Abstract
In this work, a device for aerosol charge measurement and dust sampling
is presented. The device is basically an open-ended Faraday pail with a
filter to collect the sample. It can be attached to a pneumatic transfer
line or it can be used with hose, depending on the situation. When the
system was developed, special emphasis was put on the ease of use and
reliability. The device can be assembled and disassembled with one
twist. The reliability and the operation of the device was tested using
two different powder materials, test dust and polystyrene pellets, and
four different hose materials. By combining these materials, different
extents and polarities of tribo-charge were obtained. The device proved
to be easily operated and the test results showed good reproducibility.
