Three (3) filter cassette samples were received on March 11,
1992 from Dow Chemical for fiber count. Fibers larger than 5
microns in length were counted by means of phase-contrast
microscopy at a magnification of 400X. The procedure recommended
by NIOSH method 7400A was followed.
Pertinent information
regarding fiber counts is as follows:
Field Area: 0.00785 mm2 (Walton Beckett Graticule)
Effective Collecting Area:
385 mm2 (25 mm Cassette)
855 mm2 (37 mm Cassette)
Limit of Quanititation:
10 fibers/100 fields
Limit of Detection: > Average Blank Count
@ Detection limits are based upon a minimal concentration of 7
fibers/mm2.
