Automatic Control of Particle Size of Dioctyl Phthalate (DOP) Aerosol Using a Simplified Particle-Size Analyzer.

Abstract

The conventional particle-size analyser for the 0.3-micrometer dioctyl phthalate (DOP) aerosol used to test particulate filters was considerably modified. Under contract, a new particle-size instrument was developed which could be calibrated quickly and simply without the use of a calibrating lamp. Also, an output signal was generated for automatic control of particle size. (Author)
