Malvern Instruments is exhibiting its Spraytec laser diffraction particle size analyser at the Institute for Liquid Atomization and Spray Systems' annual conference in the USA
Used for analysis of a wide range of aerosols and sprays, the Spraytec delivers in situ, real-time, high-speed spray characterisation over an extremely wide size range.
Also showcased is the Spraytec's latest software, which further extends the system's extensive data capture and processing capabilities.
Automatic calculation of the variability in particle size at different time-points during repeat spray actuations is provided, enabling researchers to better understand the source of any inconsistency in atomisation performance.
The ability to convert from volume to number based particle size distributions is included as an aid to data comparison with other characterisation techniques.
Operation alongside other systems is also improved, through the development of a new automation interface which allows users to automatically trigger measurements and download data using third party software systems.
An opportunity to learn about the latest advancements in sprays and atomisation, Ilass 2008 provides a venue for industry experts to network with industrialists, researchers, academics and students.
