ISO 19996:2024
Charge conditioning of aerosol particles for particle characterization and the generation of calibration and test aerosols
Product Details
This document provides a methodology to specify the performance of charge conditioners and for adequate quality control, with respect to their application in:
— particle size and concentration measurement with differential mobility analysing systems (DMAS);
—particle size classification with differential electrical mobility classifiers (DEMC).
For these applications, this document covers particle charge conditioning for particle sizes ranging from approximately 1 nm to 1 µm and for particle number concentrations at the inlet of the charge conditioner up to approximately 107 cm-3.
This document does not address specific charge conditioner designs or other applications besides those specified in Clause 1.
Radiation safety for charge conditioners with radioactive sources or x-ray tubes is not covered by this document.
