Product catalog summary
Product Description
The LAP 322 series of Laser Aerosol Particle Size Spectrometers are designed for measuring, characterizing, and monitoring aerosol particles by concentration and size distribution. These spectrometers provide high-resolution particle size distribution by analyzing signals from individual particles, adhering to VDI guideline 3867, sheet 4, and ISO 21501-1 standards.

Measuring Method
The LAP 322 uses optical particle counters to classify and count particles based on light scattering intensity. This method offers high sensitivity and accuracy, allowing simultaneous determination of particle size and concentration in aerosols. The series is noted for its high classification accuracy and resolution.

Special Advantages
  • High size resolution with up to 128 channels
  • Wide size range (0.2 to 40 µm)
  • Wide concentration range (up to 104 particles/cm³)
  • No border zone error
  • Long service life with laser diode (>20,000 hours)
  • User-friendly PASWin software
  • Compact design suitable for mobile use

Applications
  • Particle size distribution determination (sprays, dusts, powders, oil mists)
  • Test and calibration aerosol analysis
  • Ambient air aerosol measurement
  • Filter testing and classification
  • Pharmaceutical aerosol characterization
  • Oil mist separator measurements

Measuring Arrangement
The LAP 322 employs a 90° light scattering technique for single particle counting in high concentration aerosols. This design ensures effective particle separation and homogeneous illumination without border zones.

Calibration
Calibration is performed using monodisperse test aerosols, classifying scattered light intensities into 128 classes. The internal calibration function is based on primary data.

Principle
The spectrometer is advantageous for inhalation-toxicological experiments, time-resolved aerosol measurements, environmental studies, and more. It supports continuous determination and recording of fractional collection efficiencies.

Specifications

A particle size spectrometer produces a particle size distribution with very high resolution generated by the analysis of signals extracted from each individual particle detected within the instruments measurement range. (VDI guideline 3867, sheet 4 and ISO 21501-1). Measuring Method Optical particle counters are single particle measuring instruments which classify and count the number and size of particles dependent on the intensity of the light scattered by them. This method classifies the physical measurable sizes (the particle features). It provides high sensitivity and accuracy combined with fast quantity assessment. The LAP 322 series allows the simultaneous determination of particle size (represented by the scattered light equivalent diameter) and the number of particles within an concentrated aerosol. Instruments in this series are characterised by high classification accuracy and excellent resolution. 51-h l m ■ m ו LAP 322 with Sample Switching Unit SYS 520
