Particulate samples using a modified LA Sampling Train were obtained from five J52-P-8B, three J52-P-6B 3nd one each of J52-P-A08, TF30-P-6C and TF30-P-408 gas turbine engines. The samples obtained were divided into solid particulates, solvent soluble material and water soluble material. Results indicate that smokeless combustors in the J52 engine reduce particulates by 20 percent. Results of TF30 tests are inconclusive because of limited sampling. The impact of smokeless combustor on stationary source regulations was also assessed.
