HTabsOverviewThe BCP is a compact probe that measures 5 µm to 75 µm particles with no contamination from ice crystal shattering and no airflow distortion. Key Features Aerodynamic design Minimize airflow disturbance and enable undisturbed particle measurement with the BCP’s aerodynamic design. Mount the BCP easily on aircraft, even when space is at a premium. Comprehensive, customizable output data Monitor multiple output variables like total particles, average transit time, over-range particles, and various probe health indicators. Dynamic baseline feature Depend on automatic adjustments to both sizer and qualifier signals to account for temperature drifts and ensure accurate particle sizing. Advanced user control Program the instrument's sample rate and size bin thresholds. Plus, get size distributions accumulated in the probe, with serial transmission to a computer via any standard RS-232 or RS-422 communications port.
