- Abstract
- In assessing the performance of smoke detectors in the laboratory, it is necessary to have standardized smoke measurement devices which function according to the same principles as the smoke detectors under test. In developing these measurement devices, a need exists to determine, as precisely as possible, the effects of the smoke characteristics on the measurement devices. This paper presents the correlation between smoke characteristics and comparative measuring devices important in smoke detector test work and how these measuring devices also can be used as aerosol measuring devices.
