PMS HPGP 101-C | Ultra-High-Purity Gas Particle Counter & PDS-E

Call for Price

The PMS HPGP 101-C is a high-pressure gas particle counter for reliable in-line monitoring of ultra-high-purity process gases.

  • Ultra-high sensitivity: detects particles from 0.1 µm.
  • High pressure: stable operation across 40–150 psig.
  • Direct sampling: measures the UHP gas stream with no external pressure reducer.
  • Industrial durability: long-life laser source, low maintenance.

Data is collected by the PDS-E and integrates with FacilityNet over Ethernet/RS-232.

Key Benefits 4 KEY BENEFITS

Direct measurement up to 150 psig

Sample inside the high-pressure gas stream itself — eliminating false counts from external reducers and reflecting true process conditions.

Safe with O₂, H₂ & reactive gases

Passive optical cavity, containment vessel and inert-gas purge; power cuts off automatically on sample-gas leak into the vessel.

Faster start-up & validation

Detecting 0.1 µm particles early raises yield and cuts gas-distribution-system qualification time.

Continuous data with PDS-E

Integrates with FacilityNet for storage, reporting and instant alarms; Ethernet / Modbus / OPC, NIST-traceable.

Frequently Asked Questions FAQ

What gases can the HPGP 101-C measure?

It is compatible with O₂, H₂ and most non-toxic gases (N₂, Ar, He, CDA…), and works in many reactive-gas applications thanks to its passive optical cavity and containment vessel.

What is the sensitivity and how many channels does it have?

It detects particles from 0.1 to 5.0 µm across 8 channels (0.1 / 0.2 / 0.3 / 0.5 / 1.0 / 2.0 / 3.0 / 5.0 µm), with > 50% counting efficiency at 0.14 µm.

What is the maximum line pressure it works at?

From 40 to 150 psig (2.8 – 10.3 bar). It samples directly in the high-pressure gas stream, with no external pressure reducer required.

What is PDS-E and how does it connect?

The PDS-E (Particle Data System – Ethernet) collects and reports data from the HPGP probe. It communicates over RS-232 and Ethernet (PMS protocol, Modbus TCP or OPC) and integrates with FacilityNet software.

Can it safely measure pure oxygen and hydrogen?

Yes. The passive optical cavity, inert-gas purge and automatic power cut-off on a sample-gas leak let the HPGP work safely with O₂ and H₂.

What is the sample flow rate?

0.1 SCFM (equivalent to 2.8 LPM).

How often should it be calibrated?

Annual calibration at an authorized Particle Measuring Systems center is recommended; the calibration standards are NIST-traceable.

What is the biggest differentiator of the HPGP 101-C?

Its ability to measure directly at pressures up to 150 psig while keeping 0.1 µm sensitivity — something conventional portable gas particle counters cannot do.
