This photometer features a reliable laser diode that produces constant laser
power, so aerosol concentration measurements remain stable over a long
period of time. A sheath-air design keeps the optics clean for low background
levels and also minimizes maintenance requirements. The 8587A utilizes
an internal switching valve to measure both the upstream and downstream
aerosol concentration. A special high-speed “purge” mode shortens the purge
time when switching between upstream and downstream measurements.
program to give you complete flexibility in test protocol and database
management. All of these features combine to make the 8587A ideally
suited for custom filter testing applications.
