SPECIAL DUST SURVEY TRANSITE PIPE FIELD OPERATIONS
Personal dust samples on several field operations that are performed on TRANSITE pipe have been re-tested. Samples taken on April 10, 1972 were obtained outside between PD #1 Building and New Business Building, Strong drafts were present blowing dust away from the operator.
Due to rain, those taken on April 13, 1972 were inside the walkway connecting PD #1 and PD #2. The large doors on both sides of the walkway were opened and a moderate draft was blowing away from the operator.
Bob Anderson performed the operations and Joe Macko and Tom Bordas con ducted the sampling.
Pipes used for testing were 4 in. Telephone Duct, 6 in. CL150 Water Pipe and 8 in. CL2400 Sewer Pipe. All samples were of 20 minute duration. The test results are as follows:
