What is the TSI DustTrak DRX 8534 used for?
It's a handheld portable real-time aerosol monitor for field dust and particulate matter measurements. It simultaneously measures PM1, PM2.5, PM4, PM10, and total PM using laser photometry, and runs on battery for approximately 12–13 hours — enough for full-shift field surveys.
DustTrak DRX 8534 vs. 8533 — what's the difference?
The 8534 is the handheld battery-operated version for mobile surveys and walking inspections. The 8533 is a desktop area unit for fixed or tripod placement. Both measure the same PM fractions simultaneously. Use the 8534 when you need to move between locations; use the 8533 for continuous stationary monitoring.
DustTrak DRX 8534 vs. SidePak AM520i — which do I need?
The DustTrak DRX 8534 is carried in the hand for spatial mapping and mobile surveys. The SidePak AM520i is worn on the body in the breathing zone for worker-specific personal exposure monitoring. Use both together for a complete dust survey.
Is DustTrak DRX 8534 data sufficient for OSHA PEL compliance?
The DustTrak uses real-time photometry calibrated to Arizona Test Dust — it provides screening-level data. For OSHA PEL compliance determinations for specific aerosols (e.g., respirable crystalline silica), gravimetric filter sampling with lab analysis is the reference method.
What's included in the DustTrak DRX 8534 rental kit?
The DustTrak DRX 8534 handheld monitor, zero filter, inlet cap, spare internal filter, impactor assembly, USB cable, TrakPro software, and carrying case.
What does it cost to rent the TSI DustTrak DRX 8534?
$225/day and $635/week. Pricing beyond two weeks is by quote. For facility-wide dust surveys or multi-shift industrial hygiene assessments, the weekly rate provides better value — portable handheld surveys across a large facility typically take several days to complete properly.
