Laboratory and Field Evaluation of Hydrogen Chloride Measurement Instrumentation.

Abstract

This report describes the operating characteristics of the microcoulometric and chemiluminescent HCl analyzers and summarizes results from the several laboratory and field evaluation studies. The field test program has provided a clear indication of instrumentation preference for specific applications, but only preliminary insight into the behavior of the exhaust cloud following solid booster rocket launches. The detection concept and fast response characteristics of the chemiluminescent analyzer make it clearly superior for the airborne monitoring application. The coulometer by contrast has proven itself as a versatile laboratory tool and a useful field instrument for HCl detection in ground monitoring applications. (Author)
