Particle counter, PCE-MPC 10, PCE Instruments

PCE-MPC 10 is a portable handheld particle counter used to monitor particulate matter (PM) concentrations in the air. Designed to aid in indoor air quality (IAQ) assessments, this particle counter also measures air temperature and relative humidity (RH). The particle counter can be powered either by the rechargeable battery or the USB port. The USB port also is used to charge the battery. The particle counter takes measurements even while the battery is charging, allowing for uninterrupted IAQ monitoring. The integrated data logger has an adjustable sampling time of 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes or 5 minutes, while the internal memory stores up to 5000 date-and-time-stamped data sets.

The particle counter displays all measurements simultaneously on the device's 2" full-color LCD screen. Temperature units can be shown in either degrees Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F). A scale below the measured values provides a visual warning via a band of colors increasing from green (safe) to violet (extreme danger). This visual color-coding system makes it easy to recognize when PM concentration levels become dangerous, allowing for quick action. When inhaled, PM 2.5 and PM 10 particles can settle deep into the lungs and result in damaging health effects. Since the PCE-MPC 10 particle counter monitors PM 2.5 and PM 10 particles, the device has many practical health and safety applications. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) technicians use PM 2.5 and PM 10 particle counters for HVAC system performance and filtration audits. In addition, industrial hygienists and workplace safety professionals rely on PM 2.5 and PM 10 particle counters when evaluating occupational health and safety risks related to hazardous and combustible dust.
