8-4 Measuring in Parallel with the Mass Concentration
Measurement Method
In some cases, mass concentration conversion factors must be measured to improve
measurement precision. Therefore, this product includes a filter holder base so that, using only
this one instrument, mass concentration conversion factors can be determined by comparing
dust concentration values measured using both the scattered light and mass concentration
measurement methods.
8-4-1 Installing
Filters
To enable measurements using the mass concentration measurement method, place filter
onto the filter holder base. Select the type of filter based on what is being measured.
Note: Filters are not included with the FLD-1. Please provide them separately.
