Handheld Airborne Particle Counters

Handheld Airborne Particle Counters, often abbreviated as HAPCs, are portable devices used to measure and quantify the concentration of airborne particles in various environments. These particles can include dust, pollen, smoke, aerosols, and other contaminants suspended in the air. HAPCs play a crucial role in maintaining indoor air quality, assessing the effectiveness of air filtration systems, monitoring cleanrooms, evaluating occupational health hazards, and conducting environmental research.


Key features and components of Handheld Airborne Particle Counters include:


Particle Sensing Technology: HAPCs use various sensing technologies to detect and classify particles based on their size and/or count. Common technologies include laser-based particle counters, light scattering, and light obscuration. These sensors can detect particles across a range of sizes, typically from a few nanometers to tens of micrometers.


Size Channels: HAPCs often have multiple size channels that allow particles to be categorized into different size ranges, typically referred to as particle size bins or channels. This provides a more detailed analysis of the particle distribution, allowing users to identify specific size ranges of concern.


Sampling Method: Handheld particle counters use a sampling mechanism, such as an inlet or a fan, to draw air into the device where the particles are then counted and measured. The sampling rate and volume are important factors in obtaining accurate measurements.
