How to find the right particle counter

What is a particle counter? Particle counters are useful devices that measure the number of particles of a substance in a given space. These particles can be measured in gases, liquids, mixtures, and more.

Why do we need particle counters?

Particle counters are useful for many different purposes, especially in manufacturing and research facilities and many other industries. They provide support for many safety and cleanliness measures as they are primarily used to identify contaminants in the environment. 

Handheld particle counters are often used in detecting signs of contamination in the environment. The data that particle counters send is useful in many business functions and decisions regarding health and safety measures. They ensure that your rooms, zones, and areas are clean enough to work in according to industry standards.

How to find the right particle counters for your applicationNeed to find a viable particle counter for your business’ needs? You need to take a careful look at which factors will affect your decision. Finding the right particle counter for the task will ensure efficiency.

Here are a few factors that you should look into.

1. Counting efficiency-- One needs to learn the efficiency of the particle counter to determine the concentration of particles in the environment. Most particle counters need to have an efficiency rating of above 50 per cent.

2. Sensitivity of the particle counter-- How sensitive the particle counter is refers to the smallest particle size that the device can detect.

3. Type of environment in which the particle counter will be used-- Which kind of environment will the device be used in? What ISO class?
