Topas FCS 248 — Photometer Calibration System
The Topas FCS 248 is a precision-engineered photometer calibration system designed to provide stable, reproducible aerosols for the calibration of photometers, particle counters, and aerosol spectrometers. It is particularly suited for cleanroom environments, filter testing facilities, and laboratories requiring highly accurate and traceable aerosol generation for instrument validation.
Key Features
- Stable Aerosol Generation: The FCS 248 produces a consistent aerosol output, ensuring reproducible test conditions and accurate calibration results. Its design maintains uniform particle concentration and size distribution over extended periods, critical for reliable instrument validation.
- Compatibility with Various Test Media: The system can generate aerosols from standard calibration liquids such as DEHS or PAO, supporting a wide range of photometer and particle counter types.
- Compact and Cleanroom-Compatible Design: Built with a stainless steel housing, the FCS 248 is robust, easy to clean, and fully compatible with ISO-classified cleanroom environments. Its compact footprint allows integration into existing laboratory or validation workflows without requiring extensive space.
- Autonomous Operation: The system operates independently, minimizing operator intervention. It can be integrated with measurement instruments for automated calibration sequences, improving workflow efficiency.
- Precise Control and Reproducibility: The FCS 248 allows for precise adjustment of aerosol concentration and flow, ensuring that photometers and particle counters are calibrated under well-defined and repeatable conditions. This reduces measurement uncertainty and enhances compliance with ISO 21501 standards and other applicable calibration requirements.
