Used PMS LPS-8-2 #23424 for sale

PMS LPS-8-2 is a light-scattering particle counter designed for measuring particle concentrations in many situations. It measures particle sizes ranging from 0.3 to >25 microns and can be used as a low-volume particle counter in real-time monitoring systems and digital pumps. The device uses an advanced optical design consisting of 2 lenses, a light source, an imaging system, a light detector, and digital processing electronics. The optics create a focused light beam that passes back and forth through an 'optical window' on the flow cell body. As particles flow through the cell, they scatter the light, and the imaging system captures an image of the particles as small points of light. The digital processor then determines particle size and concentration. The flow cell body of LPS-8-2 is designed to mount in a variety of positions and angles. The device allows for a modular configuration, allowing for connection directly with a variety of pumps and tubing for sampling. It also includes a built-in data logging function, allowing for storing and trend viewing of particle concentration data. The device can be operated in a variety of modes including a Constant Flow Rate mode, a Directed Flow Rate mode, Real-Time mode, and for special applications, a Precision Mass Mode. In Constant Flow Rate mode, an externally regulated pressure regulator is used to maintain a constant flow rate. In Directed Flow Rate mode, the pressure can be adjusted from the control panel to obtain a specific flow rate. In Real-Time mode, the pressure regulator is bypassed, and only a constant back pressure is required behind the flow cell body. The volume of flow through the cell is actually controlled by the flow rate into the cell. The device is designed to operate under a variety of environmental conditions, including vibration, temperature, dust, and humidity. The unit has a built-in heated element to help keep humidity and moisture out of the interior components, and the optical window is designed to be scratch- and dust-resistant to ensure accurate measurements. PMS LPS-8-2 particle counter offers a reliable and efficient way to measure the concentration of particles over a wide range of sizes. Its flexible design allows for a variety of uses, including remote monitoring systems, digital pumps, and other specialized applications where accurate and precise particle measurement is required.
