PDPA SYSTEM 2-COMPONENT

PDPA SYSTEM 2-COMPONENT

This pre-configured two-component PDPA system gets you up and running in a hurry. It is a workhorse system providing maximum two-component size and velocity data with minimum hardware. The fiberoptic transmitter probe allows a multitude of fringe spacings and beam waist sizes when optional beam expander and focusing lenses are used. The 110 mm RV 70 series receiver probe is our most popular unit. Both probes are attached to convenient rotating mounts for easy setup. Processing electronics have been pre-selected and configured for a wide range of size and velocity measurements.

This system can be upgraded to a three-component PDPA system. Since traversing, seeding, and data processing requirements will vary with the application, no traverses, particle generators, or computer is included here.
