PM10 Sampling Procedures
For PM10
sampling, follow the steps below:
-
Ensure that the
PM10 impactor (silver) is installed in the preseparator
assembly. The multiple impactor adaptor is not needed, nor is the
PM2.5 impactor (gold).
-
Clean and lubricate
the target disk at least every 2-4 sampling periods, or more frequently
depending on the degree of impaction stage soiling.
-
After the sampler
has been assembled, calibrated, verified to be in proper working order,
and a filter loaded in the filter holder assembly, set flow rate
adjustment in accordance with procedures as shown in the Operation
Manual.
- Follow all other
procedures in the Operation Manual, noting that PM10 is
being sampled.
