APPLICATIONS
The T-T Smoke Gun is intended for use in air movement studies.
Specific uses include estimating air speed through animal pens or
crates and determining inlet air flow and general air flow patterns.
The dense white smoke produced by the Smoke Gun make it ideal
for this application.
PRODUCT
SAFETY
The T-T Smoke Gun uses titanium tetrachloride to produce smoke. Titanium
tetrachloride is an acid and must be used with caution.
Follow all safety procedures.
When
exposed to moisture in the air, titanium tetrachloride reacts to form
smoke containing small quantities of hydrochloric acid, titanium
oxychloride and titanium oxides. Be aware of any problems that small quantities of these
chemicals may cause in your specific application.
STORAGE
Store products in a cool, dry place.
Any moisture that comes in contact with titanium tetrachloride
will cause the formation of smoke.
Store the Smoke Gun and reload vials in the carrying case
to prevent accidentalaccidental crushing. Exercise caution to prevent damage to or leakage from this
product. Store in a secure
place out of reach of children. Only
those familiar with proper use and safety information should use the
Smoke Gun.
Do
not store the
Smoke Gun near equipment with metal or electronic parts.
Corrosive acid fumes may cause damage over time.
USAGE
GUIDELINES
Use only in a well-ventilated area.
If proper ventilation can not be provided, use a NIOSH approved
acid gas respirator, with dust, mist and fume filters.
Avoid inhaling smoke.
Avoid
contact with smoke. If skin contact occurs, wash affected area with plenty of
soap and water. Abrasive
soaps are most helpful. Eye
protection should always be worn when using these products.
If eyes are affected, flush with water and get medical
