PM2.5+PM10 Dichotomous Sampler – APM559 MFC
- Collection of fine (PM-2.5) and coarse fractions of PM-10 on two separate 47 mm filters
- Active flow control system using a mass flow controller. Controls at a rate of 16.67 UM flow.
- The flow rate by the MFC system is actively sensed and controlled at a predetermined set point
- The sampler displays the current volumetric flow rate (L/min), Total Volume, Elapse Time, Coefficient of Variation (CV), Filter Temperature, Filter Pressure, and Barometric Pressure.
- The Sampler has an auto shut-off at the filter choke and a low flow rate
- Data sampled at user-selectable interval of 1-60 minutes and retrieved via a pendrive into Excel format using a simple data transfer command.
Product Description
PM 10 and PM 2.5 MFC Dichotomous Sampler – Advanced Air Quality Monitoring
The PM 10 and PM 2.5 MFC Dichotomous Sampler is a highly efficient instrument used in environmental research and air quality monitoring. It collects airborne particulate matter (PM) and separates it into two specific size ranges: PM 10 and PM 2.5.
Understanding PM 10 and PM 2.5
-
PM 10 refers to particles with diameters of 10 micrometers or smaller.
-
PM 2.5 refers to even finer particles, measuring 2.5 micrometers or less.
These particles pose serious health risks. They can easily enter the respiratory system and may contribute to respiratory or cardiovascular conditions. Therefore, monitoring them is essential.
How the Sampler Works
This device draws air through a series of filters that separate particles by size:
-
A 10-micrometer filter captures the PM 10 fraction.
-
A 2.5-micrometer filter collects the PM 2.5 fraction.
In addition, the sampler includes a Mass Flow Controller (MFC), which maintains a consistent airflow. This ensures more accurate results. Moreover, the virtual impactor uses a split-flow design, allowing it to divide PM 10 aerosols into fine and coarse fractions. These are then deposited on two separate PTFE membrane filters.
After Sampling
Once sampling ends:
-
Filters are removed for weighing.
-
The collected mass of PM is calculated.
As a result, these readings provide vital insights into pollution levels and help evaluate control strategies.
Alternative: APM 555 MFC Sampler
The APM 555 MFC Sampler offers an omnidirectional inlet. This inlet design creates an aerodynamic cut point for particles over 10 microns. Consequently, it is a strong alternative for PM 2.5 monitoring.
