It consisted of an
isokinetic sampling head attached to a 37 mm (1.5 in) open-faced filter holder, a critical venturi, and a sampling pump.
The Thai Nguyen province selected eleven (11) of their most qualified technicians to attend the ESS training seminar to further focus their Apex Instruments isokinetic sampling skills.
-A review of the basic operation of the isokinetic sampling equipment
The AirPort MD8 sampler takes advantage of
isokinetic sampling favorable for obtaining an accurate measurement of both small and large particles.
Achieving or approaching
isokinetic sampling conditions is particularly important in an area in which air sampling is done under dynamic conditions.
The sample flow, about 10 L/min, and nozzle inlet, 4.8 mm, were selected to insure
isokinetic sampling. The all glass construction of the filter collection system allowed ready inspection and ease of cleaning.
The exhaust flow was sampled through a fixed, multipoint,
isokinetic sampling rake in the exhaust duct immediately downstream of the gas turbine through a heated sampling hose.
Smoke obscuration measurements are made in the exhaust duct by a helium-neon laser with silicon photodiodes as main beam and reference detectors, and appropriate electronics to derive the extinction coefficient and set also provided in the exhaust duct for
isokinetic sampling probes for determining concentrations of gaseous combustion products, typically the carbon oxides.
The sampling inlet velocity was 387 ft/min (1.97 m/s) that approximated
isokinetic sampling in the plume.
Standard
isokinetic sampling nozzles were used in this study.
