Laser Photometer 8587A

Product Details

The model 8587A laser photometer uses the same photometer engine that is used in the Automated Filter Tester model 8130A. It uses a 30 mW laser to illuminate and collect the scattered light from airborne particles. An internal valve allows switching between upstream and downstream sampling.

Applications

• Respirator certification testing (fit testing)
• Efficiency testing of HEPA filter assemblies
• Respirator design and development
• Filter design and development
• Aerosol laboratory research
