Particle Counters 101

What are particle counters?

 

Particle counters are devices specifically designed to help prevent unwanted particles from impacting cleanrooms or controlled environments. They are utilized in controlled environments every day to monitor the number of particles in the air, identify/reduce contamination and ensure that the environment meets compliance requirements set by industry standards.

A hand-held particle counter is a small, portable and self-contained device easily transported for use within a cleanroom or controlled environment. These devices are able to detect and count physical particles ranging from as small as 0.3 microns up to 10 microns. Hand-held particle counters provide the user with detailed data captured and then indexed on its built-in display screen.Price is often determined by particle size capabilities, the number of air inflow channels, and added features such as air temperature, sample capacity and humidity readings.

Applications of particle counters

 

Angstrom’s selection of particle counters offers an economic solution for professionals who validate ISO cleanrooms 5 or 6 (Class 100 or 1000) and investigate air quality matters.

 

Common applications within the cleanroom:

 

  • Classifying ISO cleanrooms
  • Identify contamination
  • Quality assurance
  • Indoor air quality assessment
  • Verifying equipment performance
  • Testing for filter leaks and efficiency
  • Testing for valve leaks and efficiency
  • Ensures environment or equipment meets compliance requirements set by industry standards

Calibration of a particle counter

 

With most scientific instruments, calibration is recommended once per year to insure normal operation and repeatable performance within the stated accuracy for the instrument. Individual companies may have internal quality plans that require more frequent calibration intervals.

 

For your convenience, Airy Technology offers calibration for their devices.

Visit Airy Technology's Calibration/Damage Request Form to fill out the form for their calibration or repair services.

*Calibration is free but diagnostic/repair services will incur a fee & shipping is not included.
