ODOROMETER OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS for the ODOROMETER 1. APPLICATION The ODOROMETER is a portable instrument that can be used by gas companies to check the odorization of the gas being distributed. The instrument provides an easy method of determining the odor intensity of a gas stream at any convenient point in the gas distribution or transmission lines, and is a faster method of determining odor levels at high or low gas-air concentrations than the room-test method.

ODOROMETER NOTE: If the LED goes out after a few seconds, replace the batteries. 5. The GAS INLET NEEDLE VALVE is located in the center of the panel. Open the valve slowly while sniffing the air being discharged from the SNIFFER FUNNEL opening in the top of case. 6. The observer must be careful to hold his nose within one inch of the SNIFFING FUNNEL to avoid dilution with the surrounding air (placing the upper lip on the handle will allow the nose to be centered about one inch above the SNIFFING FUNNEL).

ODOROMETER 4. THRESHOLD ODOR DETERMINATION 1. Have the observers sniff the unodorized air stream. 2. Adjust the gas flow rate to the estimated threshold value and let the observers sniff again to see if they can smell any foreign odor. 3. Adjust the gas concentration upward or downward, as indicated by the above test, and have the observers sniff again. 4. Repeat this procedure until the threshold value is obtained for each observer.

ODOROMETER 7. MAINTENANCE The FLOWMETER tube and floats must be kept clean to prevent sticking of the floats in the tube. To disassemble, press the sides of the plastic cover and pull out. Remove the spring lock clip at the top of tube, lift the tube connector and pull tube out by lifting from the bottom connectors. The tube and floats can be washed in alcohol, trichloroethylene or other solvent.

ODOROMETER 8. HOW TO USE THE ODOROMETER GAS CALIBRATION CHART When the odor (mercaptan) in gas has been detected, observe the reading indicated by the FLOWMETER float. Depending on the range required, use either the upper glass float (colored) for values 0.04 to 0.4% or lower metal float (silver) for values 0.2 to 1.2%. EXAMPLE: FLOWMETER (silver float) indicates 70; use second curve and observe that percent gas indicated by the chart is 1.1% (% GAS IN ODOROMETER EFFLUENT).
