• Elapsed Time Indicator

The Staplex® Critical Flow High Volume Air Sampling Systems use this principle of choke to maintain a constant actual flow rate of 40 cubic feet per minute (1.13 cubic meters per minute) over a sample period. Since critical flow through the venturi is not greatly affected by changes in filter loading, ambient temperture or barometric pressure, a stable volumetric flow rate is maintained as long as power is provided to the sampler. The critical flow device regulates flow at a constant but unadjustable rate without any moving parts or electronic components.

Staplex® Type TFAGF810 Glass Fiber Filters, 8" x 10" (100/box)

Flow Recorder - Models FR-1 and FR-2 - Provides a permanent record of High Volume Air Sampler performance during a 24-hour period. Specify Model FR-1 for 115 VAC; Model FR-2 for 230 VAC. (see additional data sheet).

DTM-1 and DTM-2 Digital 7-Day Timer - Turns Air Sampler "ON" and "OFF" at set times, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. All functions are digital and quartz crystal controlled; digital clock with 1/4-in. LED display and 7.2 VDC re-chargeable stand-by battery; intuitive programming format. Specify Model DTM-1 for 120 VAC, 60 Hz; Model DTM-2 for 230 VAC (specify 50 or 60 Hz when ordering).

MT-1 and MT-2 Mechanical 7 Day Timer Turns Air Sampler "ON" and "OFF" at set times ± 15 minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Specify Model MLT-1 for 120 VAC, 60 Hz; Model MLT-2 for 230 VAC, 50 Hz

ETI-1 (120 VAC) /ETI-2 (220 VAC) Elapsed Time Indicator - (without Flow Controller) Shows sampler run time in hours and hundreths (99,999.99 hours, mechanical non-resettable). (Re-settable model ETI-1R is also available for 120 VAC.)

Calibration Kit - Models CKHV810 - U.S. EPA prescribed method for accurate calibration of High Volume Air Samplers. U.S. EPA recommends that High Volume Air Samplers be re-calibrated at least once per year (or when major components such as the motor or flowmeter are changed). Model CKHV810 can be used with 4" or 8" x 10" filter holder assemblies. (see additional data sheet)

PM10 Size Selective Inlets - for U.S. EPA PM10 environmental air sampling. Staplex® PM10 Size Selective Inlet is available separately as Part No. PM10-SSI for conversion of existing TSP (Total Suspend Particulate) High Volume Air Sampling Systems to PM10 System. (see additional data sheet)

4, 5 & 6 Stage High Volume Cascade Impactors - for particle size separation (see additional data sheet)
