The LISST is a portable particle size analyzer that
determines particle size distribution and particle volume
concentration. The LISST is a laser-scattering, battery
powered portable bench-top particle analyzer developed for use
in the field or in the laboratory. Using the same small-angle
laser scattering principles as other LISST products, the LISST-Portable
analyzes samples in a wet-state and obtains particle size
distribution and particle volume concentration. A unique
feature of the LISST-Portable is the mixing chamber that
incorporates a stirring capability to keep large particles
suspended. Also, the chamber is equipped with in/out
flow-through valves that can be used for circulating samples
drawn during online process.
The built-in data logger is programmable for unattended use
over an extended period of time or it can provide measurements
for immediate analysis. Compact, lightweight and housed in a
moisture-tight, shock-resistant case, the LISST-Portable is
built for the rigors of transport and field use.
Windows '95/'98/NT software is supplied for communications,
downloading, and processing of data to size distributions. The
results can be saved in ASCII format.
