  • How to Align an Opacity Monitor
    Correct optical alignment is essential for any opacity monitor. If the instrument is misaligned, its readings will be unstable. There may also be an offset, and this can be either positive or negative.
  • Can I Mount My Opacity Monitor on a Positive-Pressure Duct?
    Opacity monitors are used to measure emissions of smoke and dust from combustion sources. They are mounted directly onto the stack or duct, so a constant flow of purge air is needed to protect their delicate optics from the hot, dusty, and corrosive stack gases.
  • How Much Purge Air Does My Opacity Monitor Need?
    Opacity monitors are used to measure emissions of smoke and dust from combustion sources. It is a non-contact measurement, with only a light beam penetrating into the combustion gases in the stack or duct, so the delicate optical and electronic components can be mounted in the ambient conditions.
  • What is Your Plan if Your Opacity Monitor Stops Functioning, and You Can't Operate Without One?
    The 4500 MkIII opacity monitor from AMETEK Land is designed to give many years of reliable operation but sometimes breakdowns can happen. Many processes are not permitted to operate without a functioning opacity monitor, so it is important to have a plan in place for any downtime.
  • What is an Opacity Monitor's Installation Pathlength, and Why is it Important?
    The AMETEK Land 4500 MkIII must be configured for the precise pathlength of the place where it will be installed. This blog explains why this is important, and what the various pathlength terms mean.
  • How do I Choose Audit Filters for my Opacity Monitor?
    Ongoing quality assurance is important for any piece of measuring equipment. From a voltmeter to a spectrophotometer, calibration checks are needed to demonstrate that it is continuing to function within its design specification
  • How Do I Perform an Audit on my Opacity Monitor?
    Ongoing quality assurance is important for any piece of measuring equipment. From a voltmeter to a spectrophotometer, calibration checks are needed to demonstrate that it is continuing to function within its design specification.
  • OPACITY AND PM MONITORING IN EMISSION STACKS
    Smoke and dust emissions from industrial plants, such as coal-fired power stations and industrial incinerators, damage the environment and pose a health hazard to humans. Subsequently these emissions are regulated by government agencies across the world. These include the Environmental Protection
