 Sampling Pump

Catalog No. 228-9605 and 228-9605B

The  Vac-U-Go  non-compensating  vacuum  pump  is  a  rotary  vane-type  pump 

that provides flows up to 30 L/min and maintains sonic flow when used with the 

BioSampler. AC-powered, the Vac-U-Go Sampling Pump can be used for a variety 

of ambient and indoor air sampling applications including asbestos, bioaerosol, 

stack, VOC, and fenceline monitoring. It is ideal for sampling bioaerosols using 

the SKC BioSampler or the AGI-30 Impinger. 

The line-operated Vac-U-Go Sampling pump has a permanently lubricated motor 

that is mounted in a housing with a vacuum pressure gauge to indicate sonic flow 

and a throttling valve to adjust flow. Both models are supplied with an extension 

rod for mounting media and a power cord.

Page 3: ...ioSampler Operat ing Instructions Note Sonic flow is attained when a vacuum pump pulls air through an orifice to create a condi tion where the downstream pressure is 52 of the upstream pressure At this point air velocity through the orifice has reached the speed of sound and cannot increase therefore the orifice becomes critical The fixed air velocity at the critical orifice also limits the airflo...
