Field Test Plan

Three replicates of coated and uncoated panels were exposed at three test sites PI, P2 and P3 up to 48 months (m) and the performance evaluation were carried out at different time interval. Various tests were carried out on test panel and the overview of field exposure tests plans are given in Table 2.6.

Field testing of hot gas expanders is normally intended to establish the unit meets quoted performanee or as a set point for future eompari-sons, whieh eould be used to antieipate or plan maintenanee work. 

Owing to the greater test uneertainties assoeiated with field testing as eompared to planned shop testing, the warranty and guarantee should be modified to take into aeeount the nonideal test set-up. 

The most difficult part of a field test is the flow meter, if it wasn t planned in the construction phase. There is no way to simulate a meter run if you don t have the proper pipe length. Figure 10-8 is an example of the requirements. An ASME long radius flow nozzle is preferred by the author, though a short throat venturi will do. The probability is that an orifice is all that will be available. It should be examined before and after the test to verify not only the bore diameter, but the finish. The bore should... 

Field Tests. Recently we conducted a field test at a site contaminated with fuel oil. Our measurements were 0.0625 0.0212 mA for the well water and 0.0189 0.0119 mA for distilled water (showing errors of one standard deviation). From calibration curves, these numbers can be reported as equivalent to 50 ppb phenol or 34 ppb xylenes. Nine-month-old laboratory results (EPA method 624 and GC/FID) for this site indicated concentrations of 25 ppb for benzene, toluene, and xylenes combined and 100 ppb for fuel oil. The important result is the significant difference between the distilled-water and well-water measurements. We are very encouraged by these results and are planning future field tests.

The design and construction of sample collection and field test kits is a planning activity, since these kits must be ready to go at a moment s notice in response to a possible contamination threat. In addition to improving the efficacy of the site characterization and sampling activities, advance preparation of sample collection and field test kits offers several advantages ... 

Field testing and sampling maybe handled in the generic plan by presenting a menu that covers all potential options available to the utility, based on both internal and external capabilities. In developing a customized plan, the incident commander can simply check off the field tests and sampling requirements that are appropriate for the specific situation. The site characterization plan may also need to be revised in the field based on the observations of the team. 

Plans are underway for a field test of a megawatt class fuel cell/gas turbine hybrid system on an Environmental Protection Agency site at Ft. Mead, Maryland. This system is expected to exhibit an efficiency of about 60 % (LHV) depending on the turbine and the inverter selected. Operation is expected in the second half of 2002. 

Congratulations on your completion of an excellent field test program. Your planning and test procedures were excellent. You have aptly demonstrated agent effectiveness as well as therapeutic efficacy of treatment compound and... 

Perform a more detailed analysis of the items. This stage may include field-testing, field disassembly, and shop disassembly. Additional pictures of the component should be taken, especially during testing and disassembly activities. All of these activities should be performed in a careful and controlled manner using a test plan as discussed below. 

When we receive these test results from laboratory and field testing, we reconsider the entire slate of designer waters to see whether there are some other options that we should explore. When we are finally satisfied wifh our investigations, or run out of time and budget, we begin the process of evaluations and assessment of all of these options, and see whether there are one or more options to recommend. The candidate should have the properties of a potential market niche with defined cusfomers, a defined process technology to make the product, and a financial plan tiiaf would make a suitable profit. 

Various demonstration projects and activities have been planned and implemented to field-test... 

Field tests of the value of the relationships observed in the laboratory studies of petroleum fractions against the Califomia red scale and the citrus red mite are planned for the Califomia red scale and are in progress for the citrus red mite. In addition, field experiments offer opportimities to observe the response of citms trees to differences in molecular size and to paraffinic vs. naphthenic composition of the oils. 

The test chapter section will include information about purpose, test documentation, review and approval, formal test plan, and test execution. Testing the spreadsheet should take all requirements into account. Tests using known cases and data including known results have to be developed. The data set used for testing should include representative data. If applicable, tests should also include data sets that will test values that exceed the anticipated range of normal operations and check for data close to the acceptance criteria limits. Data that make no sense (text in a numeric field) or are not allowed to be used in the calculation should be considered in the testing phase as well. The simplest test to validate a spreadsheet calculation is to perform a manual calculation and document it. All tests performed, results expected, acceptance criteria for the tests, and procedures for alternative calculation (e.g., manual calculation) will have to be documented. Persons who perform the testing have to be trained appropriately and must be mentioned in the documentation. 

The objectives of the research program are to obtain realistic engineering and economic data on solar distillation plants and to develop methods of improving their initial and operating costs. Field tests are being conducted at a research station in northern Florida, where three solar stills have been constructed and others are planned to be built. The stills are extensively instrumented, so that heat losses and other performance data may be accurately determined. 

A laboratory experiment typically requires months to plan and costs approximately US 50,000-300,000. There is less certainty here than in the field tests, but also less expense. 

Field Locations. For each field test location a variety of information is collected and recorded in addition to the samples which are collected. Seven general categories of information can be defined. Three simple ones are 1) test design or plot plan, 2) location and 3) field use history for several years. Field soil characterization 4) includes screen analysis (soil type), pH measurement, and organic matter content. Weather information 5) includes daily temperatures and rainfall and/or irrigations during the test. Application related data 6) consists of dates, application modes, weather conditions at application, calculations and calibrations. Harvest information 7) includes crop name, part, amount, date, and collector. 

Plans were made to field test G-30026 (norazine), G-30027 (atrazine), G-30028 (propazine), G-30031 (ipazine), and G-27901 (trietazine) as herbicides for com and approximately 10 other crops. These compounds would be extensively compared with simazine. 

The last ten years have witnessed a number of extensive field tests of underground coal gasification (UCG) in the United States and Europe. Model development is essential to the proper understanding of these test results and to the planning of future experiments. This report will focus upon the steady-state "permeation" or "packed bed" model of in situ gasification (forward combustion mode). In this useful but idealistic model the coal bed is assumed to be uniformly permeable to reactant and product gases. 

To a large extent the Commanding General and the Technical Director of the Project have entrusted the planning, execution and interpretation of non-persistent field tests to Division 10. We appreciate this evidence of confidence and are trying our best not to disappoint these men.
