GRIMM 5430 | 5431
PMP compliant condensation particle counters

High-accuracy stationary nanoparticle counters for automotive emission measurements compliant with Euro 5 and 6 standard. 


Functionality: Condensation Particle Counter

  • Precise nanoparticle counting: n-Butanol based CPC, Single count mode (up to 50,000 particles/cm3), Coincidence correction: < 10% up to 23,000 particles/cm³, Linearity: R² ≥ 0.98 for 1 … 23,000 particles/cm³, Counting efficiency within 50 ±12% at 23 nm and ≥ 90% at 41 nm
  • Sample flow rate controlled by critical orifice: External vacuum required; 
  • For 5431: Sample flow rate controlled by critical orifice: Integrated sample air pump, no external vacuum required 
  • Saturator shutter
  • Continuous condensate drain with micro pump
