HiVol 3000 PUF Sampler

High Volume Particulate Air Sampler

The HiVol 3000 PUF sampler provides a flexible platform for sampling organic compounds and monitoring basic meteorological parameters. The PUF utilises polyurethane foam (PUF) to trap organic vapours in addition to collecting particulate matter and stores it in a sterile environment for later analysis.

Features

Reliable sampling

Volumetric flow control automatically corrected to standard reference temperature.

Directional sampling

Wind direction and speed used to activate / de-activate sampler. External trigger (0-5 VDC) can be used for activating sampling program.

Enhanced communication

RS232 output for data collection and remote communication.

Proven reliability

The HiVol 3000 PUF unit is a reliable, durable and proven sampler using volumetric flow control to maintain consistent flow and collect a truly representative sample of particulate matter. Optional attachments allow the sampler to measure wind speed and direction which can then be used to trigger sector selectable sampling (e.g. fence-line monitoring). The HiVol 3000 PUF incorporates advanced programming functions and electronic volumetric flow control to maintain a consistent flow and collect a truly representative sample.
