The 232, 236, 252, and 262 Series sample bags feature a single polypropylene fi tt ing
that is used for both fi lling the bag and removing the sample for analysis. The fi tt ing
contains both a syringe port with PTFE-lined septum and a hose connection and
acts as a shut-off valve for the hose connection.
Guidelines for Bag Sampling
1. Ensure that the bag material and fi tt ings are appropriate for the
compounds to be sampled.
2. Use only PTFE tubing to connect the sample bag to the pump to prevent
sample loss by adsorption on tubing walls.
3. Before using, fl ush the bag thoroughly with purifi ed air or nitrogen.
4. Analyze the sample within 24 to 48 hours. Long-term storage of air-
contaminant mixtures in bags is not recommended.
5. Do not ship sample bags by air unless the cargo cabin is pressurized.
6. Infl ate bag properly; see page 3 for details.
FlexFoil Bag Note: Due to the physical properties of foil bag material, minor crimps
and creases may appear on the bags during SKC manufacturing and quality testing
as well as user handling. These marks only affect the aesthetics of the bag and not
its performance. Foil bags exhibiting minor crimps and creases are not subject to
replacement or refund as functionality is not affected.
Cautions
Do not use sample bags to sample compounds with boiling points > 249.8 F (121 C).
SKC sample bags are designed for sampling air at atmospheric pressure only.
Att empting to pressurize the bag can result in bag rupture and sample loss. Do not
ship bag samples by air freight in non-pressurized cargo cabin. Bags can burst under
such conditions.
All federal and state packaging and transporting regulations apply.
Failure to follow warnings and cautions voids any warranty.
Sample bags are designed for single use only.
