Appendix 5 - Smoke Test for Chrome Tank Covers
|
| |
SMOKE TEST TO VERIFY THE SEAL INTEGRITY OF COVERS DESIGNED TO REDUCE CHROMIUM EMISSIONS FROM ELECTROPLATING
AND ANODIZING TANKS
|
1.
|
Applicability and Principle |
| |
1.1
|
Applicability. This alternative method is applicable to all hard chromium electroplating and anodizing operations
where a chrome tank cover is used on the tank for reducing chromium emissions. |
| |
1.2
|
Principle. During chromium electroplating or anodizing operations, bubbles of hydrogen and oxygen
gas generated during the process rise to the surface of the tank liquid and burst. Upon bursting,
tiny droplets of chromic acid (chromium mist) become entrained in the air above the tank. Because the chrome
tank cover completely encloses the air above the tank, the chromium mist either falls back into the solution
because of gravity or collects on the inside walls of the chrome tank cover and runs back into the solution. A
semi-permeable membrane allows passage of the hydrogen and oxygen out of the chrome tank cover. A lit smoke device
is placed inside the chrome tank cover to detect leaks at the membrane, joints, or seals. |
|
2.
|
Apparatus |
| |
2.1
|
Smoke Device. Adequate to generate 500 to 1000 ft3 of smoke / 20 ft2 of tank surface
area (e.g., Model #1A=15 SECONDS from Superior Signal, New York). |
| |
2.2
|
Small Container. To hold the smoke device. |
|
3.
|
Procedure |
| |
Place the small container on a stable and flat area at center of the chrome tank cover (you can use a board
and place it on the buss bars). Place the smoke device inside the container. After lighting the smoke device,
quickly close the access door to avoid smoke from escaping. Let smoke device completely burn; entire space
under the chrome tank cover will now be filled with the smoke. Observe for leaks of smoke from each seal,
joint, and membrane of the chrome tank cover. Record these observations including the locations and a
qualitative assessment of any leaks of smoke.
When all seals, joints, and membranes have been observed, evacuate the unit to remove the smoke from the chrome
tank cover. |
