PCE-PCO 2 Particle Counter
The PCE-PCO 2 particle counter is a portable handheld air sampler designed to measure particulate matter (PM) concentrations in the air. It provides reliable and comprehensive measurements for indoor air quality (IAQ) assessments. In addition to particle counts, the device measures environmental parameters such as air temperature, dew point, and relative humidity, offering detailed air analysis.
Applications and Importance
- Performs precise measurements to determine exposure levels to exhaust gases, smoke, and other harmful air pollutants.
- Ideal for monitoring concentrations of combustible and respirable dust such as agricultural dust, carbon dust, chemical dust, metal dust, plastic dust, and wood dust.
- Used in sectors like combustion, manufacturing, energy production, vehicle engine emissions, and construction to evaluate health impacts of fine dust particles.
- Provides both particle count and mass concentration measurement capabilities.
- Measures particles sized PM2.5, PM10 and 0.3, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, and 10 micrometers (µm) with high accuracy.
- Offers cumulative, differential, and concentration-based counting modes to suit different measurement needs.
- Includes integrated sensors for temperature and humidity measurements.
- Features a rear camera to link measurement data with photo and video documentation.
- Analyzes air quality in areas with heavy traffic and high pollution, contributing to the prevention of health risks.
- 2.8-inch TFT full-color LCD screen clearly displays measurement results for easy readability.
- Automatic shut-off function saves power.
- Measures air temperature, humidity, dew point, and wet bulb temperature, providing comprehensive data for air quality analysis. These environmental parameters directly affect particle density, distribution, and airborne residence time.
Health and Industrial Significance
- Measures airborne dust concentrations widely present in industries such as agriculture, chemical, pharmaceutical, furniture, textile, energy production, recycling, and metal processing.
- Helps prevent explosion risks and health problems caused by combustible dust.
- Exposure to particles can cause skin and eye irritation, respiratory diseases, asthma, bronchitis, and some cancers.
- Tracking PM2.5 and PM10 particles is critical for protecting lung health.
- Trusted by HVAC technicians, industrial hygienists, and occupational safety professionals.
