Abstract

Precision equipment is described for reproducing the unit of numerical concentration and size for particles in aerosols, suspensions, and powders in the concentration range from 4·107 to 4·1013 m−3 with average particle dimensions of 1–100 μm. The apparatus is based on small-angle laser-beam scattering and Beer's law. The optical system is described. The residual systematic error in reproducing the numerical concentration and unit does not exceed 12% in the above concentration and size ranges.
