Abstract
The report, in guideline form, is an outgrowth of discussions by members of a working group of EPA/IERL-RTP personnel, contractors, and independent experts who met to develop uniform procedures for the field use of inertial impactors to determine particle size distributions from industrial particulate sources. It is intended to promote individual tests of similar quality so that valid comparisons may be made. It is emphasized that this document is for guidance only, and is not a set of rules. Techniques for measuring particle size in stationary sources are too new, and too few testing situations are the same. Professional judgment is still the most important element in successfully determining fractional efficiency. The report discusses the preliminary survey, the sampling apparatus, testing procedures, and data analysis. The information applies to cascade impactors in general. Specific commercial impactors are discussed.
