    Delta 3000 fog machine. Thus, by arranging the blocking and choreography such that an actor is not situated within the restricted areas during the times specified in Table 2 and Figures 7 to 10, actors should not receive peak exposures.

  • Page 6: Ii. Testing Methodology

    The six tripods were placed at distances ranging from 5 to 30 feet from the Delta 3000 release point for the 100% and 50% settings, and at distances ranging from 3 to 18 feet for the 10% setting. The Delta 3000 was turned on for 30 to 60 seconds, allowing sustained smoke generation to occur, and then turned off.

    For 100% and 50% settings, monitoring data collected using aerosol monitors placed at distances of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 feet from the Delta 3000 machine were combined with the calibration factors to determine the levels of smoke at different distances from the release point and times following the release.

    Table 2 has elapsed following the end of the cue. For example, if a production is using the Delta 3000 at a 50% setting with Stage & Studio fluid, an actor should not be situated within five feet from the front of the cue release point until at least 50 seconds following the end of the cue release;...

  • Page 19 = adjustment factor (unitless) = release duration (sec) For using the Rosco Delta 3000 at release durations that differ from those on which the T&D Guideline report was based, the T&D guideline value from Table 2 can be multiplied by the 274 Main Street C P.O.

Using Rosco Clear Fog Fluid with the Delta 3000 at a 10% setting, Table 2 from the T&D Guideline report gives a value of 130 SECONDS at 6 feet from the release point.
