FP-25 PM Air Sampler Calibrator Kit

Bluetooth enabled calibrator for PM samplers and air quality analyzers

FP-25 connected to a particulate monitoring air quality sampler for flow audit

The FP-25 PM Air Sampler Calibrator kit connects directly to air monitoring instruments while calibrating. It features superior leak protection for use in any weather. Operators can stay dry while adjusting the device via Bluetooth connected app. Use FP‑25 to audit and calibrate PM10 and PM2.5 particulate matter monitors and air quality testing/analyzer devices to regulatory standards.

PM air monitor compatibility. Compatible with all PM air monitors: TEOM, Partisol, Beta Attenuation Monitors (BAM), T640.
Easy integration. Bluetooth antenna plus Alicat Connect app remotely reads air sampler measurements, with data-logging capabilities for data management software.
Accurate, multi-variate measurement. NIST‑traceable mass flow, volumetric flow, pressure, and temperature measurements to ± 1% of reading.
Portable & durable. Battery‑powered calibrator mounts directly to air monitoring (FRM or FEM) instrument, negating effects of wind gusts. Any weather — IP67 rated. Accurate from −30°C to +60°C and up to 95% relative humidity.
