Metrology & calibration

Calibration of particle / aerosol measuring instruments presents some unique challenges, both in an OEM lab and in the field.

Traceable mixtures of calibration gases are available, but calibration of particle instruments real-time aerosol generation, with simultaneous measurement by the Instrument Under Test and a reference system.

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

Single Cambustion instruments can be incorporated into your existing calibration bench, adding features including push button aerosol aerosol dilution (AD60), aerosol size selection (AAC) 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 including data capture and reporting.

Standard calibration bench systems are offered for particle number (CPC calibration), particle size and number for Optical Particle Counter (OPC) calibration and real-time mass concentration for a variety of instruments including Laser Induced Incandescence (LII) and Photoacoustic Soot Sensors (PASS).

Sophisticated software monitors and records system performance with full journaling of data and settings. Multi-level user permissions ensure robust Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are 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.
