How a particle travels along tubing between a sample inlet and the particle counter is made messy by a host of physical forces. It’s so messy, validating this sample tubing can be difficult. So what are these forces, what are the losses, and what are the acceptable results? The Forces…
Regardless of manufacturer, the technology behind these devices uses the principle of light scattering. In this blog, we look inside the equipment to see how particle counters work.
…inside a cleanroom we could measure flakes of skin, small pieces of silicon or metal, or fungal spores… Most particles are non-uniform in structure, and this poses a question: How is the size qualified?
Paul Hartigan sits down with Blu Buquoy, both of Particle Measuring Systems (PMS), to discuss the new Lasair Pro airborne particle counter. Topics covered include an overview of the instrument and its features, how it meets the most up to date industry needs including regulatory requirements for calibration and data integrity, why the product was built and more.
