The GS-1 Cyclone is a 10-mm Dorr-Oliver equivalent design but comprised of conductive material to eliminate the electrostatic effects associated with the nylon Dorr-Oliver. Use with the SKC DPM Cassette to screen out large particles to prevent impactor and filter overload. The GS-1 Cyclone is safe for underground mine use.
Features
- 2 L/min flow rate provides sharp size selection at 4 µm
- Meets ISO 7708/CEN criteria and OSHA silica rule; suitable for ACGIH respirable TLVs
- Use at 1.7 or 2 L/min with DPM Cassette for MSHA DPM compliance sampling
- Screens out large particles to prevent DPM Cassette impactor and filter overload
- Conductive plastic construction
- Eliminates electrostatic effects experienced with the 10-mm nylon cyclone
- Not a spark hazard for underground mine use
