The calibration correction factor is calculated as:

Example:

Filter mass increase

= 3.21 mg

Volume Sampled

= 0.75 m

!

(based on flow rate

and sample time)

Gravimetric density

= 3.21 / 0.75 = 4.28 mg/m

!

T.W.A indication over period

= 3.45 mg/m

!

(i.e. the instrument reads low)

Correction factor

= 4.28 / 3.45 = 1.24

This correction factor can also be calculated automatically using the

WinDust pro software. (See Section 3.7).

2.3.3 Applying the Calibration

1.

Check the zero and span settings as described in Section 2.3.1.

2.

Select the User Dust Types option from the Calibration menu.
A list of the current dust types is displayed, with the active type

marked √.

The default dust type is a factory calibration that cannot be edited or

deleted. It is based on measurements using ISO Fine 12103-1 A2

(equivalent to Arizona Road Dust).

3.

Move to an existing dust name (not Default) or to an empty space.

4.

Press

to step through the following options:

“√”

The active dust type,

“del”

Deletes this dust type,

“set”

Sets a name and correction factor,

“ ”

This type stored but inactive.
