Automated Particle Counter - Density and Conductivity

This is the portable military hardened submersible / waterproof automated particle counter that also has conductivity and density measurement built in. This Particle Counter is found in the PEAK Kit.  

The Particle counter provides equivalent testing for: ASTM D7619 Particle Counting, ASTM D7777 / D4052 Density and ASTM D2624 Conductivity. 

The particle counter has been built to use the standard military portable batter shown above or can be run from the battery pack found in the PEAK kit, or from wall power. Pictured below the Particle Counter can be ordered to come with the backpack version which is used for example on an aircraft carrier flight deck. The Particle counter has passed testing from -30°C to 50°C and proven it is submersible meaning it can handle operation in any conditions of weather.

Features: 

  • The most mobile particle counter in existence, with a backpack carrying option.
  • The rugged design can withstand extreme weather conditions and still operate effectively.
  • ASTM D7619 Equivalent Accuracy to determine fuel quality.
  • Military Hardened Design tested for field use.
  • Calibrated to ISO 11171 Standards.
  • Compliant with ATPD-2424A.
  • High Resolution Color Display.
  • With Built in Conductivity ASTM D2624 and Density ASTM D7777 / D4502

The Particle Counter Battery (pictured above) is a high-capacity 99Wh, 6.8 Ah Lithium-ion battery. When fully charged, it enables the particle counter to operate continuously for up to 8 hours. With this capacity, it supports a minimum of 200 tests before requiring recharging. Meets IATA guidelines for Air Transport.
