1.6 ecom-EN3, Option hand soot pump set
Hand soot pump set
In order to perform a soot measurement in the flue gas from oil firing systems, a hand soot
pump can be used.
By a prescribed number of suction strokes with the hand soot pump, a defined amount of flue
gas is drawn through an inserted filter paper. On the basis of the deposited amount of soot
on the filter paper (blackening), it is possible to compare optically with a scale, which is the
soot number. This makes it possible to evaluate the amount of soot in the flue gas.
Hint
The hand soot pump is TÜV tested and characterized by high quality in its
processing and construction. This guarantees a long-term reliable function.
Hint
As an alternative to the hand soot pump, a heated probe can be connected
directly to the measuring instrument. With this heated probe, the possible
condensation of water vapour and thus falsification of the measuring result
can be reliably prevented.
Hint
For further information on the procedure for soot measurement with the hand
soot pump, please refer to the manual for the hand soot pump set.
