Experimental Assessment and Calibration of an Inertial Spectrometer

Abstract

An experimental assessment has been made of the performance of an inertial spectrometer to measure the aerodynamic diameter of aerosol particles. These studies have included a determination of the optimum operating conditions for good size resolution, and the calibration of the instrument with monodisperse aerosol particles. Sampling conditions had to be chosen with care in order to ensure that the instrument operated correctly and sep-
