Evaluation of the TEOM (tapered-element oscillating microbalance) dust monitor. Information Circular/1986
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6534595
The Bureau of Mines tested a prototype tapered-element oscillating microbalance (TEOM) dust monitor for measuring respirable coal-mine dust. Tests were performed to determine variability, drift, the effect of humidity, placement of collection filter, and element orientation during analysis, and comparability with gravimetric measurements of respirable coal dust. Dust tests were performed in an aerosol chamber using coal dust. Measurements made by the TEOM dust monitor agreed to within 10% of simultaneous measurements by gravimetric personal samplers.
