## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools for designing compliant air emission testing protocols. It calculates optimal vertical sampling locations using `get_sampling_strategy`, determines required traverse points via `calculate_traverse_points`, estimates necessary test time with `determine_test_duration`, and verifies regulatory adherence through `validate_protocol_compliance`. It ensures all protocols meet strict EPA standards for isokinetic sampling and flow profiles.

## Tools

### calculate_traverse_points
Calculates the number and specific locations of sampling points across the stack diameter

### determine_test_duration
Calculates the minimum time required to conduct the test

### get_sampling_strategy
Determines the optimal vertical sampling location within the stack

### validate_protocol_compliance
Evaluates a proposed protocol against specific regulatory requirements

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Find the best sampling height for a stack with a 2m diameter and 5m of upstream disturbance.
```

**Response:** 
```
The recommended sampling height is 1.5 meters from the reference point to ensure laminar flow.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How many traverse points are needed for PM10 in a 1.5m diameter stack with isokinetic sampling?
```

**Response:** 
```
For a 1.5m diameter stack and PM10, 12 traverse points are required to maintain isokinetic compliance.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the test duration for a target mass of 0.5kg with a flow rate of 10 m3/s and a 0.01 m2 nozzle.
```

**Response:** 
```
The minimum test duration required is 45 minutes to collect the target mass.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does the tool ensure isokinetic compliance?**
The `calculate_traverse_points` tool specifically accounts for isokinetic requirements to ensure the sampling nozzle velocity matches the stack gas velocity.

**Can I validate my protocol against EPA Method 5?**
Yes, you can use `validate_protocol_compliance` to check your calculated parameters against specific EPA Method IDs.

**What inputs are needed for sampling location?**
To use `get_sampling_strategy`, you need the stack diameter and the distances to the nearest upstream and downstream disturbances.
