Abstract:

This document contains the classification, technical description and laboratory evaluation of five commercial detectors for explosives' effluents. It includes an outline of operating principles, test and evaluation procedures. The evaluation is based on laboratory tests at TSC, tests at Logan Airport and in another government laboratory. The five detectors are the Varian Chemical Vapor Analyzer (mass spectrometer), Franklin GNO Plasma Chromatograph, Panametric Panateck 3000 Leak Detector (Electron Capture Detector), Hydronautics Vapor Trace Analyzer (gas chromatograph) and RPC bioluminescence detector. The descriptive and technical details of the five commercial detectors are summarized in Appendix A. The results of a novel investigation to determine the mass spectrometer signature of dynamite effluent are preseented in Appendix B.
