Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Performance testing of the OSIRIS dust monitoring system

Notes: Sumario: OSIRIS is a monitoring system for non-fibrous dusts based on optical scattering methods. It was developed by HSE's Safety Engineering Laboratory primarily for use in the coal-mining industry as an alternative to gravimetric sampling. Up to eight dust monitors can be controlled by a microcomputer via a two-wire telemetry link at distances of up to 8 km. The paper reports the results of comparative tests between OSIRIS and the MRE 113A gravimetric sampler in a calm air dust box, in a wind tunel and in field trials at two collieries. Results show that OSIRIS can be calibrated against the MRE 113A for a given dust and that the calibration is maintained over the normal working range of 0-40 mg m-3Related records: En: The Annals of occupational hygiene. - Oxford [etc.]. - nº 3, June 1990 ; p. 263-279Materia / lugar / evento: Higiene industrial Contaminantes químicos Polvo Contaminación atmosférica Control de la contaminación Muestreador MRE 113A OSIRIS Otros autores: Vaughan, Nicholas P.
