On June 4, 2025, “Clean Air, Filter the Future – The 4th SGS IBR Filtration Technology Seminar” was successfully held in Ningbo. As a professional event in the filtration industry, this seminar focuses on trends, standards, regulations and market challenges in the field of air purification and filtration technology, and attracted more than a hundred experts, scholars and company representatives from the air purifier industry and the filter manufacturing industry to attend. At the conference, Palas®, an expert in aerosol measurement technology, demonstrated its innovative solution to measure particulate matter in the AHAM AC-1 cigarette test using the Promo 1000 aerosol particle size Spectrometer, which became a highlight of the seminar.
In the speech “PALAS – Alternative of Measurement Instrument for AHAM AC-1”, Mr. Linus Wang, Sales Manager – Industry & Science of Palas® China, provided a detailed introduction to the application of the Palas® Promo 1000 aerosol spectrometer in cigarette testing. He pointed out that the device is capable of providing highly precise and stable particle measurement data, especially when dealing with high-concentration particle tests. Mr. Wang also shared the multiple comparison results between the Palas® Promo 1000 and the recommended standard equipment at different customer sites. These results demonstrate its advantages in measurement accuracy and data consistency, and also show that the test results of this solution meet the requirement of ±10 CADR (cfm) deviation for comparing CADR values among different organizations.
Six Comparison Measurement for Different Samples
In addition, he offered valuable insights and solutions for potential issues that may arise during actual testing, providing significant references for the attendees.
At the conference, the Palas® Promo aerosol particle size spectrometer was also showcased onsite, attracting the close attention of the attendees. Among them, the Promo 1000 is equipped with the VKL 10 dilution system, providing a comprehensive solution for CADR cigarette tests, strictly meeting the standards AHAM AC-1 & IEC 63086-2-1.
