Simple to Operate
With its broad flow range, the powerful 44XR air
sampling pump does the work of both a high flow and a low flow pump
in a single pump unit. Designed for rugged environments and repeated
use,
its state-of-the-art pneumatic system delivers a constant flow,
so users can get accurate air volumes without the need for frequent
sampler adjustments. This system includes:
- Pulsation dampener for smooth airflow
- Built-in flowmeter to monitor pump flow
- Pressure regulator for low flow sampling
- Filter assembly to prevent clogging of the pump
All SKC XR Series Universal Air Sampling Pumps are equipped with a stainless
steel belt clip, built-in accessory mount for impinger brackets, anti-tamper
control cover, and external exhaust port for bag sampling applications. For easy
repair, replacement parts are available in preassembled modules.
Personal or Area Sampling
The result of extensive research and development, the PCXR4 is a constant flow
air sampling pump suited for a broad range of applications. With an operating
range of 1000 to 5000 ml/min (low flow applications of 5 to 500 ml/min require
an optional adjustable low flow holder), this battery-operated air sampling pump
is ideal for industrial hygiene studies as well as environmental testing. Specifically
designed for on-worker and fenceline applications, the PCXR4
air sampling pump is typically used with collecting devices such as:
The 44XR air sampling pump is so dependable, we guarantee its performance for
a period of one year from date of purchase.
Ordering Information
Back Pressure Compensation
The 44XR is factory-preset to compensate for back pressures
to 40 inches water over the most commonly used flow ranges. As back pressure
increases, the motor voltage automatically corrects to maintain a constant
flow over
the operating range. There is no sacrifice to air volume accuracy, even in dusty
environments.
Lightweight and Durable
Weighing only 34 ounces, the 44XR is suited ideally
to personal sampling. A tamper-resistant cover and durable construction allow
the
pump to
withstand
the rigors of on-worker use time and time again. Rechargeable NiCad batteries
provide a reliable power source that can be restored overnight. The 44XR is a
workhorse air sampling pump, designed for rugged, repeated use.
RFI and EMI Shielding
44XR case material and unique circuitry are designed to provide shielding from
radio frequency in the range of 27 to 1000 MHz. This shielding prevents fluctuations
in the flow caused by electrical effects on the pumps control circuitry. CE
marked.
A High Standard of Safety
Intrinsically safe, the 44XR is UL Listed for explosive gas
and dust atmospheres of Class I, Division 1 and 2, Groups A, B, C, D; Class II,
Division 1 and 2, Groups E, F, G;
and Class III, Temperature Code T3C.

The Indispensable Air Sampling Pump
Highly accurate yet easy to operate, the versatile 44XR is
suited for industrial hygiene studies as well as environmental testing. Specifically
designed for on-worker or personal applications, this sampler is typically
used for TWA, STEL, or Ceiling sampling using a wide range of sampling media
including:
Ordering Information
Multiple-tube Sampling Capability
The 44XR built-in constant pressure regulator allows users
to take up to four simultaneous samples with rates up to 500 ml/min each
using an optional adjustable low flow holder (not included). Reduce time
in the field and use fewer pumps with multiple-tube
air sampling.
Long-life NiCad Battery Pack
The NiCad battery pack provides a minimum 8-hour continuous run time. The
battery charge test ensures the pump runs the entire shift.
A Variety of Ordering Options
The 44XR and its accessories can be purchased together in
single and five-pack pump kits or separately for a more customized setup. Accessories
include chargers (single or five station), adjustable low flow holders, filter
cassette holders, impinger holders, and a protective nylon carrying pouch with
shoulder strap and belt.
Note: Kits do not contain all the accessories
listed here. Contact your
SKC regional sales representative for
