Dust sampling is important for studies on dust flow and air pollution, and many types of dustsamplers have been used in industry. But these samplers are often used under incorrect conditions.
The author made a new dust sampler of filter type, modifying an English mine type, and testedit under various conditions. Fig. 1 shows the sampler, and Fig. 2 an experimental apparatus.
This sampler has two merits as follows.
1) We can make an isokinetic (correct) sampling by equalizing the static pressure
Pi at the in-let and the static pressure
Ps in the outside flow. (Fig. 3)
2) We can determine approximate quantities of suction flow and dust concentrations by measur-ing pressure drops of cylindrical filter papers. (Fig. 4) Its maximum error is about 30%.
Other experimental results are as follows:-
a) Collection efficiency of the filter paper is almost 100% (complete) even for the finest talc powder.
b) This sampler can give a correct dust distribution on a cross section of dust flow. (Table 2)
c) Dust concentrations, which are tested repeatedly with this sampler at the same position in the dust flow, show good relative consistency. (Table 3)
d) Anisokinetic sampling results in tremendous errors when it is employed in determing dust concentration, the sampled dust weight and the dust fineness (specific surface). A rough tendency can be obtained only by the equations (1)-(5). The relation between the ratio of sampled dust weight
G/G0 and the ratio of suction flow velocity
U/U0 is quite different from that between the ratio of sampled dust concentration
m/m0 and the ratio of flow velocity
U/U0. (Fig. 6-8 and Table 4)
More research with detailed experiments must be conducted to determine additional characteristics of this sampler of filter type, which must be approximately equal to those of an inertia dust separator.
