A heterodyne interferometer is used photon Doppler velocimetry (PDV) method to study a particle discharge from the free surface of lead samples of different roughness under a shock-wave load. In experiments, the velocity of the free surface of samples and the dust flow velocity are determined, and indicator foils and thin glasses are used to calculate the specific weight of the dust. Dependences of the specific weight of particles on their relative velocity are constructed. Effects of roughness and phase state of the substance after a shock-wave load on the possibilities to determine the velocity of the free surface and the specific weight of discharged particles using indicator foils are analyzed. It is shown that, with given surface roughness, the specific weight of dust, discharged from the surface during lead melting under the action of a shock wave or load wave, is much larger than in a sample being in a solid state.
