Product Description

The Soot Probe is a custom made instrument and can be tailored to a customer’s specifications. The system will include all items and software needed for data capture.

Operating Principle

The extinction of a laser light is measured across a 50 mm gap. The extinction is converted to soot volume fractions using the refractive indices of soot.
