…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?
PMS outlines the basic methods of reporting data from aerosol particle counters and understanding how to appropriately apply data conversions.
Wet process equipment contains many components that are potential sources of particle contamination, and the ability to troubleshoot highly contaminating components in real-time without the need for offline laboratory analysis offers a significant benefit to equipment manufacturers.
