The Extech VPC260 is a professional-grade 6-channel particle counter designed for real-time environmental air quality monitoring. It measures six particle sizes simultaneously—down to 0.3 μm—alongside air temperature, humidity, dew point, and wet bulb readings. Its high-performance capabilities make it ideal for use in industrial hygiene, HVAC diagnostics, indoor air quality assessments, and regulatory compliance applications.
Equipped with a vivid 2.8-inch TFT color display, the VPC260 allows clear visualization of all readings. The unit stores up to 1000 data sets and supports USB Type-C data transfer, enabling convenient documentation via downloadable PC software. Additional features include selectable sampling times, count data settings, programmable delays, and a built-in tripod mount for stable long-term placement. Whether verifying filter efficiency, identifying particle sources, or monitoring wildfire particulates, the VPC260 delivers reliable, accurate measurements for professional users.
