Ov. Karpov et al., PRECISION EQUIPMENT FOR REPRODUCING PARTICLE SIZES AND NUMERICAL CONCENTRATIONS IN AEROSOLS, SUSPENSIONS, AND POWDERS, Measurement techniques, 40(9), 1997, pp. 917-919
Precision equipment is described for reproducing the unit of numerical
concentration and size for particles in aerosols, suspensions, and po
wders in the concentration range from 4.10(7) to 4.10(13) m(-3) with a
verage particle dimensions of 1-100 mu m. The apparatus is based on sm
all-angle loser-beam scattering and Beer's law. The optical system is
described. The residual systematic error in reproducing the numerical
concentration and unit does not exceed 12% in the above concentration
and size ranges.
