Hand-Held Particle Concentration Meter/Particle
Counter
- Simple on/off operation
- Rugged design for field use
- One switch, one display, quick results
This hand-held unit is available as a Particle Concentration
Meter or as a Particle Counter. For either purpose it can
be used to count particles larger than .5 microns or larger
or .3 microns at a flow rate of 0.1 cfm. All you do is turn
it on, check the display and turn it off. Walk around the
room, scan a filter and watch the particle concentration change.
Measuring filter effectiveness, checking cleanroom status
and trouble-shooting contamination has never been this easy
and fast.
Particle Concentration Meter Operation
When the Particle Concentration Meter is turned on, it samples
air for six seconds before displaying the number of particles
per cubic foot (or per liter). Every six seconds the display
is updated. Sampling air for six seconds at a flow rate of
0.1 cfm (2.83 lpm) results in a sample size of 1/100th of
a cubic foot of air (.283 l). The particles in this sample
are counted and multiplied by 100 to yield the number of particles
per cubic foot. This method has the advantages of fast count
results and direct readout of particle concentration.
Particle Counter Operation
When the Particle Counter is turned on, it immediately starts
counting and the display is updated continuously as particles
are detected. After counting for one minute, the Particle
Counter holds the count on the display until power is turned
off. This one-minute sample displays the number of particles
in 0.1 cubic feet of air (2.83 l). Counting will begin again
when the power is turned back on.
A Wide Variety of Applications
These counters have proven themselves in many settings. Medical
industries can monitor their air filter systems for pathogen-sized
particles. Filter manufacturers can test filter effectiveness.
Cleanroom industries can perform quick status checks of cleanrooms.
Heating, ventilation and air conditioning personnel can determine
indoor air quality.
The counters are shipped with a power module for recharging
the batteries and an accessory kit containing an isokinetic
probe, a 115V power supply, and a .2 micron purge filter assembly.
Both types of counters detect discrete particles using a laser-based
sensor. Order the unit you need to count particles greater
than .3 microns or .5 microns from the ordering table below.
Note: Both models below include
an isoprobe, power supply, purge filter and calibration certificate.
Counters should be recalibrated about once a year; see ordering
information.
Prices on particle counters are good for domestic (US) orders
only.
