Ambient Air Quality Monitoring

PM162M rack version, installed in a shelter with other AQMS analyzers. / Charging of

the filter holder

Example: mural version of the sampler, installed in a fixed, outdoor air quality

particulate monitoring station

KEY FEATURES: Small size rack or mural instrument, designed to automatically sample particles on

a filter using a TSP, PM10, PM2.5 or PM1 inlet

Available in 2 versions:

• Standard size filter holder with 22 filters capacity

• Very high capacity filter holder (max 70 filters) allowing up to 69 days of unattended

daily sampling of particulate matter

True volumetric air flow control with atmospheric temperature and pressure sensors

to avoid artifacts in the size fractionating inlet

Exclusive temperature-regulated sampling tube to prevent artefacts on the filter

(evaporative losses of semi-volatile particulates...)

Programmable Rest Time function: enables a rest time (without sampling) between

the sampling cycles

User-selectable starting time mode (immediate, delayed, hourly synchronization)

Interactive user-friendly multi-task software

Modular design

LCD Graphic Display

Remote maintenance and diagnostics

2 serial ports for remote access and downloading of stored data

Compliant with the last EU CEN recommendations for PM2.5 sampling and

measurement

EN 12341 certifed (LECES, n°RC/L 9826)

MAIN APPLICATIONS:• Sequential sampling through PM10, PM2.5, PM1 and TSP size selective inlets

• Heavy metals sampling in ambiant air

• Indoor air sampling

• Field survey before setting up of a continuous analyzer

• Follow-up of a specific pollutant...

OPERATING PRINCIPLE:The PM162M sampler is compliant with the EN12341 standard and can be used to determine

the average ambient particulate concentration over the sampling period. The collected

material is weighed to determine concentration and can be subsequently chemically

analyzed.

The PM162M fine dust sampling system is designed to collect particles with aerodynamic

diameters of approximately 100 μm or less to be deposited uniformly across the surface

of a filter located downstream of the sampler inlet.

By means of a blower, the ambient air passes through the size-selective inlet and is drawn

into a thermo-controlled RST sampling line equipped with a temperature and humidity

sensor. Atmospheric temperature, pressure and relative humidity are essential factors

that must be taken into account in order to maintain precise and reliable sampling. This

is why the sampler hosts atmospheric pressure and temperature sensors to ensure a

constant true volumetric flow control.

The RST (Regulated Sampling Tube) is compliant with CEN PM10 and US-EPA standard:

the sample is not affected by seasonal or geographical factors and avoids condensation

or evaporative losses of semi-volatile particles.

The sample will be then collected on the downstream filter, mounted on convenient reusable

filter holder cassettes. A unique serial number stamped on each cassette facilitates tracking

for quality insurance purposes.

The filter cassettes, designed to avoid any filter alteration during handling, can be used

with different types of filters:

• Nitrocellulose

• PTFE

• Quartz or Glass fiber.
