AIRNET 310 PARTICLE COUNTER
Purpose of Participation
- Particle counter in four size channels. Channel thresholds (µm): 0.3, 0.5, 1.0 and 5.0.
Instrument description
The Airnet 310 particle counter offers a full range of sizing sensitivities starting at 0.2 microns. Flow rates are available at 0.1 or 1.0 CFM for sampling in different areas. Four channels are available to enable an operator to analyze specific sizes of interest.
