Fine dispersion of solid or liquid distributed in air, where the particle/droplet size is < 50 μ
PARTICLE SIZE SITE OF DEPOSITION

Larger particles (>10 μ) Upper airways

Moderate size particles (5-10 μ) Conducting airways

Smaller particles (2-5 μ) Lower airways

Very small particles (<2 μ) No site to deposite

NOTE:
Particle size in inhalation aerosols can be
calculated by using,

a) Cascade impactor
b) Light scattered decay
i. CONTAINERS

A) Metal (s)
✓ Withstand a pressure of 140-180 psig at 130ᵒ F

B) Glass
✓ Withstand a pressure of <18 psig at 70ᵒ F

NOTE:
Moisture content in inhalation aerosols can
be determined by using,

a) Karl Fischer Titration


b) Gas Chromatography
ii ) PROPELLANTS

PROPELLANTS

SOLUBLE GAS
e.g., CO₂, N₂O
Spray Pattern Test LIQUIFIED GAS COMPRESSED GAS
(Adv.-Pressure remains constant) (Dis. Adv.-Pressure
decreases as the
product is used ) INSOLUBLE GAS
e.g., N₂, Argon
SPRAY PATTERN TEST

FHCs HCs
Flame Extension Test
(Adv.- Non-Flammable) (Dis.Adv.- Flammable)
e.g., CFCl₃ e.g., Propane
CF₂Cl₂ Butane NOTE:
C₂F₄Cl₂ Isobutane etc Propellants in the aerosol
C₃H₃F₃
product can be identified
FLAMMABILITY TESTS by using,
I. FLAME EXTENSION TEST
II. FLASH POINT METHOD a) Infrared Spectroscopy
Flash Point Method

Gasket
Valve Housing with specific capacity is known as Metered valve
(Buna-N/Neoprene Rubber)
Valve Delivery (in μl) Acceptance (in %)
54 or Less ± 15%
Spring

Diptube (Polyethylene/Polypropylene)
According to Department of Transportation (DOT) guidelines,
following evaluation tests are performed for aerosols

Leakage Test I. Leakage test


II. Measurement of Particle Size
III. Determination of Moisture Content
IV. Identification of Propellants
V. Spray Pattern Test
VI. Flammability Test
Couette type
VII. Determination of Foam Stability
Searl type
Foam Stability of aerosols can determined
(Cup and Bob Viscometers) by using Rotational viscometers. Couette type (Cup in Rotation)
e.g., Mac Michael Viscometer
➢ Cup and Bob Viscometer
➢ Cone and Plate Viscometer
Searl type (Bob in Rotation)
Cone and Plate Viscometer e.g., Stormer Viscometer
Haake Roto Visco Vicsometer
Brookfield Viscometer
