Evaluation of Portable, Direct-Reading Mercury Vapor Meters.

PB83176586

Publication Date	1976
Personal Author	McCammon, C. S.; Woodfin, W. J.
Page Count	70
Abstract	The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health conducted a performance evaluation of commercially available, portable, direct reading meters for the measurement of mercury vapors. These meters were chosen from the literature of instruments available in the U.S. and meeting certain requirements. These requirements included portability, e.g., weight less than 10 pounds, size less than one cubic foot, battery operated, also specificity for mercury vapor, and direct reading. Meters were purchased which fit the guidelines established to at least some extent. These meters were then tested to determine their performance characteristics, and these, along with their physical characteristics, are discussed in this report.
