VENTILATION SMOKE TUBE KITS
|
|
|
FEATURES
|
|
|
 Controlled
smoke generation for determining flow and velocity of slow-moving air
currents
|
|
|
Excellent for tracing
air currents in shafts, mines, tunnels, as well as heating, ventilating
|
|
|
and air-conditioning
systems
|
|
|
Kits come with
everything needed for smoke generation
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
MSA
Ventilation Smoke Tube Kits are for use where controlled generation of a
visible smoke is
|
|
desired
in order to determine the velocity, direction and flow patterns of slow-moving
air currents
|
|
in shafts, mines and tunnels. They can also be
used in commercial buildings and industrial processing
|
|
plants to determine the velocity and flow
patterns of heating, ventilating and air-conditioning systems.
|
|
Ventilation
Smoke Tube Kits consist of a hand-held rubber aspirator bulb, two rubber
plugs and
|
|
smoke-producing tubes of either
plastic or glass design.
|
|
Glass Smoke Tubes
|
|
Glass
tubes contain a chemically impregnated media that generates smoke when it is
exposed to air being
|
|
pushed through the tube by the aspirator bulb.
To operate, the user simply snaps off and discards both of
|
|
the scored ends of the tube. Next, the user
inserts one end of the tube into the exhaust fitting of the
|
|
aspirator bulb. To generate smoke, the user squeezes
the aspirator bulb.
|
|
With either style, a single tube is intended
to supply smoke for one day of normal use. Once smoke has been
|
|
emitted from the
tube, the user should watch the direction and speed of the smoke movement. To
determine
|
|
velocity, the
travel time of the smoke should be taken over a premeasured
distance. When testing is complete,
|
|
simply remove the bulb from the plastic or glass tube and plug
both ends of the tube with rubber stoppers
|
|
supplied with the
kit.
