Description
The Pegasor PPC diesel exhaust particulate monitor is an amazing new generation portable instrument capable of being used for many industry applications. It’s optimized for diesel and petrol engine exhaust particulate measurements and allows compliance testing in accordance with various global standards. This unit may be used for stack particulate analysis and various other applications and is it is uniquely capable of measuring particulates from as low as 10nm up to 1,000nm (1um) in size.
Developed in Finland, the Pegasor PPC uses ExtDC technology to eliminate soot clogging. The straight-through-design keeps the sensor clean for extended operating periods. It’s absolutely feature packed, with the latest communications options, Bluetooth wireless connectivity and much more.
The Pegasor PPC covers a wide particle size range, requires no consumables (unlike many similar systems), requires no flammable and costly operating liquids, requires no dilution, is extremely low maintenance and requires calibration typically every 2 years versus every 12 months or sooner with many similar instruments. And most importantly, this technology is fully portable and affordable for the average customer to purchase.
What it Measures
- Particle number as particles per cubic cm from 10nm to 1,000nm (1um)
- Particle number in accordance with European NPTI regulations (23nm to 1um)
- Lung deposited surface area (LDSA) from 10nm to 1,000nm (1um)
- Particle mass displayed in ug/m3 from 10nm to 300nm (0.3um)
- Particle size (median particle size measurement) from 10nm to 300nm (0.3um)
