Comparison of measured respirable dust sampler penetration curves with sampling conventions.
Measured sampler penetration curves are presented for British personal cyclone samplers and the MRE 113A static horizontal elutriator in calm air. These curves are compared with previous results for these instruments, and with theoretical models of sampler behaviour. The sampling efficiency of the elutriator when facing a moderate wind is discussed. The penetration curves are assessed by comparison with standard sampling conventions for respirable dust.
