Abstract
Provided is a method and metering system for the determination of active ions emitted from certain active substances such as rayon fibers containing fine particles of tourmaline known to exhibit permanent spontaneous polarization. The method comprises: continuously bringing air free from carbon dioxide as a carrier gas into contact with a bed of the active ion-emitting source material to carry off the active ions emitted therefrom; introducing the air after contact with the source material into distilled water; and measuring increase in the electric conductivity of the distilled water caused by the absorption of the active ions from the flow of the air as a carrier gas. The metering system comprises: a feed source of the non-ionic inert gas; a sample holder to contain the source material emitting active ions; a vessel containing distilled water to receive the air carrying the active ions; a means to determine the electric conductivity of the water; and pipelines connecting these parts for the flow of air.
