OPERATION THEORY
Utilizing
the principle of "near angle light
scatter", a revolving laser beam passes through the walls
of
a glass container of a flow-thru cell. When it is directed through
a central "sensitive zone" the PC-2300 not only counts
the particles in suspension, but tabulates their size as well.
The
analog signals generated by the light pulses are routed to a computer
and digitized.

CALIBRATION
Spectrex
provides three sealed calibration standards
with each unit. Each standard contains a precise number of NIST
traceable polystyrene spheres of known size in suspension and
are
sealed with inert Argon gas. These standards have a proven stability
of more than 10 years and provide efficient calibration within
10
minutes.

Counting
|
SuperCount
SOFTWARE
Developed by Spectrex, the custom interfacing electronics
and proprietary software provide an easy means of analyzing and saving
data generated by the PC-2300. SuperCount provides instant sizing information
and histogram of size distribution in addition to indicating:
- Absolute
Counts
- Mean
Size
- Mass
Distribution
|
- Percentage
Distribution
- Standard
Deviation
- Total
Suspended Solids
|
The
dilution factor can be automatically computed to give absolute count for
liquids as dense as sludge! SuperCount also is loaded with a special bonus
program for hydraulic fluids* and Phi classifications. OPTIONS
 |
- Opacity Meter
- provides an instantaneous measurement of the sample's opacity to correlate
with computer calculations.
|
 |
- Small Vial
Attachment - for use with 5ml vials or ampules.
|
 |
- Flow-Thru
Cell - Spectrex stocks various sizes of flow-thru cells and can manufacture
cells to customer specifications. Cells are also available for testing
at high pressure and temperatures.
