The Partisol-FRM Sampler is a robust single-filter sampler for the collection of airborne particulate matter

It is based upon the original Partisol Model 2000 Air Sampler, with its demonstrated ability to function under meteorological extremes.

Product Details

Applications
The Partisol-FRM Sampler is used to sample PM-10, PM-2.5, PM-1 or TSP (total suspended particulate matter) suspended in ambient air. The particulate matter is collected on 47 mm diameter filters. These are weighed in a laboratory to determine the 24-hour average mass concentration, and can also be analyzed for chemical composition.

Technology
The Partisol-FRM Sampler incorporates the advanced features introduced with the original Partisol Model 2000 Air Sampler in the mid-1990. These include high-quality constant volumetric flow control provided by the ActiVol flow control system, and a microprocessor system that facilitates operation, data handling and QA procedures.

Regulatory Status
The Partisol -FRM Sampler has the USEPA PM-2.5 Reference Method Designation RFPS-0498-117, and the USEPA PM-10 Reference Designation RFPS-1298-126. When the Very Sharp Cut Cyclone (VSCC) Inlet is used in place of the WINS impactor, the Partisol-FRM has the USEPA PM-2.5 FEM Manual Equivalent Method EQPM-0202-143Details

The Partisol-FRM Model 2000 Air Sampler from Rupprecht & Patashnick (R&P) is USEPA reference method designated for both PM-2.5 and PM-10.. It is the proven manual sampling platform for the new USEPA PM-2.5 standard. It is based upon the original Partisol Air Sampler, which received the USEPA reference designation for PM-10 measurements in June 1994.

The Partisol sampling platform has been used worldwide in a wide range of climate extremes, from temperatures lower than -40 C to higher than +50 C. It also has a proven track record in high-humidity areas such as southeast Asia and the southern US. Its small size and low weight facilitate shipping, transport and setup.

The Partisol-FRM Sampler meets or exceeds the USEPA manual requirements. The instrument has already received the ETL electrical designation (UL- and CSA-equivalent, CE), and is manufactured in R&P ISO 9001-certified facility.

Many of the features required by the USEPA in the PM-2.5 reference sampling method were first incorporated in a USEPA-certified reference sampler in R&P original Partisol Sampler. These include the following:

• Sample flow rate of 1 m³/h (16.7 l/min) through a single 47 mm filter.
• Standard 47 mm filters with convenient filter exchange mechanism.
• Full microprocessor control and data handling (interval and filter data).
• ActiVol automatic volumetric flow control (low volume).
• Straightforward audit procedures.

Features
• USEPA designated for PM-2.5 sampling (RFPS-0498-117) and PM-10 sampling (RFPS-1298-126).
• Field-proven sampling platform in extremes of temperature and humidity.
• ETL (UL- and CSA-equivalent) approval, CE designation.
• Manufactured and supported by Rupprecht & Patashnick, an ISO 9001 company.
• ActiVol flow control using a pressure and temperature compensated mass flow controller and proven AC vacuum pump.
• Built-in software support for five-point flow rate calibration using the innovative Streamline FTS flow transfer standard or volumetric flow meters.
• Single-movement filter exchange using innovative filter exchange mechanism.
• Filter cassette carrier eliminates in-field handling of filters and cassettes.
• Hardware configuration allows for easy exchange of WINS PM-2.5 Impactor.
• Menu-driven user interface provides powerful capabilities and promotes ease of use.
• Capacity of 14 days of interval data (recorded every 5 minutes) and 25 records of filter data (recorded every filter).
• Bi-directional communication with palmtop computer for simple data retrieval and in-field review (photo right).

Filter Analyses and Support Services
For commercial and network users of the Partisol Air Sampler, IML Air Science provides quality-assured filter weighing and analysis services using NIST-traceable analytical equipment. In addition to offering pre- and post-collection gravimetric analyses of Partisol filters, IML can also identify chemical constituents including carbon, metals, sulfates, and nitrates.
