Aeroqual - S500-PM

General Description

The Aeroqual series 500 is a handheld monitor that can be used with a wide range of gas sensor and particulate matter sensor heads. The sensor head used in this AQ-SPEC field evaluation is the particulate matter (PM) head that provides real-time measurements of PM_2.5 and PM­₁₀ mass concentrations.

Principle of Operation

The Aeroqual Series 500-PM sensor uses a laser particle counter which uses a light scattering method to size and count particles and then convert particle numbers to mass concentrations through proprietary algorithms. The sensors come factory calibrated.
