TSI AM520 SidePak Aerosol and DPM Analyser for Total Airbody Monitoring

Part Number: 73-2250

AM520 SidePak

The SidePak AM520 Personal Aerosol Monitor is a small, portable, battery operated, data-logging, light-scattering laser photometer that provides real-time aerosol mass concentration readings of dusts, fumes, mists, smoke and fog within a worker’s breathing zone.

List of Benefits

Robust impactors for higher mass concentration range
Audible and visual alarms
0.8μm DPM impactor
PM5 China respirable size fraction impactor
High capacity battery
Colour OLED display
Real-time measurement enables data-logging for “in-the-field” data analysis
User selectable alarm levels
Push button menu operation OR programmable through TrakPro v5 Software

Newly designed inlet conditioners increase the mass concentration capability and provide size fraction cut points for PM10, Respirable (PM4), PM5 (China Respirable), PM25, PM1 and 0.8μm Diesel Particulate Matter (DPM). Real-time measures and evaluates without delay, facilitating immediate feedback and corrective action within the workplace. This means no more waiting for sampling data to be returned from the analytical lab.The AM520 is the perfect solution for real-time, personal aerosol sampling in a variety of workplace environments, including but not limited to: general industry, foundries, construction sites, chemical plants, refineries, petrochemical, power and utilities, transportation, aerospace, maritime, confined space and mining.
