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
- Easy-To-Use
- 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.
