Forchecking lead, air filterswill placedby the firm/OEMat the firersend and at severalpoints down rangeduring firing in the range.An air samplewill alsobe takenfrom the placesabove wherefilters are placed.The amount of leadcollected in thesefilters will then be measuredat a laboratorycertified by the CentralPollution Control Board (CPCB) and NationalAccreditation Boardfor Testingand CalibrationLaboratories (NABL). Lab/(s) will be identifiedby the OEM/firm and chosen by the NSG for trials. The lead-in-airassessment should be lesserthan 50 microgramsper metercube of air. 4. In casethe procedure/technologyabove is not availablein India,a suitablemethod/technology specifiedby the selectedlab will be chosenin consultationwith user,vendor and lab reps' 5. Smoketest. Usingeither a smoketube or smokecandle, observe air flow currentsand patterns throughoutthe range.This should identify disturbances and directionof airflow.Unnecessary personnelshould not be present in the range or near the supply air plenum during the assessment.Prior to activatingthe tube or candle,ensure that the ventilationsystem is on and operating.lf a smokecandle is used,a coffeecan with sometype of a handlefabricated (pliers) shouldbe usedto handlethe candle.At the firingline, smoke test eachfiring station (booth)' Testfrom the floor to about 6 foot level.Observe the smoke pattern.The smokeshould move down rangeand demonstratelaminar flow. Documentunusual smoke patterns or wheresmoke swirlsand returns to the shooter'sposition. Eddies or swirlsnear the floor,or otherobstructions are a concernand shouldbe noted.lf turbulenceis observed,air velocitiesmay be highin that area.Note that airvelocity measurements conducted later in thisarea may not truly indicatethe directionof the flow (turbulenceand eddiesmay haveflow directionsother than down range but will be reflectedonly as a measuredvalue). Conduct additional smoke measurements down rangeto ensureadequate air velocitiesand patternsare maintaineddown rangetowards the bulletstop. 6. Measurethe crosssectional area for the rangeand calculatethe necessaryvolumetric air flow' Measurethe ceilingheight and width of the rangeat the firingline. a 2 7. Air Flow' At the firing line, place the probe (or a grid meter if available)so that it is perpendicularto the floor at thefiring line. Make sure no unnecessarypersonnel are present or nearthe supply air plenum duringthe assessment.Take three measurements at the samelevel in threelocations from the floor:approximately 1 foot (pronelevel firing); approximately 3 feet (kneelingposition); andapproximately 5 feet (standing position). This will result in g readingsfor eachfiring position (or threegrid meter readings). Average the 9 (or3) readingsand appty to the design - criteria(50 75 feet per minute,with preferencefor 75 feet per minute).optional measurements may be conducteddown rangeat the 1, 3 and 5 foot highlevels to ensure adequate airvelocities are maintained (30 - 50feet per minute). This can be conducted at j.5to 20 foot intervals.Again note that many ranges were designed to havemultiple exhaust points downrange. 8. StaticPressure Measurements. Since it is desirableto havethe rangeunder negative pressure relatedto otheroccupied spaces, static pressure measurements should be conducted in oneof two ways.A manometeror magnahelicgauge can be usedto checkthe pressurein relationto areasoutside the range.A hosecan be placedoutside the door(careful not to crimp)with at least6 inchesof the hoseoutside the door.The result can be compared to thedesired criterion level(-0.04 + 0.02inches water gauge). Another way to ensurerange negative pressure is to use thesmoke tube at allentrances or openingsinto the range(doors may need to be "cracked"a littleto demonstrate.Smoke should enter into the rangefrom outside areas. Excessive negative pressurewill makedoors difficult to open(or to keepclosed) and can be a safetyhazard (slammingdoors [-0.05-0.10inches water gauge]). Excessive negative pressure also indicates insufficientsupply air for the amount being exhausted. L Thevalues of Leadair flow and pressure will be measured by a laboratorycertified by CpCB and NABL,specified by the user,at the costof the vendor., Appendix,G, (RefPara 1.0 of TrialDirectives) 1. Noisecharacteristics. Testswill be carriedout by a national/internationallab, specified by the user at the costof thevendor for:- (a) AmbientNoise Levels without firing. (b) Noiselevet during firing. (c) Reverberationcharacteristics. 2. The procedure for the abovetests will be as per internationalnorms. A pre-testmeeting to coordinatethe procedurewill be heldbetween the user,vendor and lab representatives. 3. EarMuffs. All fifty earmuffs supplied will be wornby firers in the practicescarried out to checkthe systems.The ear muffs should dampen the soundof firinginside closed CISR to comfortablelevels for the firerfor both individualfirers as well asfor entiredetachments. Orders will be givenby an instructorto individualfirers as well as entire detachments. These orders should be clearlyaudible to firer/(s)whilethey are wearing ear muffs. 4.
