Brechtel - Model 1200 -Isokinetic Inlet System
FromBrechtel
Sampling particles from moving platforms can be tough – especially larger coarse-mode aerosol that are easily lost inside inlets due to turbulent deposition. The Isokinetic Inlet System has been designed using our wind tunnel facility to minimize particle losses in aircraft sampling applications where automated operation and field-tested performance are required. Brechtel has over 14 years of aircraft sampling and isokinetic inlet development expertise to help with your application.
