HPGP101-C Ultra High Purity Gas Particle Counter
Ultra High Purity Gas Particle Counter: HPGP™ 101-C
High-technology manufacturing processes often require high-purity gases. The HPGP 101-C Ultra High Purity Gas Particle Counter provides reliable in-line contamination monitoring for process gases at line pressure up to 150 psig. The HPGP is compatible with oxygen, hydrogen, and most non-toxic gases and can be used in many reactive gas monitoring applications. It speeds the qualification of process gas distribution systems and detects particles in gases before they impact yield.
The HPGP is paired with the Particle Data System, Ethernet (PDS-E) that collects and reports data captured by the instrument.
