Optical Particle Counter (OPC)

OPC installed on RCS in Deosai is manufactered by FAI.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

- Characterization of the temporal trends of the particulate matter granulometric distribution as a support and integration to information about air quality

Real-time estimation of the PM1, PM2.5, PM10, TPS mass concentration of the airborne particulate matter

Main features

- Measurement principle: laser scattering on elliptical mirror

- Optical channels: 8 optical channels with thresholds having lower limits [µm]: 0.28, 0.4, 0.5, 0.7, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, 5.0

- Sampling type: The instrument gives counts per minute, or counts per liter for each optical channel

Dimensional sensitivity: 0.28 µm (50 ± 10% count efficiency)
