Metrology & calibration

The calibration of particle / aerosol measuring instruments presents some unique challenges.

In contrast to gas measurements, where traceable mixtures of calibration gases are available, calibration of particle instruments requires the generation of an aerosol in real-time for simultaneous measurement with the Instrument Under Test, and a reference system.

Cambustion offer a range of individual products and integrated systems to meet these unique calibration requirements.

Single Cambustion instruments can be incorporated into your existing calibration bench, to add features including push button aerosol aerosol dilution, aerosol size selection and calibration reference Condensation Particle Counters (CPC).

Cambustion also offer turn-key standard and custom aerosol calibration benches, for an end-to-end traceable solution.

Standard calibration bench systems are offered for particle number (CPC calibration), particle size and number for Optical Particle Counter (OPC) calibration and realtime mass concentration for mass instrument calibration.

Sophisticated software monitors and records system performance with full journaling of data and settings, and different user permissions ensure robust Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) may be defined and adhered to. IQ/OQ/PQ services are available to support customer requirements.

Calibration benches may be customised for specific user requirements, including interfacing to new IUTs and new operating regimes.
