- Page 28 Standard Calibration Method—Photometric Calibration Factor In most situations, the D monitor with its built-in data logging ™ capability can provide very good information on how the concentration of an aerosol changes for different processes over time. Factory calibration to the respirable fraction of standard ISO 12103-1, A1 test dust is fairly representative of a wide variety of ambient aerosols.
- Page 29 5. Start sampling aerosol with both instruments at the same time. Note Greater accuracy will be obtained with longer samples. The time you permit for sampling often depends on the reference instrument and characteristics of the measured aerosol. It may take some time to collect sufficient aerosol onto a filter cassette for accurate gravimetric analysis.
