Features You Should Look For In Particle Counters
Particle counters are used in industries to detect, count, and size physical particles. Depending on the type of particle counter, it can be used on aerosols, liquids, and solids. This device has many functions in the production and control of goods and services-- from detecting environmental hazards to testing in water quality equipment to measuring the number of materials or substances in products.
Why use particle counters?
In many industries, most notably in pharmaceuticals or research, the measurement of minute substances is key to finishing tasks. Some products can also be sensitive to contamination or other external factors. Thus, measuring or controlling the number of particles of certain gases, liquids, or solids is important to the production cycle.
Choosing the right particle counter
Many people often make choices according to specification (Is this particle counter portable? Does it have the necessary features? What is its price range?). They are two aspects that you have to put into consideration, but it’s necessary to delve into more specific features so you can choose the best one for the job. Here are some features you need to look into.
- How sensitive the particle counter is. This pertains to how many particles it can count and the smallest particle size it can detect.
- Portability. If you need to measure particles in several key areas, how portable is your particle counter?
- How efficient it is. Counting efficiency is how close the particle counter is to the true number of particles in the space. Efficient particle counters should have a high rate when it comes to counting.
- Cost of maintenance. More highly sensitive devices are more likely to have higher maintenance costs, but are a more worthwhile investment to make.
