Patent

CA 2239857

Devices (100) and methods for measuring the concentration of airbone fibers are provided. The devices include flow means (5 and 6) for providing laminar flow to a portion of the fibers (20) in an air sample and a light source (9) for generating a light beam (12) directed to the laminarly flowing fibers (20) to produce a scattered light. The device further includes a sensor (14) for sensing a portion of this scattered light and producing an output from which a respirable fiber concentration estimate can be measured.

L'invention concerne des dispositifs (100) et des procédés pour mesurer la concentration de fibres dans l'air. Les dispositifs comporte des moyens à écoulement (5 et 6) pour produire un écoulement laminaire sur une partie des fibres (20) d'un échantillon d'air et une source lumineuse (9) pour générer un faisceau lumineux (12) dirigé vers les fibres (20) s'écoulant sous l'effet du flux laminaire de sorte qu'une lumière diffusée soit produite. Ledit dispositif présente aussi un capteur (14) pour capter une partie de cette lumière diffusée et pour produire un signal de sortie à partir duquel une estimation de la concentration de fibres respirables peut être effectuée.
