Abstract:
:This paper reports the comparison of three measuring methods for quantifying the amount of dust on the inner surface of ventilation ducts: 1) a vacuum test method; 2) a gravimetric tape method; and 3) an optical method. Thirteen recently constructed buildings were selected for the field test in the Helsinki metropolitan area. The dust samples in each method were all taken from the same location in the duct. Most of the ducts sampled had no residual oil originating from the manufacturing process. The mean amount of dust measured with the vacuum test method was 1.3 g/m2 and the range was < 0.1-8.4 g/m2. The mean surface dust level measured using the gravimetric tape method was slightly lower, i.e. 1.2 g/m2 (< 0.1-5.0 g/m2). The mean cleanliness level of the ducts was 15% (2-41%) using the optical method. The wide variations and differences in the results of the different methods were caused by the unequal distribution of dust on the duct surfaces.
