Parallel Particle Impactor, Disposable, Preloaded Thoracic - MCE Filter Overview

Parallel Particle Impactor (PPI), plastic, single-use disposable, four-stage, for thoracic sampling at 2 L/min. The PPI provides the closest match to the entire ACGIH/CEN/ISO thoracic curve compared to any other sampler available. Preloaded with four porous plastic disc impaction substrates, one 37 mm, 0.8-µm MCE collection filter, and one cellulose support, ea. OSHA ID 113 for sulfuric acid.

The Disposable PPI Advantage

  • Convenient single-use sampler eliminates assembly, cleaning, and two-way shipping costs
  • Small size and light weight provides worker comfort, even under helmets or other PPE
  • Choice of flow rates for maximum flexibility in pump options, sample duration, and contaminant concentration

Parallel Particle Impactor, Disposable, Preloaded Thoracic - MCE Filter Features

  • Collection efficiency precisely matches ISO/CEN 7708:1995 size-selection criteria
    • Respirable PPI Samplers meet specifications in the 2013 OSHA NPRM for silica
  • Single use means no cleaning or two-way shipping costs! 
  • Selection of flow rates available to meet specific applications
    • 8 L/min respirable PPI: Enhances sensitivity (for short-term and/or low concentration sampling) using high flow pumps; ideal for proposed lower OSHA PEL for silica
    • 4 L/min respirable PPI: Enhances sensitivity and can be used with personal pumps
    • 2 L/min respirable PPI: Standard TWA sampling
    • 2 L/min thoracic PPI: Metalworking fluids (NIOSH Method 5524) and thoracic TLV-TWA compounds such as sulfuric acid and cotton dust
  • Patented disposable PPIs are available pre-assembled with:
    • Filter and pre-oiled substrates for chemical analysis
    • Pre-oiled substrates only – add your own weighed filter for gravimetric analysis 
  • Reusable aluminum PPIs are available
  • Performance published in Journal of Physics and submitted to OSHA docket on silica
