SKC 225-367 Abrasive Blasting Sampler - Manual

Button Aerosol Sampler
Catalog No. 225-360
The patented* SKC Button Aerosol Sampler is a
reusable fi lter sampler with a porous curved-surface
sampling inlet designed to improve the collection
characteristics of inhalable dust (< 100 μm aerodynamic
diameter
† ) including bioaerosols for viable or non-
viable analysis.
While closely following the ACGIH/ISO sampling
criteria for inhalable particulate mass at 4 L/min, the
Butt on Sampler's design also minimizes wind sensitivity, provides equal distribution
of particle loading and low intersample variation, and can be used in any orientation.
Sample analysis for inhalable dust is performed gravimetrically using NIOSH
Method 0500. Metals can be analyzed using direct-reading techniques (e.g.,
NIOSH Method 7702). Fungal spore analysis includes microscopy, immunoassay,
or polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
† Very large particles (> 100 μm) are thought to be less inhalable, but may enter the inlets of
some samplers by projection or sedimentation. The Butt on Aerosol Sampler design minimizes
collection of these particles.
Performance Profi le
Flow Rate: 4 L/min
The Butt on Sampler closely follows the ACGIH/ISO inhalability
curve at 4 L/min. This provides optimum sampling. Sampling
effi
ciency is maintained within ± 30% at fl ows ranging from
2 to 5 L/min.
