Economical Pump for Filling Bags
The SKC Grab Air Sample Pump is an economical choice for grab-and-go
bag sampling. Grab Air operates at a fixed flow rate of 1 L/min for up
to 1000 liters volume on one 9-volt battery. Simply attach a sample bag
to the outlet port and turn on the pump. Simple, quick, economical — Grab
Air.
Principle of Operation
The Grab Air Sampler pulls air containing the sample into the pump at approximately
1 L/min and immediately exhausts it into a sample bag connected to the pump
with PTFE tubing. Sampling is complete
when the bag is properly filled. See
Bag Sampling.
Sampling Tips
- Use only PTFE tubing and a PTFE-lined septum for bag sampling
to prevent sample loss.
- Flush bags thoroughly with purified air or nitrogen before use.
- Do not use bags to collect unstable or highly reactive compounds.
- Do not ship sample bags by air unless the cargo cabin is pressurized.
- When sampling for CO or CO2, use SKC
Standard FlexFoil (263 and 263 Series) or FlexFoil
PLUS (252
and 253 Series) Grab
Bags.
- Avoid filling any bag more than 80% of its maximum volume.
Visually inspect the bag as it is filling to determine when sampling is complete.
