Abstract

A laboratory spraying apparatus is described. It consists of an atomizer carried on a mechanical carriage that moves at constant speed back and forth at a fixed height above the target; after each passage the carriage is moved forward on another carriage. A large area (about 30 by 60 cm) can be sprayed in this way. Tests of the performance of the apparatus showed it to be capable of giving a reasonably even and reproducible deposit of spray over the target area. A method for converting the dose in percentage concentration to quantity per unit area is presented.
