TCLP Bags
In 1990 the EPA issued a final ruling on the procedure for determining
the mobility of organic and inorganic contaminants present in liquid,
solid, and multiphasic waste. The Toxicity Characteristic Leaching
Procedure (TCLP) provides a means to determine the potential for waste
leaching
in a landfill environment. According to this procedure, a pressure-driven
piston system, Zero Headspace Extractor (ZHE), forces liquid waste
through a glass fiber filter and into a Tedlar bag for subsequent analysis.
SKC offers an alternative disposable Tedlar bag for use with the Zero Headspace
Extractor. The 231-01-TCLP bag is a one-liter Tedlar bag with a single stainless
steel septum fitting that is designed to be connected to commercially available
extractor vessels using a special stainless steel adapter (231-01-ZHE).
Using Standard Bags
The use of a standard one-liter SKC 231-01 bag featuring two stainless steel
fittings also complies with the EPA TCLP Method but is more expensive. The hose/valve
fitting is used for initial bag filling while the septum fitting is used for
removing
a
sample.
These bags are suitable for attachment directly to an extractor with an appropriate
Teflon ® or stainless steel coupler or Teflon tubing.
