This paper discusses the current methods used to test electrostatic pulverised fuel meters in a laboratory environment and the precautions to be taken to ensure that ‘meaningful’ results are obtained. In particular, the effect of particle attrition is discussed and results presented from a laboratory test facility at the University of Teesside.
