Re: Self-Absorption Effects on Air Filters -Reply

[Michael S Ford <MFORD@pantex.com>]

Jeff,

Please correct me if wrong, but the self-absorption number
correction factor (2) quoted in Andy, John and Mary's paper (HPJ
65:1, 69-81) from Simons (1956) are also for cellulose fiber filters, not
cast membrane MCE's (e.g. Corning's Membra-Fil or Millipore's
Fluoropore).

Otherwise, the paper IS an excellent resource.
