SM-202M
Smoke Opacity Monitor for monitoring marine emissions
With Port Authorities around the world increasingly regulating emissions from ships, the SM-202M Smoke Opacity Monitor is an optical instrument specifically designed to measure the visible opacity of smoke emissions within the marine industry.
SM-202M
The SM-202M uses the single pass light transmission measurement technique, with Transmitter/Receiver arrangement. A light beam emitted from the Transmitter passes across the stack to a Receiver, which measures the intensity of the received light. Increased smoke density in the stack gas attenuates the transmitted light and causes the intensity of the received light to fall. This reduction in intensity is measured and presented as % opacity. The higher the level of smoke present, the more light lost and therefore, the greater the opacity.
Optional accessories
- Mounting flange installation kit
- Laser alignment tool to assist with installation
- Air purge blower kit (110 Vac / 230 Vac / 415 Vac)
- Compressed air purge kit
- Reference filters for routine calibration check of the instrument
Features
