iPMplus
iPMplus
Turnkey’s new iPM instrument employs a unique combination of light extinction and light scatter to accurately analyse individual airborne particles. This allows the instrument to simultaneously measure all the PM size fractions with great accuracy. Unlike fan-based samplers, iPM has a proper pump, air filter, and accurate flow controller to generate a stable sample airflow. It also generates recirculated clean air to keep its optics away from dust and dirt contamination. Its proprietary long-life pump uses an ultrasonic mechanism and is virtually noiseless. The filter capsule is interchangeable and can be sent for material analysis of the collected dust. To remove water droplets when sampling in damp or misty conditions, the iPM has a temperature-controlled heated inlet. The user can adjust the sample temperature set point. Or, if an ambient T & RH probe is fitted, the sample flow can be held at constant humidity. The iPM is MCERTS approved for PM2.5 and PM10 measurements.
Technical Specifications
IPM Particle Monitor
The proprietary long-life pump operates using an ultrasonic mechanism and is virtually noiseless, while the interchangeable filter capsule can be used for further material analysis.
To handle sampling in damp or misty conditions, the iPM includes a temperature-controlled heated inlet that removes water droplets. Users can adjust the sample temperature set point, or with an optional ambient temperature and humidity probe, maintain a constant humidity level in the sample flow.

How it Works
The IPM uses a laser and light detector to measure the light scattered by airborne particles to accurately analyse individual sizes and concentrations of PM1, PM2.5 PM10 and TSP particles. It uses a pump and heated inlet to draw in the air samples, the heated inlet is present to avoid water ingress being miss read as dust particles. Due to its technology, it can process up to 100,000 particles per second and is Mcert approved.

What is the iPM Plus and what does it measure?
The iPM Plus is an advanced particulate (dust) monitoring system designed to measure airborne particles such as PM1, PM2.5, PM4 (respirable), and PM10 simultaneously. It is widely used for environmental monitoring, construction site compliance, and industrial air quality assessment.
What technology does the iPM Plus use for measurement?
The system uses a combination of light scattering and light extinction techniques with a built-in particle spectrometer. This allows accurate measurement of particle size distribution (0.2 µm to 10 µm) and concentration in real time.
What level of accuracy and compliance does the iPM Plus provide?
The iPM Plus is MCERTS-approved for PM2.5 and PM10, ensuring it meets regulatory requirements for environmental and industrial monitoring. This makes it suitable for compliance reporting and legal monitoring applications.
How does the iPM Plus handle challenging environmental conditions?
The system includes a temperature-controlled heated inlet to remove moisture and prevent false readings in humid or misty conditions. It also maintains stable airflow using a precision pump and flow controller, ensuring reliable measurements in real-world environments.
