Scope

GB/T 19117-2017 is the English-translated version of 酸雨观测规范.

GB/T 19117-2017 is the Chinese specification for observing acid rain at fixed ground sites. It sets the general principles of the observation, the choice of observation sites, the precipitation sampling equipment, including automatic samplers, the observation laboratory and the pH and conductivity meters with their periodic verification.

It then covers how precipitation samples are collected, prepared and measured, quality assurance and quality control, including the checking of pH and conductivity data, and the observation records and data files.

Among its definitions, acid rain is precipitation with a pH below 5.60, alongside the pH and conductivity of atmospheric precipitation and standard buffer solutions.

Annexes deal with buffer solution preparation, data checking, quality control charts and the formats of daily and monthly records. It replaces GB/T 19117-2003, was issued on 12 May 2017 and has applied since 1 December 2017.

Foreword

This standard is drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.

This standard replaces GB/T 19117-2003 "acid rain observation specification", compared with GB/T 19117-2003 main technical changes are as follows.

- modified the definition of "pH for atmospheric precipitation" (see 3.3, 3.3 of 2003);

- the definition of "atmospheric precipitation conductivity" (see 3.4, 2003 3.4);

- the definition of "standard buffer solution" has been added (see 3.5);

- Increased technical requirements for automatic precipitation sampling equipment (see 6.2);

- Increased technical requirements for periodic verification of pH and conductivity meters (see 8.3);

- Increased technical specifications for the performance of the electrode for measuring electrode performance and conductivity (see 8.1 and 8.2);

- technical provisions for the verification of precipitation pH and precipitation conductance data (see 11.1 and Appendix D);

- modified the style of the acid rain observation record book in Appendix F (informative) (see Appendix F, Appendix E of the 2003 edition);

- Added technical requirements for the format of the observational data document (see Appendix G) in Appendix G (informative);

- amended the technical requirements for the recording of relevant weather phenomena in Appendix H (informative) (see Appendix H, Appendix F of the 2003 edition).

1 Scope

This standard specifies the general principles of acid rain observation, observation sites, precipitation sampling equipment, observation laboratories, pH meters and conductivity meters, precipitation Product collection and measurement preparation, precipitation measurement, quality control and quality assurance, acid rain observation records and acid rain observation data.

This standard applies to the observation of acid rain at fixed ground sites.

2 Normative reference documents

The following documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the dated edition applies to this document. For undated references, the latest edition (including all modifications) applies to this document.

3 Terms and definitions

The following terms and definitions apply to this document.

3.1 Acid rain

pH precipitation is less than 5.60.

Note: Precipitation forms include liquid precipitation, solid precipitation and mixed precipitation.

3.2 Acid rain observation

Collecting precipitation samples systematically at fixed site sites, measuring atmospheric pH and atmospheric precipitation conductivity, providing chemical Analysis of precipitation samples.

3.3 pH value of atmospheric precipitation

Negative logarithm of hydrogen ion activity in atmospheric precipitation.

pH = -lg [H]

Where:

pH --- atmospheric precipitation pH, dimensionless;

[H] - Hydrogen ion activity in moles per liter (mol·L-1).

3.4 Atmospheric precipitation conductivity

The measurement of the conductivity of atmospheric precipitation is measured by the current density of the atmospheric precipitation sample in the conductivity measurement cell and the intensity of the electric field applied thereto Ratio.
