Parallel Particle Impactor (PPI), Respirable, Aluminum, 8 L/min Features

  • Collection efficiency precisely matches ISO/CEN 7708:1995 size-selection criteria
    • Respirable PPI Samplers meet specifications in the 2013 OSHA NPRM for silica
  • Economical and reusable – use with any suitable 37-mm filter 
  • Load with disposable pre-oiled impaction substrates
    • Reduce particle bounce and buildup effects
  • Only 3.3 ounces (93.6 grams) – ideal for both personal and area sampling
  • 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
