# PTAC 1432 Instrumentation I - Chapter 6 Analyzers Drill #1 1. **T** F - Analyzers commonly referred to as Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS) may be used to report emissions directly to the EPA. 2. **T** F - Online product analyzers give operators a "Real-time" view of the product. 3. Conductivity is a measurement of the ability of a material to conduct an electrical current. If the conductivity is 'high' the operator should **blowdown**. 4. A solution that has a "pH" below 7.0 is considered **acidic**. 5. Solutions having a "pH" above 7.0 are **alkaline**. 6. What type of analyzer would you find on a distillation column? **BP analyzer** 7. Plant workers sometimes wear **personal** (gas testing) **monitors** to detect potential exposure to harmful substances. 8. **T** ✓ **F** - Gas testing is usually not required to enter a vessel if the vessel has only contained steam or water. 9. Name at least two sources of fugitive emissions: **flange leaks** **packing leaks** •**Valve gaskets** • **holl in cracks on pipes line** 10. What's the purpose of a hydrometer? **Measures density of specific material (viscosity & specific gravity)** 11. What type of analyzer is best suited to measure "cloudiness" in a process stream? * a) pH meter * b) conductivity * **c) turbidity** * d) opacity analyzer 12. **analyzers** are commonly referred to as the 5th process variable.
