How to Use the SKC Coated Filters
1. Set up the sampling train for calibration with the representative fi lter
cassett e in line. For “closed-face” sampling, remove the plugs and connect
the cassett e to the sampling train. For “open-face” sampling, remove the outlet
plug and the cassett e inlet section then connect the cassett e to the sampling
train. For details on sett ing up a sampling train, refer to the SKC Sample Setup
Guide “Sampling Train - Filters and Cyclones” (SKC Publication 1166).
2. Calibrate the pump to the desired fl ow rate using a fi lm fl owmeter or
calibrated precision rotameter. For details on calibrating a pump, refer to the
SKC Sample Setup Guide “Calibrating a Pump Using a Film Flowmeter” (SKC
Publication 1163).
3. Replace the cassett e used for calibration with a fresh fi lter cassett e for
sample collection. Attach the cassette to a worker’s collar, as close to the
breathing zone as possible, by using a fi lter cassett e holder (SKC Cat. No.
225-1). Sample for the specifi ed time interval and record the time.
4. Remove the fi lter cassett e at the end of the specifi ed sampling period and
replace both end plugs (and the inlet if necessary). Recheck the fl ow rate using
the same cassett e and fl owmeter used for calibration (in Step 2) to ensure that
the fl ow rate has not changed by more than 5%.
5. Store sample at ≤ 39.2 F (4 C) for up to 90 days. Appropriately package
samples, blanks, and all pertinent data to send to a lab for analysis. Expedite
shipping of samples to laboratory. Friday shipments are not recommended.
