Particle Measurement

We supply many instruments and devices that are used for particle measurements. They can be used for measuring particle number, mass and LDSA concentration. Additionally, they can be used to measure particle size and size distribution.

Below are a number of options for particle measurements. Alternatively, contact us here and we will assist you in choosing the best instrument for your project.

DEKATI® High Resolution ELPI®

The Dekati® High Resolution ELPI®+ is the replacement model for the widely used ELPI®+ instrument. The High Resolution ELPI®+ utilizes a data inversion algorithm that gives real-time particle size distribution in up to 500 size classes 6 nm – 10 μm. 

Other features include:

  • Wide particle sample concentration range
  • Robust structure
  • Possibility to characterize chemical composition of size classified particles after the real-time measurement
  • Data Analysis Tool software that makes data analysis and visualization fast and easy for the instrument operator
  • Particle number, LDSA and mass concentration (6nm-2.5 μm) calculations

DEKATI® MPEC+™

New to the range is the  Dekati® MPEC+™ (Mobile Particle Emission Counter). This is a compact and mobile unit that can be used for easy onboard PN-PEMS measurements. Utilising the patented Dekati® ePNC™ particle counting technology this instrument is capable of fast transient emission measurements. This device has been extensively tested to ensure that it always offers optimal performance in even the harshest of driving and climate conditions making it robust and reliable.

Some of the devices important features are detailed below:

  • PN measurement performance in accordance with EURO 6 RDE (EU RDE Directive 2017/1154)
  • Fast time response
  • Up to 10 Hz sampling frequency
  • Integrated accelerometer
  • Low power consumption, standard 230 VAC power supply, with 24 VDC as an option
  • Built-in interface and monitoring for heated sampling line
  • Readiness for up to 2 thermocouple inputs
  • Input for external voltage signal trigger to start/stop measurements
  • Dedicated low-loss water separator
  • USB-C slot for data and communication interface and USB-A slot for external memory card

PEGASOR Particle Counter PPC

The Pegasor PPC unit is a stand alone measurement system for particle emission monitoring applications. This is an easy to install system that is powered by the Pegasor PPS-G2 particle sensor, meaning it is capable of fast and reliable testing of particle emissions from engine/ vehicle tailpipes or other emission sources. The system fulfils all requirements and recommendations set by the European regulations for measuring particle number concentration from vehicle exhausts in PTI applications; besides this, it is equally suited for any other exhaust/emission monitoring applications.

The PPC system has been designed for high temperature measurement applications, boasting several features allowing direct measurements from 200 °C:

  • The PPS-G2 sensor is heated and operates at elevated temperatures
  • An additional Volatile Particle Remover (VPR) is included to ensure efficient removal of VOCs and humidity from the sample
  • These elements together mean that no sample dilution is required, resulting in improved reliability.
  • All electronic components are insulated to ensure reliable measurements, even in high tempertaures
  • A heated sampling line is included as standard, so connection to the source is easily achieved.

Above all else, the Pegasor PPC is user friendly and doesn’t require constant supervision during use due to the inbuilt self-diagnostics.

All these features make the PPC sensor and ideal choice to monitor ultrafine particles, even in the harshest of conditions.
