The Effects of Sampling Probe Design and Sampling Techniques on Aerosol Measurements

Abstract

This report summarizes the results of a research program which used laser instrumentation to determine the effects of sampling probe design and sampling techniques on aerosol measurements. The upstream flow disturbances resulting from the presence of a sampling probe were measured as functions of probe design, extraction rate, gas velocity, and angle of attack. Sampling errors are also given for the probes as functions of these variables. The program and techniques involved are discussed in detail.
