Evaluation of Techniques for Protecting Dust Sampling Equipment in Harsh Environments.

PB96210810

Publication Date	1996
Personal Author	Goodman, G. V. R.; Spencer, E. R.
Page Count	20
Abstract	This research examined several techniques for protecting sensitive dust instrumentation in harsh environments. This work also investigated the use of small neoprene rubber shields to protect the cyclone inlets from excessive water mist. Statistical analyses were used to determine if these modifications resulted in significant differences in measured dust levels when compared with unmodified or unprotected instrumentation. Particle size analyses were also conducted for the various test configurations and the results used for interpretive purposes.
