TSI DustTrak II Handheld Aerosol Monitor
The DustTrak II Aerosol Monitor (model 8532) from TSI is a handheld, battery-operated instrument which provides real-time mass concentration readings for aerosol contaminants. These contaminants include dust, smoke, fumes and mist.
The mass concentration readings of aerosols are determined using a 90° light-scattering laser photometer. The Dustrak II has a built-in pump which allows the use of a range of size-selective inlet conditioners. This includes PM10, PM2.5, PM1, or respirable size fractions. It uses a sheath air system which isolates aerosol in the optics chamber and keeps the optics clean for improved reliability.
The aerosol monitor is suitable for use in a range of environments, from harsh industrial workplaces to clean office settings. The 8532 model can be used for single-point data collection for walk-through surveys, for industrial hygiene or for indoor air quality investigations.
The Dustrak II has a datalogging function which can be controlled manually, or can be programmed. Data can be analysed using TrakPro Data Analysis software
