How to Use SKC Preloaded Coated Filters
1. Select one coated fi lter casse e for calibrating the fl ow rate. A red plug
secures the inlet, which is clearly marked “inlet,” and a blue plug secures the
outlet. Set up the sampling train for calibration with the representative fi lter
casse e in line. For “closed-face” sampling, remove the plugs and connect the
casse e to the sampling train. For “open-face” sampling, remove the outlet
plug and the casse e inlet section then connect the casse e to the sampling
train. For details on se ing up a sampling train, refer to the SKC Sample Setup
Guide “Sampling Train - Filters and Cyclones” (SKC Publication 1166).
2. Calibrate the pump to the desired fl ow rate using a fi lm fl owmeter or
calibrated precision rotameter. For details on calibrating a pump, refer to the
SKC Sample Setup Guide “Calibrating a Pump Using a Film Flowmeter” (SKC
Publication 1163).
3. Replace the casse e used for calibration with a fresh coated fi lter casse e
for sample collection. A ach the casse e to a worker’s collar, as close to the
breathing zone as possible, by using a fi lter casse e holder (SKC Cat. No.
225-1). Sample for the specifi ed time interval and record the time.
4. Remove the fi lter casse e at the end of the specifi ed sampling period and
replace both end plugs (and the inlet if necessary). Recheck the fl ow rate using
the same casse e and fl owmeter used for calibration in Step 2 to ensure that
the fl ow rate has not changed by more than 5%.
5. Store samples at ≤ 39.2 F (4 C) for up to 15 days. Analyze as soon as possible.
Appropriately package samples, blanks, and all pertinent data to send to a lab
for analysis. Expedite shipping of samples to laboratory. Friday shipments are
not recommended.
