Dust Evaluation Tape

Dustiness tapes provide pictorial ratings for the assessment of the average quantity of dust as well as descriptive classes for the assessment of the average size of the dust particles. The method is based on pressing a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape on to the steel surface to be tested. Dust evaluation tapes are used to carry as a "passfail" test by comparison with specific limits or by permanently recording the dust present on a surface by mounting the tapes.
