The FineAlyzer measures and analyzes dust particles in accordance with ASTM procedures to avoid vigorous movement or friction of pellets during the fines separation process. The technology is based on the principle that unwanted dust and fines will typically adhere to larger pellets and will be removed by rinsing the test sample with a liquid (preferably demineralized water). This process washes away dust and fines into a beaker. Particles are then poured into the filter collection unit, which separates the fines from the water. The parts-per-million concentration is determined by comparing the weight of the filter paper before and after the process. The wet analysis quantifies the amounts of dust having particle sizes from 1.6 to 500 µm.
