Piezobalance Dust Monitor - 3520 Series
The unique PIEZOBALANCE DUST MONITOR directly measures particle mass using advanced technology, perfect for oil mist monitoring. The Kanomax 3521 has 4 and 10µm impactors, while the 3522 has a 2.5µm impactor. Unlike standard particle counters, it “weighs” particles by measuring crystal frequency change as particles stick to it, revealing their actual mass. Provides direct mass concentration of particulates using PIEZOBALANCE technology; ideal especially for oil mist monitoring.
How?
The Kanomax 3521 is equipped with 4 and 10µm impactors while the 3522 is equipped with a 2.5µm impactor.
Unlike conventional dust meters, which count particles, a piezobalance dust meter like the 3521 or 3522 “weighs” mass concentration of particulates.
As an air sample enters the system, it travels through the impactor, which captures and removes larger particulates away from the sample.
Smaller particulates become electrically charged and deposited on the piezo-crystal.
Why?
The total mass of the deposited particulates affects the piezo-crystal’s frequency.
Since the change in frequency is proportional to the mass of the particulates, the actual weight of the particulates is obtained.
