Lingerman is an indicator that reflects the blackness (concentration) of boiler smoke and dust! The Ringmann chart is used to measure the level of smoke blackness, with a total of 6 levels, ranging from 0 to 5. On a white background, use small black squares to represent it. When the white area is 100%, it is level 0. When the black area is 20%, it is level 1. When the black area is 40%, it is level 2. Similarly, 60% is level 3, 80% is level 4, and 100% is level 5.

        Regarding Lingerman's basic definition:

        Lingerman is an indicator that reflects the blackness (concentration) of boiler smoke and dust! The Ringmann chart is used to measure the level of smoke blackness, with a total of 6 levels, ranging from 0 to 5. On a white background, use small black squares to represent it. When the white area is 100%, it is level 0. When the black area is 20%, it is level 1. When the black area is 40%, it is level 2. Similarly, 60% is level 3, 80% is level 4, and 100% is level 5.

        The usage method of the Lingerman smoke concentration meter: The observer stands at a distance of about 40 meters from the chimney (with no obstacles between the observer and the chimney), and the Lingerman chart is erected at a distance of some distance from the observer. The size of this distance depends on the observer's vision, usually 15 meters is better. After placing it, compare the smoke color with the blackness of the board to determine the concentration of smoke and dust in the smoke.

        The application of Ringmann blackness: The application of Ringmann blackness has a long history, and what we are familiar with is the detection of fixed pollution source exhaust gas blackness, which is also the detection of boiler dust blackness. This is usually done using a basic Ringmann blackness chart.
