Fine Particle Measurement with FIDAS
The 6NAPSE Group performs characterization and measurement of dust and fine particles using FIDAS technology.
Measurements with FIDAS
The 6NAPSE Group offers air quality measurement and analysis services for corporate and industrial environments. Our infrastructure incorporates state-of-the-art FIDAS technology (an optical particle counter), which is recognized for its precision and compliance with the strictest European standards (EN 16450 certification).
Fine dust characterization using FIDAS
Our laboratory leverages the full potential of the FIDAS system to provide you with a precise, continuous, and simultaneous real-time analysis of your environments.
- Measurement of mass concentrations for PM1, PM2.5, PM4, and PM10.
- Measurement of fine particle number concentration.
- Particle size analysis: resolution across the 0.18–18 µm range (64 channels), enabling the determination of the fine particle size distribution.
Associated services
Industrial site diagnosis: measures tailored to the client’s specific challenges, including detailed particle characterization.
Health impact assessment: analysis with health-related contextualization, classifying particles based on their alveolar and thoracic fractions.
Performance verification of measurement sensors: qualification and recalibration of sensors to ensure measurement reliability.
What is FIDAS technology?
FIDAS (Fine Dust Analysis System) is a high-tech optical particle size analyzer. Unlike traditional gravimetric methods, it analyzes each individual particle in real time using light scattering (Lorenz-Mie theory).
