Description
Staplex® Model FR-1 and FR-2 Flow
Recorders provide a permanent written record of High Volume Air
Sampler performance to verify sampler flow rate over a 24-hour
period.
Models FR-1 and FR-2 connect to an
exhaust pressure tap of a High Volume Air Sampler, such as
Staplex® Model TFIA and TFIA-2. The air sampler flow rate is
recorded on a circular chart that is electrically driven by the
recorder. The flow recorder connects to the power source for
chart rotation over the sampling time.
The recorder's pressure measuring
elements are heat-treated to prevent hysteresis-related
inaccuracies. Models FR-1 and FR-2 are accurate to + 2 %
full scale. Each circular chart is calibrated in cubic feet per
minute (CFM) and cubic meters per minute (CMM), with 24-hour
chart movement gradations.
Staplex® Models FR-1 and FR-2 feature
metal case, which mounts to the inside the Staplex® SAM
Aluminum Outdoor Shelter or similar shelter. Models FR-1 and
FR-2 meet the requirements of a continuous flow recorder as
stated in 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix B Reference Method for
sampling Total Suspended Particulates (TSP) in the atmosphere
and 40 CFR Part 52, No. 120 Appendix J for PM10 Air Sampling.
Each unit includes 60 charts, pen,
tubing to connect to High Volume Air Sampler and plug-in
electrical connection.

Description
Staplex® Model FC-1 and FC-2 Flow
Controllers automatically control the mass flow rate through an
High Volume Air Sampler (such as Staplex® Model TFIA and
TFIA-2). The air sampler flow rate is maintained constant
regardless of filter loading, atmospheric conditions and line
voltage change.
Since the "mass" flow is
controlled (referenced to standard conditions of 76 cm Hg and 25 °
C), no corrections for ambient temperature or barometric
pressure changes are required. Staplex® Model FC-1 and FC-2
automatically control the standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM)
[or standard cubic meters per minute (SCMM)] sampled.
An easy access adjustable knob is used
to set the proper flow rate. This makes the FC-1 and FC-2 Flow
Controllers convenient to use in the field. Staplex® FC-1 and
FC-2 use the latest all solid-state electronics, high quality
printed circuit board, rugged metal-covered sensor and
weather-proof electronics enclosure.
In operation, the sensor is placed
downstream of the filter in the neck of the filter holder
assembly. The electrical output signal from the sensor is used
to regulate the air sample motor speed to maintain a constant
standard flow rate through the filter. Flow calibration in the
field is minimized because Models FC-and
FC-2 have excellent stability and repeatability. Accuracy
of Mass Flow Control at 40 CFM is ±2.5% deviation over 24-hour
sampling period.
Staplex® Models FC-1 and FC-2 can mount
to the inside of the Staplex® SAM Aluminum Outdoor Shelter or
similar shelter. Models FC-1 and FC-2 meet the requirements of
maintaining High Volume Air Sampler flow rate as stated in 40
CFR Part 50, Appendix B Reference Method for sampling Total
Suspended Particulates (TSP) in the atmosphere and 40 CFR Part
52, No. 120 Appendix J for PM10 Air Sampling.

Description
Air Flow Adjustment: Use
Staplex Model FA-1 series to adjust flow rate of Staplex® High
Volume Air Samplers. For any filter, Flow Adjuster can reduce
the flow rate from full flow rate to desired sampling rate. Flow
rate is read from the flow meter on the High Volume Air Sampler.
Minimum airflow is approximately 1.0
cubic feet per minute (0.3 cubic meters per minute).
Brush Seating: Air
Sampler motor brushes should be changed after every 800-1,000
hours of usage. Brushes should be checked for wear occasionally,
especially before long sampling periods. To achieve best
performance from Staplex® High Volume Air Samplers when
changing motor brushes, use Model FA- 1 series to seat new
brushes on the armature before full voltage is applied. After
brush change, set knob on FA-1 series Flow Adjuster/Brush Seater
to 7 and run air sampler for 30 minutes to accomplish this
seating. The sampler will return to full performance after an
additional 30 to 40 minutes running at full voltage. Direct
application of full voltage after changing brushes will cause
arcing, armature pitting and reduce overall life of the Air
Sampler.

Description
The Staplex® Model CKHV and Model
CKHV810 High Volume Calibration Kits are designed for use with
Staplex® Model TFIA, TFIA-2 and TFIA-4 High Volume Air Samplers
and allied instruments. The Calibration Kit offers a fast and
affordable calibration procedure that maximizes the accuracy of
all air sampling results by calculating the true flow rate of a
particular High Volume Air Sampler.
Model CKHV High Volume Calibration Kit
is used with High Volume Air Samplers equipped with 4 inch
(10.16 cm) diameter Filter Holder Assembly and includes a
Calibration Orifice prescribed for use by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, a water manometer, a series of resistance
plates, and a carrying case. Model CKHV810 additionally includes
an 8 inch by 10 inch (20.32 cm X 25.40 cm) Adapter for use in
calibrating whenever 8" x 1 0" Filter Holder
Assemblies are used on the Air Samplers. Model CKHV81 0 can also
calibrate while such samplers are mounted in a Staplex® SAM
Aluminum Outdoor Shelter or similar shelter. Special 8" X
10" Adapter is available separately as Part No. AD810
Adapter and can convert Model CKHV to calibrate Samplers using
8" X 10" Filter Holders. Similarly, removal of Adapter
from Model CKHV810 allows calibration of Samplers using 4"
diameter Filter Holders.
Principle of Operation
The Calibration Orifice and manometer
unit are factory calibrated on a Standard Positive Displacement
Rotary Type Meter, The airflow vs. static pressure data are used
to plot an Orifice Calibration Curve, which is furnished with
each Staplex® Calibration Kit.
The water manometer is center-mounted
between columns to eliminate parallax, and has a sliding zero
adjustment. The vinyl-plastic columns and spring steel scale
are flexible for easy carrying and will withstand rough use.
The Calibration Orifice connects
directly to the High Volume Air Sampler or onto the 8" x
I0" Adapter. One leg of the water manometer connects to the
pressure tap of the Calibration Orifice and the other leg
remains open to the atmosphere.
Using this arrangement, the High Volume
Air Sampler is run at different but constant airflows for 5
minutes each to simulate the resistance of filters varying from
clean to saturated. The different constant airflows are obtained
by simply placing the resistance plates, one at a time,
between the Calibration Orifice and the High Volume Air
Sampler to be calibrated. The manometer water pressure is
converted to Actual flow rate using the curve supplied with the
Staplex® Model CKHV. The Flowmeter (rotometer) reading is also
recorded on the data sheet. Using these data, a custom
calibration curve is plotted. This curve is the direct reference
to obtain the true flow rate of the High Volume Air Sampler.
Calibration Recommendations
Staplex® High Volume Air Samplers
should be calibrated in this manner when first purchased, after
every motor or brush change, anytime the Flowmeter (rotometer)
is replaced or adjusted, anytime a one-point audit check
deviates more than ± 7% from the custom calibration curve, or
at least every six months. U.S. EPA states that users should
calibrate the Flowmeters on High Volume Air Samplers at least
once a year.
