Why Use Casella Microdust Pro Real-time Dust Monitors?
The Microdust pro from Casella CEL is a portable, real-time monitor for assessing the concentration of suspended particulate matter. It is probably the most versatile instrument available with the ability to measure from 1µgm-3 to 2500 mgm-3. It is the only hand-held real-time dust monitor on the market capable of graphically presenting variations in dust concentration on a real-time scrolling graph - no longer is it necessary to wait to analyse results on a PC.
- Realtime numerical and graphical display of dust levels
- 4 fixed ranges or auto ranging scale
- Handheld rechargeable unit with extendable measuring probe
- Onboard data logging for up to 32 runs
- Complete with onsite field calibration kit
- Range of adaptors and filter available to facilitate sampling for PM10, PM2.5 fractions
How Do Casella Microdust Pro Real-time Dust Monitors Work?
The Microdust pro measures particulate concentrations using a near forward angle light scattering technique.
- Infrared light of 880nm wavelength is projected through the sensing volume where contact with particles causes the light to scatter.
- The amount of scatter is proportional to the mass concentration and is measured by the photo-detector.
- By using a narrow angle of scatter (12-20°) the majority of scattered light is in the diffracted and refracted components
- This minimises the uncertainty associated with particle colour, shape and refractive index.
