Description
The Met One E-BAM Portable Environmental Beta-Attenuation Mass Monitor provides real-time, high-precision measurements of particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) using beta attenuation. It continuously samples ambient air at 16.7 L/min onto a 30 mm × 21 m continuous glass fiber filter tape, allowing over 60 days of operation per roll. Fully compliant with U.S. EPA Class III standards, it delivers accurate results without adjustment factors and can measure semi-volatile nitrates and organic chemicals. The system features an actively controlled inlet heater for consistent humidity, a 597A ambient sensor for temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure, and a 4.3” graphical touchscreen for intuitive operation.
Data can be stored internally for up to 2.6 years at 60-minute averages or externally via USB, with communication options including RS-232, RS-485, and USB, compatible with COMET™, Air Plus 5, or HyperTerminal®. The lightweight, all-weather design supports tripod deployment and operation with AC, DC, or solar power, making it ideal for field, regulatory, and research applications such as air quality monitoring, fugitive emissions studies, and environmental research.
