Title Misting of eye protectors
Bibliographic information June 1987, Vol.9, No.1, p.11-25. Illus. 2 ref.
Abstract A method of quantifying the resistance of eye protection to misting is described. Using the method, the quantity of air required to pass through the protectors to prevent misting under various conditions has been determined. Many types of eye protection have been tested and criteria for resisting misting established. Several designs of goggles are proposed that resist misting under most conditions of use.
