‡ includes Adjustable Low Flow Single Tube Holder, CPC and Protective Tube Cover Type A
* Note that the Universal series of air sampling pumps do not require a CPC as they have an internal adjustment (regulator) for low flow sampling
† Single tube holder is not flow adjustable

 

Constant Pressure Controller (CPC)

A device which allows a sampling pump to operate at low flow rates and with the optional adjustable low flow tube holders. The CPC is placed inline between the adjustable low flow tube holder and the pump inlet, and regulates the specific amount of pressure to be maintained across the needle valve(s) on the supply (pressure) end of the sampling train. During sampling a valve inside the CPC opens and pulls additional air into the train on the pump (vacuum) end of the CPC as needed, to maintain the CPC-specified pressure across the needle valve(s).

Description	Part Number
CPC for AirChek 3000, Sidekick, AirChek XR5000 pumps	224-26-CPC
CPC for AirLite and PocketPump* pumps	224-26CPC-10

 * Not required in using a single adjustable low flow tube holder with a PocketPump

 

 

Adjustable Low Flow Tube Holders

These products enable a sampling pump to be used with up to 4 sorbent tubes at the same time, either the same tube type running at different flow rates, or with different tubes running at the same or different flow rates.

Description	Number of Tubes	Part Number
Single adjustable flow tube holder	1	224-26-01
Double adjustable flow tube holder	2	224-26-02
Triple adjustable flow tube holder	3	224-26-03
Quadruple adjustable flow tube holder	4	224-26-04

Protective Tube Covers

These protect the ends of the tube for storage and transit. The appropriate tube cover must be selected by matching the Tube Cover letter in the table with the Tube Selection Charts. Note that tube covers Types A to D are for use with SKC Adjustable Low Flow Tube Holders only. Collar clips are attached for convenience.

Tube Cover	Description	Part Number
A	6 mm OD x 70 mm L	224-29A
B	8 mm OD x 110 mm L	224-29B
C	10 mm OD x 150 mm L	224-29C
D	10 mm OD x 220 mm L	224-29D
V	OVS Tubes* (do not use an adjustable low flow holder)	224-29V
P	Low-volume PUF** (do not use an adjustable low flow holder)	224-29P

* OSHA Versatile Sampler (OVS) tubes are typically used at a flow rate of 1 L/min provided by a personal sample pump. The special OVS tube holder is designed to accommodate the 13 mm diameter of SKC OVS tubes, provide a convenient clip to attach the tube in the breathing zone, and protect the tube during sampling. Includes 0.9 m (3ft) of tubing.

** Low-volume PUF tubes are typically used at a flow rate of 1 to 5 L/min provided by a personal sample pump. Therefore, a special tube holder is used in place of an adjustable low flow holder that only allows flows to 500 ml/min. The low-volume PUF tube holder is also specially designed to accommodate the large 22 mm diameter and long 100 mm length of SKC low-volume PUF tubes. Includes 0.9 m (3ft) of tubing.
