SUGAR-TUBE METHOD

Domain	Definition
Mining	A dust-sampling technique that measures airborne dustiness on a mass basis. In the glass tube is placed a layer, 1-1/2 in (3.8 cm) deep, of sized granulated sugar weighing 100 g. By means of a suitable pump, air is drawn through the sugar tube at a rate of approx. 1 ft3 /min (0.0283 m3 /min). The dust is retained in the sugar tube, which is then stoppered and sent to the laboratory for analysis. The sugar is dissolved and the dust is caught on a filter paper that is incinerated togive the weight of dust. (references)
