These arer three 37mm cyclone samplers for collecting particles They are sold by SKC Cat. No. 225-01-02 Operates at 2.5 L/min to conform to the ISO/CEN particle size-selection criteria Meets requirements in the OSHA-proposed rule for silica Eliminates adverse electrostatic effects Small and lightweight 2.6 x 1.5 inches (6.6 x 3.8 cm) Specified in NIOSH Method 7500 for silica and NIOSH 0600 for respirable particulates Use with an open-face 3-piece cassette for more even particle deposition on the filter Available in 25 or 37 mm Inserts into middle ring of cassetteSample Time Varies Sampling Rate 2.5 L/min for 4-µm cut-point 2.8 L/min for 3.5-µm cut-point Sample Pump Universal XR or AirChek series Sample Media 25 or 37-mm filters in 3-piece cassettes Tubing: 1/4-inch ID Exploded View of Cyclone/filter Cassette Assembly The SKC Aluminum Cyclone is a lightweight respirable dust sampler that is used with a filter loaded into a three-piece filter cassette. The cyclone separates dust particles according to size. The respirable particles collect on a filter for analysis while larger particles fall into the grit pot and are discarded. The ACGIH, NIOSH, International Organization for Standardization, and European Standard Committee (ISO/CEN-ISO Standard 7708:1995) specify a collection efficiency curve with a median cut-point at 4 µm. When performing respirable dust sampling with cyclones, it is important to adjust the flow rate to give the closest possible match over the whole curve (not just at a single point). The ACGIH/ISO/CEN curve requires using the flow rate that minimizes the bias of the cyclone separation from this curve. New York University Medical Center, a leading aerosol research organization, has calibrated the SKC Aluminum Cyclone and the results were carefully evaluated for bias over the whole curve, showing that 2.5 L/min* most closely matches the curve. The SKC Aluminum Cyclone meets the ACGIH/ISO/CEN curve at 2.5 L/min as specified in NIOSH Method 0600. The SKC Aluminum Cyclone is also specified in NIOSH 7500 for Silica and NIOSH 0600 for Particulates Not Otherwise Regulated. The SKC Aluminum Cyclone is available in two sizes: 25 mm for use with 25-mm three-piece cassettes and 37 mm for use with 37-mm three-piece cassettes. The filter material, pore size, and support pad must be selected as specified by the sampling method used. A cyclone's collecting efficiency may be influenced by electrostatic effects. If the cyclone carries a net charge, particles of the same charge will be repelled by the cyclone and will not be sampled efficiently. SKC cyclones are constructed of conductive materials that eliminate the static problem associated with nylon (non-conductive) cyclones. * As previously published, a 2.6-L/min flow rate will yield a 4-µm 50% cut-point, however, 2.5-L/min flow will provide a better match over the entire curve. Contact SKC Inc. for a copy of the calibration report on the SKC Aluminum Cyclone. † Determined using experimental data obtained at flows from 2 to 4 L/min Operation The SKC Aluminum Cyclone is used with a three-piece filter cassette, a filter cassette holder, and a constant flow personal sampling pump such as one of the SKC Universal XR Series samplers. A representative weighed filter with a support pad is placed into a three-piece cassette (with inlet section removed) and attached to the cyclone. The cyclone-cassette assembly is then attached to the filter cassette holder. The pump with the cyclone-cassette assembly in line is calibrated with a primary standard calibrator such as the Defender Calibrator Cat. No. 717 Series. The grit pot remains on the cyclone during calibration and sampling. The cyclone is clipped to a worker’s collar or pocket as close to the breathing zone as possible. The pump is clipped to the worker’s belt or placed in a protective pouch. The pump is activated and the worker wears the apparatus during the entire sampling period. After sampling, the filter cassette is removed, sealed, and sent with all data to a laboratory for analysis. Calibration Adaapter The aluminum calibration adapter fits over the stem of both the 25 and the 37-mm cyclones and allows standard 1/4-inch ID Tygon tubing to be attached for calibrating the airflow. Calibration Adapter 225-01-03 Holder for 25 and 37-mm Cassettes The lightweight filter cassette holder is designed to attach to a worker's collar and will accommodate either 25-mm cassettes with cowl or two or three-part 37-mm cassettes with or without a cyclone. Filter Cassette Holder 225-1 Cyclone/cassette assembly in filter cassette holder Cyclones Named for the rotation of air within its chamber, the cyclone is a particle size selector for sampling airborne particulates. It functions on the same principle as a centrifuge: the rapid circulation of air separates particles according to their equivalent aerodynamic diameter with the respirable particles collecting on the filter while the larger particles fall into the grit pot to be discarded. The cyclone/filter assembly is attached to a worker's collar near the breathing zone. Respirable Dust and Sampling Efficiency Curves Respirable dust refers to particles that settle deep within the lungs that are not ejected by exhaling, coughing, or expulsion by mucus. Since these particles are not collected with 100% efficiency by the lungs, respirable dust is defined in terms of sampling efficiency curves. These curves are sometimes referred to in terms of the 50% sampling efficiency or cut-point at a certain flow rate. Sampling flow rate affects the 50% cut-point of a cyclone. The SKC Aluminum Cyclone provides a 50% cut-point of 4 micron at 2.5 L/min and 3.5 micron at 2.8 L/min (click to enlarge) A cyclone will not sample optimally if it is influenced by electrostatic charge. SKC cyclones are constructed of conductive plastic or aluminum that eliminates the static problem associated with nylon (non-conductive) cyclones. Cleaning cyclones before sampling prevents deviation in the collection efficiency curves. In good condition
