                                                                                                    1. Traceable calibration standards

                                                                                                    Calibration is performed using reference standards traceable to national or international standards. These standards ensure your particle counter's readings are accurate.



                                                                                                    2. Calibration process

                                                                                                    A. Flow rate calibration
                                                                                                    The first step is to calibrate the flow rate of the particle counter. The flow rate is critical because it determines the volume of air being sampled. A known flow rate standard is used to verify and adjust the counter’s internal flow meter.

                                                                                                    B. Size calibration
                                                                                                    The next step is to calibrate the particle size detection. Monodisperse or polydisperse polystyrene latex (PSL) spheres, which are particles of a known size, are used. The cleanroom particle counter measures these particles, and adjustments are made to ensure the sensor correctly identifies particle sizes.

                                                                                                    C. Counting efficiency
                                                                                                    Your calibration also includes checking the counting efficiency. The particle counter is exposed to a known concentration of particles, and its ability to count these particles accurately is verified.

                                                                                                    A particle-free air sample is introduced to ensure the counter does not register false counts when no particles are present. This checks for leaks or electronic noise in the system.

                                                                                                    After calibration, you get a detailed report documenting the calibration process, the standards used, the results, and any adjustments we make. This certification proves your particle counter is calibrated, accountable, and traceable to recognized standards.

                                                                                                    Should you choose to have your calibration performed by a provider other than Acumen, please ensure they are an authorized representative of your manufacturer. Calibration performed by uncertified third parties will result in the voiding of your warranty - and your cost of ownership will go up.

                                                                                                    Get us to take care of your annual calibration schedule

This approach ensures consistent control of cleanroom conditions, reducing the risk of undetected, expensive contamination between periodic samples.
