In our previous blog in this series, we learned about the many forces that can act on a particle when it travels through tubing. Now, let’s take a look at how we can mitigate these forces on our particle data. Isokinetic Particle Sampling The first way to ensure reliable, accurate data…
In our previous blog we learned about ways to mitigate particle losses in transport tubing from the sampling inlet near a critical point in a process, to the particle counter. Here, we’ll learn about the ways in which some losses are there to stay.
ISO 21501-4 is the recognized standard for optical particle counter calibration. In this blog, we look at the basics of the ISO 21501-4 standard for those new to particle counter calibration. Why do I need to care about ISO 21501-4? Your aerosol particle counter is going to need calibration…
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? Particle Physics…
