Concept information

Preferred term

FFSSP  

Definition

  • The Fast Forward Scattering Spectrometer Probe (FFSSP) measures particle size and concentration. The FFSSP sizes particles by measuring the amount of light scattered into the collecting optics aperture during particle interaction through a focused laser beam. The instrument can size particles from 1-50m with a resolution of about 3m. The system resolves particles into twenty equally spaced bins. It is capable of sizing particles having velocities from 20-175 m/s. The FFSSP is a stand-alone system with an onboard data acquisition system that stores data on a Compact Flash (CF) card. (en)
