Microdust Pro Particulate Monitor from Casella USA
The Microdust Pro is a rugged, hand-held, data-logging meter for the real time detection of airborne dusts, fumes and aerosols.
It has a large LCD display and a unique graphical facility, allowing the user to instantly view the dust level and trends. It is ideal for walk through surveys of ambient and indoor workplace environments. A quick, easy to use instrument, giving th user additional qualitative data which cannot be gained by gravimetric air sampling methods alone. This extremely versatile instrument can also be used with a range of accessories for static and size selective sampling applications.
Applications
- Construction/demolition sites
- Boundary monitoring
- Occupational health surveys
- Process monitoring
- Filter efficiency testing
- Walk through workplace surveys
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing & testing
- spray booths/power coating
Features
- Unique real time graphical display
- Extensive range from 0.001 to 2500 mg/m3
- Removable sampling probe
- Rugged design for harsh environments
- Multi language operation
- Sampling for Respirable, PM2.5 & PM10
- Field calibration check
- Rechargeable or dry cell operation
Real time graphical display provides instant real time trend analysis, shows graphical & numeric dust levels, is ideal for walk through surveys and enables the user to quickly identify hot spots.
The Microdust Pro can be used in conjunction with an enclosure system allowing the unit to be operated in static monitoring applications. The system integrates the Microdust Pro with a personal air sampling pump. The particulate is passed through the optical sampling chamber and is deposited onto a filter media. This allows users to obtain both real time and gravimetric data. The filtered sample can then be weighed or sent for analysis. PUF size selective sampling foams can be used in conjunction with this system which enables pre selection of PM10, PM2.5 & Respirable particulate fractions.
The Microdust Pro features an internal logger that can store up to 15,700 data points over 32 separate runs. The logging interval can be set from 2 seconds to 10 minutes. At 2 seconds, it is possible to record 8.76 hours of data, at 5 minutes, this equates to a total logging time of 50 days. Recorded values include:
