Tel-Tru Smoke
Sticks from E Vernon Hill are one of the most convenient
and widely used small volume tracer smoke sources. Smoke
Sticks use titanium tetrachloride which combines with atmospheric
moisture to form a dense, persistent white smoke. To use, simply
hold the Smoke Stick vertically and crush the end of the cotton
swab with pliers. This produces a continuous stream of smoke, about
three to four times as much as from a cigarette, for about ten
minutes.
Smoke Sticks can be taped to a pole to check air behavior around
ceiling diffusers and other hard-to-get-at places.
- Indefinite Shelf Life with Proper
Storage

- Widely used by professionals for
over fifty years
Smoke Stick
Applications
Smoke Sticks are
intended for use in air movement studies. The dense white
smoke produced by Smoke Sticks make them ideal for checking drafts
around doors and windows, chimneys and ductwork. Great for
testing air movement in fume hoods, pharmaceutical processes,
printing presses, packaging systems and more.
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.
Usage Guidelines
Use only in a
well-ventilated area. Avoid inhaling
smoke.
