Malvern Panalytical – Particle Characterization – Parsum Range
Inline probe that uses spatial filter velocimetry for particle size measurement
Parsum Probes use Spatial Filter Velocimetry to deliver in situ, real-time size and velocity measurements for solid particles suspended in a pneumatic or gravity flow gas stream. Robust, dustproof and waterproof they measure particles in the size range 50-6000 µm with velocities from 0.01-50 m/s and are suitable for any industrial environment.Technical Specifications
