Aperture plates<br />

The particle size range measurable by a PDA can also be changed by<br />

alternating between different aperture plates positioned behind the receiving<br />

front lens.<br />

The different aperture plates for the FiberPDA <strong>and</strong> the DualPDA are shown<br />

in Figure 7-56 <strong>and</strong> Figure 7-57. The difference between the aperture plate<br />

types A, B <strong>and</strong> C is different effective receiver separations corresponding to<br />

a small, medium <strong>and</strong> large measurable size range.<br />

The FiberPDA probe includes one set of the FiberPDA aperture plates.<br />

The DualPDA probe includes one set of each the FiberPDA <strong>and</strong> the<br />

DualPDA aperture plates. To use a DualPDA probe in FiberPDA<br />

configuration, the FiberPDA mask has to be used.<br />

medium, <strong>and</strong> C - for large particles.<br />

Figure 7-57: Aperture plates for the DualPDA Probe. A - for small, B - for<br />

medium, <strong>and</strong> C - for large particles.<br />

The aperture plate is kept in place by a mounting ring <strong>and</strong> a spring washer,<br />

<strong>and</strong> its orientation is fixed by a small pin.<br />

To exchange the aperture plate requires the following steps:<br />
