The 10 mm cyclone respirable mass sampler was evaluated to determine the flow rate which best matched the British Medical Research Council and the Los Alamos Atomic Energy Commission-American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists criteria, and to determine effects of pulsating flow, particle charge, mass loading, and sampler orientation. The work with coal dust is presented. There is no significant difference between results obtained, for normal ranges of airborne dust concentration and size distribution, due to particle charge, sampler orientation or position (except upside down, which was not investigated), dust concentration, and ambient air velocity.
