTDAT provides a practical means for storage, retrieval, and analysis of
source test data and related information. These test data will be obtained
from reliable sources such as test reports from the EPA Emissions Measurement
Branch and other EPA-sponsored test programs, state and local air pollution
control agencies, contro] equipment manufacturers, engineering consultants,
and installations identified through information retrieved from the National
Emissions Data System (NEDS) point source file

Once source test runs have been coded and the coded forms and source test
report have been submitted to NADB, in-house personnel will carefully scruti-
nize them for accuracy, duplication of results, completeness, and so forth
The data will then be keypunched, verified, and stored in the SOTDAT System
for access by EPA and other users

2.1 PURPOSES AND USES OF SOTDAT

The information in SOTDAT is expected to be especially helpful to per-
sonnel in the following activities

Development _of Emission Factors

The primary purpose of SOTDAT is to make use of source test data in the
development and revision of air pollutant emission factors. Empirical models
can be used to predict emission factors and their characteristics for specific
kinds of sources, based on SOTDAT emission, process, and fuel parameters
reported from tests on such specific sources. These emission factors are
essential components of other AEROS systems such as the National Emissions
Data System (NEDS), in which they are used to estimate process emissions if
actual measurements are not available. They are published for use by EPA and
other groups in the Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors (AP-42)


Pollutants within SOTDAT are defined and described by a combination
of three codes: physical state, pollutant and analysis method. The first
two of these are required to describe pollutants controlled by control
devices on Card F; all three are used for test results on Card G. Appro-
priate codes for physical state and analysis method are in the individual
fiela instructions. This Appendix contains only the four-digit pollutant
codes for particulate ana gaseous test results.

Tne foliowing example should indicate how these identification codes
are to be usea for a test result. Suppose that during a source test run,
sulfur dioxiae is continuously sampled and analyzed by a coulometric in-
strument. Obviously, GO1, which indicates the physical state of the
pollutant, would be "0," since sulfur dioxide is a gas under all but the
most extreme sampling conditions. Under Group VI Compounds and Ions in
the gaseous portion of the following pollutant code list, one would select
code "2401" to code in G02, corresponding to sulfur dioxide. Since a
coulorietric analyzer-is used in this case, code "E" would be chosen for
G03. Therefore, the codes to be entered on the form in G01-G03 would
be “D2S01E."

The pollutant codes are broken down into a list of particulate and
gaseous pollutant codes. Each list is organized into several major and
minor categories wnich are defined by the chemical structure of the
pollutant. The following table of contents indicates on which pages these
categories can be found.

Note: For tests involvina mixed pollutant phase/state (e.9., porous
nolymer filters), either portion of the pollutant code list can be used,
as lone as it corresponds with the choice of physical state code (E or F).


appropriate units in G18. Emission factors are generally
only meaningful for the total test result for a pollutant,
for particle size fractions, or for averages of several
total test results, and therefore need only be coded when
TO, g1-12, or AV has been entered in Field G04 (sample
location in train)

Column 80
Numeric

Card H - Comments

Enter the code (from the following list) for the units in
which the emission factor was reported in G17. Emission

the process units are non-SCC process units reported in
Field BOS (and entered in comments) and other units

@ - 1b/non-SCC process unit indicated in BOS

Enter as a comment any information necessary for the
interpretation and use of data coded on this Data Form,
including specific items called for by coding instruc-
tions. Code in ordinary text (one character or symbol
per block), using appropriate spacing and punctuation and
beginning in Column 12. Comments related to specific data
fields should be entered on individual cards, keyed with
the field number in HO1. General comments on the same
subject should be grouped together on one or more cards
If more than one line is needed for a comment, continue
from Column 12 of succeeding cards; leave HO] blank to

sion under Card B, above).

This field indicates the units used for the process data
in B04, B06, and B07. Although SCC units corresponding to
the SCC entered in BOl are preferred, other units can be
accommodated if specified in comments. Eligible codes

are

@- SCC units per hour, corresponding to the SCC
entered in Field B01. (See Appendix B for SCC
units. )

1 - Other units per hour. Must be specified in
comment on Card H. May include such units as
horsepower and 1b of steam

If data appropriate for BO4, B06, and BO7 are in different.
units, enter proper units for B06 here and put conflicting
data and units in comments to avoid misinterpretation.

SECTION 6
INDIVIDUAL FIELD INSTRUCTIONS

This section presents instructions and other information necessary for
correct coding of each field on the SOTDAT Data Form. Separate instructions
are given for standard tests, trace element analyses, particle sizing, and
test runs that include more than one of these tests. (See Subsection 5.4 for
a discussion of these test types.) Because many fields remain the same for
more than one type of test, the standard test instructions are referred to
frequently in the other three sets of instructions

The format for each data field includes the field number and name, re~
quired units (if any), columns in the field, numeric/alphabetic/alphanumeric
designation, right or left justification or location of the preprinted deci-
mal, reference to any relevant appendices or discussions, a designation of
required fields, and text instructions

6.1 STANDARD TESTS
Form Control

The name and affiliation of the person filling out the SOTDAT Data Form
and the date of completion must be entered in the upper left-hand corner of
the first page of each Form

The Form Number is assigned by the responsible EPA program officer before
the Form is distributed, and it should be filled in on each page of the Data
Form used to code a test. It serves as an identifier, which is keypunched in
Columns 1 through 6 of each card. If a Form number has not been supplied, the
coder should contact the EPA program office from which the Forms were obtained

Columns 7 and 8 of each card are Card Identifiers. They consist of a
letter denoting card type, followed by a number or letter designating repeated
uses of that card type. These should be left as printed on the Form, except
on Card G (see Card G instructions for. details)

Card A - Source Identification

Fields AQ] through AOS are the NEDS plant and point identification num-
bers. If codes are not known, they should be obtained from a NEDS Point
Source Listing Report for the plant (see discussion on NEDS Information,
Subsection 5.12). Other sources are the EPA National Air Data Branch or state
air pollution control officials. State Identification Codes are also in AEROS

Access to information in SOTDAT is available through this office, subject
to the Freedom of Information Act and other regulations. Environmental Pro-
tection Agency personnel and contractors involved in source tests are encour-
aged to obtain any SOTDAT entries relevant to their tasks before beginning
fieldwork.

2.6 SOTDAT HISTORY

In 1973, SOTDAT was developed as a subsystem of NEDS. The original
SOTDAT Data Form was developed at that time and documented by a coding manual
in August 1973. Original report programs included a complete ‘report of the
entire file of a facility, a report on information gained from selected test
runs, a report listing the names and addresses of all plants -entered in the
system, and a report calculating emission rates from test runs selected by
pollutant and other keys

An initial SOTDAT coding effort led to loading of data from ut 1000
test runs in mid-1975. The original SOTDAT programs were documented to NADB
standards by 1976. Capacity for detailed information on-trace element
analysis and particle size tests was added in mid-1977. This addition in-
volved the development of appropriate forms, coding instructions, input and
report programs, and extension of the SOTDAT file format. By late 1977,
ongoing coding and input efforts had raised the number of test runs in SOTDAT
to almost 3000

In 1977 and 1978, SOTDAT was reviewed and revised. The basic computer
file format. input and report programs, coding forms, and documentation were
changed, as reflected in this volume. Concurrently, SOTDAT was transferred
from NEDS subsystem status to AEROS system status

16


Code actual data values of zero or nil as zero (), especially if a
test is performed and the result is zero.

Some important fields must be filled before any Data Form can be
submitted for entry into SOTDAT. These are clearly indicated in
Section 6 and are denoted on the Data Form by a heavy line below the
boxes in which the data are tobe entered. If required data are not
available, fill the field with asterisks and enter related informa-
tion or other comments on Card H (or N, for comments on Particle
Stage Results). See Subsection 5.7 for further discussion

All alphabetic and alphanumeric data items must be left-justified

All numeric data items must be zero-filled if data are entered
Leave blank if there are no data. ATT numeric data items must be
right-justified except for fields containing a preprinted decimal
point, indicated by a triangle (a).

Do not code a decimal point (.) in a numeric field unless specifi-
Cally directed. Preprinted triangles (A) represent implied decimal
points. Decimal values are allowed only in fields containing the
preprinted triangle. When no preprinted triangle appears in a
numeric field, the value entered must be an integer (i.e., the
decimal is assumed to be to the right of the rightmost column in the
field). This is made clear by the triangles appearing on the right
side of the last column, as in the last example below. When filling
in a field with a preprinted decimal, line up the decimal point in
the data item with the triangle indicating the preprinted decimal
(i.e., whole number digits to the left of the triangle and decimals
to the right). Do not use a column for the decimal point. The
following examples indicate proper coding of fields with preprinted
decimals.

When more explanation is required than is possible in a given field,
code the additional information in comments on Card H or Card N

Code general comments and comments on specific fields not related to
particle sizing stages on Card H. Code comments related to a spe-
cific particle sizing stage on the Card N pertaining to that stage.
(Detailed directions are given in the discussions of individual
cards and fields.)

45


A substantial amount of information will be common to all or several of
the Forms to be coded. It should be possible to fill such information in for
coding during startup and then to reproduce these sheets and thereby reduce
coder effort in coding individual test runs. Depending on the variety of
tests, test locations, and processes tested, different approaches are possi-
ble, but the following general guidelines should hold. (Care should be taken
to assure that each completed SOTDAT Data Form has a unique Form Number. This
field cannot be duplicated. )

All plant-level data (Card A except for NEDS point identification number)
and most test description data (Card C except for run number and date) will be
common to all test runs in a typical source test effort. Tests of a single
process operation will have substantial common process data (Card B except for
data applying to actual testing period rates) and control device data (except
for actual operating parameters and direction from sampling site location).

Tests run at the same sampling location will include further common data
(stack/duct description on Card D, sampling site data on Card E, and direction
of control devices from that location, F17). In most cases, the units used in
various fields will be consistent on all coding sheets

For multiple particle size tests made by the same instrument and sampling
techniques, all of the data on Cards J and K and most of the data on Card M
will be common.

5.6 MULTIPLE POLLUTANTS

Any number of test results (G Cards) can be entered under one SOTDAT Data
Form, by repetitions of Page 3. If over 30 pollutant results are obtained
(e.g., in trace element analysis) the most important results should be in-
cluded on one Page 3 and all the other results on additional copies of Page 3,
with the continuation clearly indicated in Comments. For conformance with the
EPA Emission Factor Program and other current activities concerned with the
criteria pollutants (total particulates, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides,
carbon monoxide, total hydrocarbons, lead), these pollutants should be listed
first in all results coding. Emphasis should also be placed on results of
toxic, hazardous, or other pollutants of EPA interest

5.7 REQUIRED DATA AND SOTDAT DATA CHECKS

For the source test records in SOTDAT to be suitable for emission factor
development and other purposes, the test results and a complete description of
the tested process must be present. This means that several specific data
items must be coded for a test result to be useful, such as the SCC or other
process description, actual operating rate, stack gas flow rate, molecular
weight and moisture content, sampling flow rate and volume, test and analysis
method, and pollutant type and concentration. Additional items are required
for entry of trace element analysis data or particle sizing data. -

SECTION 4
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SOTDAT CODERS

4.1 TEST PLANNING AND FIELD DATA SHEET

The data requirements of SOTDAT coding must be considered prior to actual
testing to assure that pretest activities and the test itself will obtain all
SOTDAT-related information that is available or can be measured during test~-
ing. Background and general information can be obtained prior to testing, and
a form such as the Field Data Sheet can be used to record information before
and during the testing period, as discussed in the following paragraphs

NEGS and SOTDAT Data

Preparation for a source test can be improved by obtaining available data
on the plant through EPA data systems. Plant description and emission data
for plants with potential uncontrolled emissions of 100 tons/year or greater
are available on the NEDS point source data listing (see Subsection 5.12).
Data from previous source tests may be available from SOTDAT. If SOTDAT
reports are available for the process to be tested, they should contain basic
information needed for SOTDAT coding of planned tests (e.g., NEDS identi-
fiers). The NEDS listing is highly recommended, however, to verify existing
SOTDAT data, to supply basic coding data, and to provide background informa~
tion for the testing team. The NEDS and SOTDAT information can be obtained
from NADB (see Subsection 2.5).

Field Data Sheet

The Field Data Sheet (Figure 10) should be used to record all information
required by SOTDAT that will not otherwise be collected and made available in
the test report. Separate sections are provided for data to be obtained
during the pretest survey, during actual testing, and from NEDS. It may be
desirable to reorganize the pretest survey, testing protocols, and data sheets
normally used by the testing organization to be sure all necessary data have
been collected.

As designed, the Field Data Sheet can be used directly for tests involv-
ing one sampling site and up to four runs. The user must adapt the form for
testing involving multiple processes and/or sampling sites. A separate page
indicating the process, sampling site, location with respect to control de-
vices, and respective run numbers may be necessary for larger testing efforts,
but this type of information is often routinely recorded as part of the test
documentation

The District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, American Samoa,
Guam, and the Virgin Islands also have State Identifica-
tion Codes.

Enter the four-digit county (or county equivalent) code
for the location of the point source being tested. If the
code is not available on a NEDS Point Source Report, check
against one of the following sources: AEROS Manual, Vol.
V, Section 2.2.0, or the SAROAD Station Coding Manual
(APTD-0907). The county codes are marked by asterisks.
(Do not use city codes, which are those without aster-
isks.) In Massachusetts, use the Air Pollution Control
District (APCD) codes, not the county (CO) codes; in
Alaska, use Election Districts (£D); and in Louisiana, use
parishes (PAR). These are the NEDS conventions

Enter the three-digit Air Quality Control Region (AQCR)
code. If it is not available on the NEDS Point Source
Report, it can be found in AEROS Manual, Vol. V, Section
2.3.0. Counties constituting each AQCR are listed in
Section 2.4.0. The AQCR codes can also be determined by
using AP-102 (Federal Air Quality Control Regions) to
identify the proper AQCR name and Appendix A of APTD-1135
(Guide for Compiling a Comprehensive Emission Inventory)
to find the code for that AQCR

Enter the four-digit NEDS Plant Identification (ID) Number
for the point source being tested. Plant ID's are as-
signed by the EPA Regional Office (or designated office)
and are unique within each county. See note under Card A
above for sources of NEDS point source identification
Plants with annual emissions of Jess than 100 tons/year
are not required to be in NEDS. If for any reason the
Plant ID cannot be determined, asterisk the field and
enter the reason in comments (Card H).

G06 - Concentration in Stack Gas

Columns 19-29 Enter here the concentration in the stack gas of the trace
Numeric element described on this Card G, in units coded in Field
On Decimal G07. Stack gas concentration is generally only meaningful

for the total analysis result, for an average of several
such results, or for analysis of particle size fractions
(sample location codes of TO, AV, or @1-12). Note in
comments, Card H, the reason for coding this field for
other sample locations. If an analysis is performed and
the result is below the detection limit of the method, the
actual result should be coded in G06 and Y entered in G14.

‘ If only the total trace element mass or concentration in
the analyzed sample is available, either G08 or both G10
and G12 may be coded instead of this field. A stack gas
concentration can be calculated internally by SOTDAT, if
G08 or G10 and G12 and total volume sampled (E07) are
filled.

The suitability of test data for entry into SOTDAT is based on several
criteria. Because of the intended use of the system, it is important that
these data be reliable. This precludes the use of data from developmental or
experimental testing or data derived from highly unconventional testing or
analysis methods’ and source types. Coders and NADB reviewers-are also relied
upon to avoid the use of questionable results. Standard checks are incorpor-
ated into SOTDAT input programs to ensure proper coding and to prevent en-
trance of test results not fulfilling a minimum data requirement (see Sub-
section 5.5).

2.3 REPORT CAPABILITIES

Several report programs are available to SOTDAT users; they provide three
report formats and a selection capability. The basic format for retrievals is
the Standard SOTDAT Report (Figures 1-3), which contains all information
entered for a specific test run. It features full labelling and interpreta-
tion of data items and codes. The Abbreviated Report (Figure 4) is also
available; it contains only the SOTDAT Form Number, plant name and address,
and other plant and test identification data, and all SOTDAT pollutant codes
for each test.. A third format, the Emission Factor Report (Figure 5), uses
information from selected SOTDAT test runs to arrive at estimated emission
factors and related statistics for a desired group of source tests

The SOTDAT user can select all SOTDAT test runs with desired values or
ranges of values for specific data items ("selection keys"). The user can
then have the selected test runs organized according to several "sort keys"
and have any of the above three reports printed out for each of the selected
and sorted test runs. Only specific SOTDAT data items (listed in Table 1) can
be used as select/sort keys

2.4 EPA SOURCE TEST REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

According to EPA Order 7600.2A, all source test data collected by EPA
personnel or contractors that are suitable for inclusion in SOTDAT must be
submitted to NADB on SOTDAT Data Forms. Coders must also submit a copy of the
test report itself. Correct procedures and other information on this report-
ing requirement are detailed in the Office of Air Quality Planning and Stan-
dards (OAQPS) Guideline 1.2-074: Interim Guidelines for Submitting Source
Test Data for Entry into the Source Test Data System (SOTDAT), July 1977

The following rules must be used in filling out the SOTDAT Data Form
(unless field-specific instructions in Section 6 indicate otherwise). More
complicated rules, procedures, and recommendations are also included in Sec-
tion 6.

1. Print legibly in block capital letters--only one letter, number, or
other character to a column (box). Use the following conventions to
distinguish between similar characters:

1 - one I - letter I
Z- two Z- letter Z
Y- zero 0 - letter 0
2. Fill in completely all fields for which data are given. Do not use

ditto marks (") or.other indicators instead of actual data

3. To indicate the absence of data for a particular field or the inap-
plicability of that field, leave the field blank (even numeric data
items). Do not code zeros, horizontal lines, or other indicators
for unused fields.

Technical Evaluation of Control Equipment

The SOTDAT information on control device operating parameters (inlet and
outlet stream temperatures, inlet stream particle size distributions, and
collection efficiencies) allows the evaluation of the overall performance of a
type of contro] equipment as applied to a specific source category (e.g.,
fabric filters controlling lead smelter blast furnaces).

Prediction of Control Method Costs

The SOTDAT control device operating parameters, when coupled with NEDS
point source information, can be used to estimate fixed and variable costs of
control methods for all of the source categories on file. For example, know-
ledge of the design throughput and pressure drop of a venturi scrubber (m°/s)
applied to a basic oxygen steelmaking furnace makes it possible to estimate
purchase, installation, and operating costs of such a system at any similar
installation on file.

Coordination of Enforcement and Surveillance Activities

The SOTDAT information can also supplement the compliance information now
available through NEDS to Headquarters and Regional Office Enforcement and
Surveillance personnel. For example, detailed surveillance source test infor-
mation can be stored and accessed as needed. In addition, enforcement person-
nel may use it in routine surveys

Performance of Source Tests

Personne] planning source tests can access SOTDAT to see if tests have
been performed on this or similar facilities, to obtain basic information on
sampling and analysis methods, and to acquire other useful presurvey details.
They can then contact the performing agency before testing, to get advice and
to clear up potential problem areas. They can also compare these results with
their own as a quality control technique

2.2 SYSTEM ORGANIZATION AND CONTENT

The data items in SOTDAT have been selected, defined, and arranged so
that sufficient information on each source test may be obtained to evaluate
that test's applicability to a SOTDAT user's purpose and to present that
information in a logical format to both coder and user. Data items are
grouped in various categories, which are maintained in the SOTDAT coding
forms, the SOTDAT data file records, and computer outputs. The following
discussions of report capabilities (Subsection 2.3), form descriptions
(Section 3), and the forms and coding instructions themselves should be con-
sulted for further detail on data groups and individual data items

All information on a given SOTDAT coding form, data record, or SOTDAT
report relates to one sampling run (i.e., to the same sampling site and time
period). Therefore, multiple Data Forms and SOTDAT reports are required for
results from a source test report involving multiple runs or sampling loca-
tions

SECTION 3
SOTDAT DATA FORM

Data for all source tests to be entered into SOTDAT are recorded on the
SOTDAT Data Form. This form is intended for recording of information related
to an individual test run. It has special sections designed specifically for
results of trace element analysis and particle sizing. The first three pages
of the form are to be used for all test types. The third page also contains
trace element analysis results. The fourth and fifth pages provide space for
additional sampling and results data related to particle size tests. The kind
of data to be entered on each page is described more fully in the following
paragraphs in this section, use of the Data Form for various kinds of tests is
discussed in Subsection 5.4, and specific field instructions for each kind of
test are presented in Section 6

The data to be entered on the cards that make up the SOTDAT Data Form
should follow the general format below:

Card A. Source identification: Includes the name and address of the
plant where the test was performed and its NEDS geographic codes and
plant and point (process) identification numbers

Card B. Process Data: Includes all information on the process being
sampled, such as the appropriate Source Classification Code (SCC), Stan-
dard Industrial Classification (SIC), Implementation Planning Program
(IPP) Process Code, design, average and sampling-period process rates,
data on fuel feed rate, heat content, composition, and process heat rate
Space is provided for up to three entries in each field to allow for the
input of multiple process descriptions and data on multiple fuels.

Card C. Test Description: Includes general descriptive information on
the test--test report number, run number, date, reason, identification of
the sponsoring agency, and testing organization

Card D. Ambient and Stack Data: Includes ambient meteorological data.
stack geometry data, and stack gas measurements and composition.

Card E. Sampling and Site Data: Includes test method, number of samp1-
ing traverse points, and other sampling details (such as flow rate and
volume sampled), aS well as fields describing the sampling site. The
sampling data can be repeated as many as six times to accommodate data on
multiple samples taken in a single test run

obtained from upwind-downwind sampling, vertical profiling, grid
network sampling, or other novel test methods cannot be meaningfully
recorded in SOTDAT.

5.4 STANDARD, PARTICLE SIZE, AND TRACE ELEMENT TESTS

Currently, SOTDAT is organized to handle three general groups of tests
These are defined and their entry into SOTDAT is outlined briefly in this
subsection and presented in detail in Section 6

The first group, called standard tests, includes all SOTDAT-compatible
tests other than trace element analysis or particle sizing. Most individual
standard tests yield a single result in the form of a stack gas concentration
of one pollutant. Some tests, however, involve various fractions or other
multiple results, and their results may be recorded on consecutive G cards

The second test group, trace element analyses, generally involves labora-
tory analyses run on particulate samples, but it may also include liquid
impinger contents, various washes, or other samples. Trace elements in this
case include not only typical trace elements (arsenic, beryllium, cadmium,
copper, iron, manganese, mercury, and nickel), but also any other parameters
having SOTDAT pollutant codes (e.g., uncombined elements, ions, compounds)
Trace element analysis tests are recorded on Cards A through H. Fields G08
through G15 are provided specifically for entry of the results and details of
trace element analysis itself.

The third group, particle size tests, includes all tests that differen-
tiate between particulate pollutants by specific size ranges (cut points)
Coding of particle size tests includes the entire SOTDAT Data Form except Card
G, which is not used unless stack gas concentrations, trace element analysis
results, or emission rates are available for specific particle sizer stages or
the total particulate catch

All results of a single test run (same sampling location and time) should
be recorded on the same SOTDAT Data Form, even if more than one of the above
groups is included. For example, total particulate results from a standard
test and subsequent trace element analysis of the filter should be reported
together.

5.5 CODING MULTIPLE TESTS

A number of SOTDAT Data Forms are required to enter a typical source test
report into SOTODAT. Each Form should inctude information for one test run,
defined as all tests at one sampling location in a given time period. Up to
six different sampling/test methods within a test run can be coded on one Form
by repetitions of Card E. (Additional methods must go on another Form. )
SOTDAT will hold any number of individual test results (Card G), each of which
is keyed (via the Card G Number) to relevant method data on Card E

L10 - Maximum Observed Percent Variation in Stack Gas Pressure

Cotumns 65-68 Enter the absolute value of the maximum percent by which
Numeric the stack gas pressure exceeded or fell below the average
On Decimal reported in D10. (See discussion in LO9. )

t11 - Maximum Observed Percent Variation in Stack Gas Velocity

Columns 69-72 Enter the absolute value of the maximum percent by which
Numeric the stack gas velocity exceeded or fell below the average
On Decimal reported in Dll. (See discussion in L09.)

L12 - Maximum Observed Percent Variation in Sampling Flow Rate

Columns 73-76 Enter the absolute value of the maximum percent by which
Numeric the sampling flow rate exceeded or fell below the average
On Decimal reported in E06. (See discussion in L09.)

L13 - Maximum Observed Percent Variation in Impactor Pressure Drop

Columns 77-80 Enter the absolute value of the maximum percent by which
Numeric the impactor pressure drop exceeded or fell below the
On Decimal average reported in LO1. (See discussion in LO9.)

Card M - Stage Characteristics and Results

One M card should be completed for each stage in the sampling train,
including preimpactor and postimpactor collection devices that involve sizing
Space is provided for up to 12 stages. If fewer than 12 stages of sizing were
used, complete only the appropriate number of M cards. If more than 12 stages
of sizing were used, indicate results for excess stages in comments on Card H
and indicate on the last N card filled out that more data are reported on Card
H

Remember that the term "impactor" should be interpreted to include any
other type of main particle sizing instrument when used in these instrumenta-
tions, and data should be supplied where pertinent. A number of the fields on
this Card (such as M03 through M07) are relevant only to impactor-type de-
vices, however

MO1 - Stage Number

Columns 9-10 Assign consecutive two-digit stage numbers to each

Numeric successive particle sizing stage in the train, beginning

Right- justify with @1 for the first sizing device in the train. In-
clude any sizing devices before or after the impactor or
other main sizing instrument. This order of stages should
result in successively smaller cutpoints in Fields A09 and
A13

should also read the material on the SOTDAT Data Form (Section 3) and note the
example SOTDAT Data Forms (Figures 6 through 8) provided to introduce the
organization of the cards and data items in the system. The example Data
Forms provide a useful reference during coding tasks

Coders and supervisory personnel should pay special attention to the
Recommendations for SOTDAT Coders (Section 4). These recommendations include
procedures and aids developed from user experience, which will reduce problems
and promote effective coding. Source test personnel involved in tests that
will be entered into SOTDAT also should read the material on test planning and
the field data sheet (Subsection 4.1).

Coders and supervisors should become thoroughly familiar with the General
Instructions and Individual Field Instructions (Sections 5 and 6). Thorough
understanding of and adherence to the definitions and coding rules, the
instructions in the other discussions (Subsections 5.3 through 5.15) and the
Individual Field Instructions are essential for successful SOTDAT coding

1.3 USE BY OTHERS

As the basic documentation of SOTDAT, this volume is also a valuable
reference both for SOTDAT users interested in interpreting information re-
trieved from SOTDAT and for persons unfamiliar with the system

Interpreting SOTDAT Reports

The SOTDAT Data Forms (Section 3) can be used to determine possible
restrictions on data entry or problems such as those resulting from misinter-
pretation of labels. The general and Individual Field Instructions in Sec-
tions 5 and 6 are the basic references for the correct meanings of data items
and for conventions and procedures used by coders in entering data

Becoming Familiar with SOTDAT

Persons not acquainted with SOTDAT should first review the material on
SOTDAT Background (Section 2), particularly the purposes and uses of SOTDAT
A close examination of SOTDAT Report Capabilities (Subsection 2.3) and Data
Forms (Section 3) will clarify the suitability of SOTDAT for a specific pur-
pose.

teft~justtfy that a maximum of one Tine (63 characters) of comments is
allowed per stage. Comments may be contin on: Card H by
referencing Field N03. Comments in this f } should
include any notes in the test report on Toss of substrate.
or grease or apparent re-entrainment from a spec
or stages, specification of type of stage or device,
filter type, treatment procedures. etc

6.4 COMBINED TESTS

When. a test run produces a combination of standard, trace element
analysis and/or particle size data, the results can be coded on.a single
SOTDAT Data Form. Code each type of data, using the appropriate directions ‘in
Subsections 6.1, 6.2, or 6.3. Use comments on Card H whenever necessary to
clarify coded information. Note that (as discussed in Subsection 5.5) all
‘test results’ coded on one SOTDAT Form must be from the same test run

Although ‘individual tests involving more than one test result type may be
encountered (examples are discussed below), the usual case of test runs in-
volving more than one result type will include separate sampling/test methods
Use of the card number for Cards E and G will allow fairly straightforward
entry of results from any combination of standard tests and trace element
analyses.

Cards A through F-must be coded for all test runs entered into SOTDAT.
Card-H will generally also be used for entering comments. Card-G will be used
forall standard test and trace element analysis ‘results, with ‘the standard
results first. .Cards K through N are only used for ‘tests involving particle
sizing.

One common case of combined test results from :the same sampling train
would involve standard test results from an EPA Method 5 particulate test,
with subsequent ‘trace element analysis performed on the main filter and per-
haps on the catch from other portions of the train .(e.g., probe wash, imping-
ers). The total particulate catch would. be recorded on the first Card G
(according to the directions in Subsection 6.1) and trace element analysis
results would be added on the following repetitions of Card G.

A second common case of combined test results from ‘the same sampling
train would involve a particle size test from which a value for total partic-
ulate catch was obtained. The total particulate catch, if considered a valid
test result with respect to isokinetic sampling and other parameters, would be
recorded as a standard. test result on Card G. ‘Data pertaining to the particle
size test would be recorded, as directed, on Cards K through N.

Prior to actual testing, the first two pages of the Field Data Sheet
should be filled out with the aid of personnel from the facility being tested
The SOTDAT Manual must be consulted to define the specific SOTDAT Control
Device Operating Parameters that apply to the control device(s) present. The
manual should also be used as a reference to answer questions related to other
data items. The sampling site description and process description should
include any division or convergence of flows, duct and control device desig-
nation within the plant, and other identifying details. If the plant oper-
ators are not able to supply all of the information concerning the
process(es), fuel(s), and control device(s), an effort should be made to
determine if these items are available through the plant office or engineering
staff in the form of production or operation figures, control device design or
operation specifications, etc. Obtaining as much information as possible
during the pretest survey will eliminate the problem of collecting it during
the test effort, when actual sampling and analysis must take priority.

Coding personnel should record NEDS identification numbers and process
codes as they are obtained at the top of the third page of the Field Data
Sheet. If a NEDS point source listing is available, the information collected
in the pretest survey can be compared with the NEDS process, fuel, stack, and
control device data. Significant differences should be noted, and values
collected in the pretest survey should be verified at the time of testing, if
necessary.

A final section is provided for recording process and fuel feed rates
measured or estimated during each test run. The following should be noted
any unusual conditions; process or sampling disturbances; and the derivation
of any estimated, average, or other rate not actually measured. The testing
group may find it more convenient and efficient to include this information in
their own test data sheets

4.2 CODING PERSONNEL AND PROCEDURES

Coding Personnel

Based on past experience of SOTDAT coders, it is recommended that a
single person in a source testing organization be designated to perform all
SOTDAT coding. This approach minimizes the startup time required to become
familiar with SOTDAT and the coding process. It is also recommended that the
designated coder be experienced in source testing and (preferably) be involved
in the tests to be coded. Source test engineers are often used as coders

Timing for Coding

Coding is most effective if it is performed soon after the data are
received. The more recent the test, the more likely any questions on reported
data or data not in the test report can be followed up with success. The test
report, however, should receive the usual checking and review before it is
coded. ‘ Tests performed by EPA contractors should be coded on’SOTDAT forms
after EPA review of the draft test report and submitted with the final report
