| Particle Size and Concentration Measurements for Real-Time Process Applications: |
| The Process Metrix PPC (Process Particle Counter) is designed to provide in-situ measurements of airborne particles for low concentration (< 5 gm/m3) industrial gas/particle flow systems. This sensor is capable of providing particle concentration, size distribution, and velocity information in hostile environments. PPC can (when enclosed in a water-jacketed probe) measure in gas temperatures up to 1400C or high pressures (up to 100 ATM) in extractive mode. Measurements at combined high temperature and pressure (400C and 20 Atm) have also been achieved. |
