SKC 232, 236, 252, 262 Series Single Polypropylene Fitted Bag - Manual (Page 3)

Valves
SKC bag fi tt ing valves are extremely durable but are not intended for use as handles
or hanging devices. This type of handling may damage the seal causing leakage.
It is considered to be misuse and will void the SKC warranty.
Proper Bag Infl ation
Avoid fi lling any bag more than 80% of its maximum volume. At the end of the
sampling period, turn off the pump and close the valve on the bag.
Filling Bags Using Negative Pressure
The SKC Vac-U-Chamber is a rigid air sample box that allows the direct fi lling of
an air sample bag using negative pressure provided by most personal air sample
pumps. When using the Vac-U-Chamber, the air sample enters the bag directly,
without passing through the pump. This eliminates the risk of contaminating the
pump or sample. The Vac-U-Chamber has rigid walls that will not collapse under
vacuum conditions, thus eliminating possible errors. All surfaces in contact with
samples are constructed of inert materials.
