6. LABORATORY CERTIFICATION:
The State of Wisconsin requires the testing lab to submit a letter of certification of the ASTM
test methods used in completing analysis of samples submitted. This certification must be
submitted with any subsequent renewals.
The contract laboratory must be prepared to participate in two or three "no-alert" audits or surveys
during the contract. These audits may consist of analyzing blind, prepared samples pre-analyzed by
some other reputable laboratory as a base reference, with a possible number of other participating
laboratories providing comparison check results on the same reference "mother" sample group.
An audit may be justified for re calibration and or contract laboratory's equipment or procedures. This
justification may be based on any significant disparity to expected results or to average results of the
majority of participants.
If the laboratory fails more than one such audit, the State may terminate the contract.
On a monthly basis, no more often than once per month, the contract laboratory must submit a
random sample of the state's fuel to two (2) laboratories for "round robin testing" to ascertain
laboratory quality and accuracy. Results of this "round robin testing" must be submitted to the state
for review and concurrence upon completion of test. This testing will be conducted at no additional
cost to the State.

I.
The above derived "price correction" (price per ton) shall be multiplied by the total invoice weight in
tons to arrive at an overall price adjustment for the total tonnage represented on that fuel slip.
J.
Contractor will be required to make a calculation based on the actual fuel analysis to determine
calculated sulfur dioxide emission rate for boiler combustion of the fuel represented by each sample.
The sulfur dioxide emission rate calculation formula for solid fuels is:
E = 38 x (S)
H.V.
Where
S=
Sulfur content (as received analysis basis) written as percent by weight, i.e., 0.81%
= 0.81 numeric entry.
H.V. = Heating Value (as received analysis basis) expressed in units of million Btu per ton,
i.e., 13,100 Btu/lb. = 26.2 x 106 Btu/ton = 26.2 numeric entry.
E=
Resultant emission rate of sulfur dioxide expressed in units of pounds of SO 2 per
million Btu heating value of the coal.
Example Calculation - Actual analysis results (as received basis):
Sulfur = 0.81%,
Btu/lb. = 13,100
E = 38 x (0.81) = 1.21 lbs. SO2 per million Btu
26.2
The number value 1.21 would then be entered in the appropriate space on the analysis reporting
form (coal slip).
K.
Contractor shall sign and date the slip upon completion of that slip (analysis and calculations, etc.)
as indicated.
L.
Completed fuel analysis slips should be sent promptly to:

M.
A portion of each "as received" sample shall be retained for a period of 90 days after
mailing the analysis, for any possible fuel vendor audit or concern. If directed by the State of
Wisconsin, the primary laboratory shall forward to the secondary laboratory the remaining portion
of the contested "as received" sample for verification analysis. If the results of the verification
analysis are within the reproducibility of the results limits for each procedure as contained in the
latest ASTM Standards, all costs for the secondary lab analysis will be assumed by the State. If
the results are outside of those limits, the primary laboratory will be responsible for these costs.

E. Contractor will be required to make a simple calculation from the actual fuel analysis results in order to
determine a calculated sulfur dioxide emission rate for boiler combustion of the fuel represented by each
sample. The sulfur dioxide emission rate calculation formula for Distillate Fuel Oils is:
E = 142 x (S)
H.V.
Where
S=
Sulfur content (as received analysis basis) written as percent by weight, i.e.,
0.4% = 0.4 numeric entry.
H.V. =
Heating Value (as received analysis basis) expressed in units of million Btu
per thousand gallons, i.e., 138,000 Btu/Gallon = 138 x 106 Btu/103 Gal. = 138
numeric entry.
E=
Resultant emission rate of sulfur dioxide expressed in units of pounds of SO2
per million Btu heating value of the distillate fuel oil.
Example Calculation - Actual analysis results (as received basis):
Sulfur = 0.35%,
Btu/lb. = 136,500
E = 142 x (0.35) = 0.36 lbs. SO2 per million Btu
136.5
This result (0.36 lbs. SO2 per million Btu) would then be reported on the laboratory reporting form
along with other required analysis parameters.
E.
Reports shall be promptly sent to the Bureau of Operations & Management as indicated in
paragraph I.-L. above.
