METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SAMPLING OF A PARTICLE-BEARING GAS

摘要

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SAMPLING OF A PARTICLE-BEARING GAS A method and apparatus for sampling a particle-bearing gas in which a vacuum is applied to the gas to generate a stream of gas, the flow of the stream is maintained constant, and particles are collected from the stream. A constant flow controller responsive to the static pressure of the gas in the stream provides a flow restriction which gradually decreases to compensate for a gradually increasing flow restriction caused by particles collecting on an initially particle-free collection filter located in the stream.
