microAeth® / AL80 New
Tech specs
- Measurement Method
- Real-time Aethalometer® method by measuring the rate of change in absorption of transmitted light due to continuous collection of aerosol deposit on filter. Measurement at 880 nm interpreted as concentration of Black Carbon (‘BC’).
- Measurement Wavelength
- 880 nm
- Timebases (User setting)
- To be determined
- Flow Rates (User setting)
- To be determined
- Measurement Range
- 0-1 mg BC/m3, filter life time dependent on concentration and flow rate setting:
- avg. 5 μg BC/m3 for 96 hours @ 100 ml/min
- avg. 100 μg BC/m3 for 12 hours @ 50 ml/min
- avg. 1 mg BC/m3 for 60 minutes @ 50 ml/min
- Measurement Resolution
- 0.001 μg BC/m3
- Pump
- Internal long life brushless diaphragm pump
- Flow Control
- Internal mass flowmeter with closed-loop control
- Filter Material / Capacity
- Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) filter strip material with 1 sampling location per filter
- Sampling
- 6 mm spot created on filter strip containing insert of PTFE filter material. PM2.5 size selective inlet available.
- Environmental Sensors
- Temperature, Relative Humidity, Altimeter/Barometer, Accelerometer
