Inlet on the Sample Tube
The Partisol 2000
i
Sampler is now configured for PM
10
sampling. There is
no difference in Sampler programming or operation with the Sampler
configured as a PM
10
or PM
2.5
Sampler. The Sampler properly measures
and calculates sample volumes in Standard and Volumentric conditions
regardless of the Sampler configuration.
Note
Make sure that the filter cassettes, tranport containers, and data
sheets are clearly labeled as PM
10
sampling filters or sampling data when
you install the PM
10
inlet and straight tube on the Partisol 2000
i
Sampler.
Also ensure that the proper filters are used for the type of sampling being
performed.

PM

is reported to a standard temperature and standard pressure. Set the
standard temperature to values appropriate for the specific location and
agency. The U.S. EPA requires that these values be 25 °C for temperature
and the standard pressure be 760 mmHg. Refer to “
Standard Temperature
”
on page
9-24
and “
Standard Pressure
” on page

Converting a PM
10
configured Sampler to a Sampler configured for PM
2.5
sampling can be accomplished by removing the PM
10
pass through adapter
tube, and installing the VSCC, or WINS impactor, and adapter. Follow
the Steps for converting a Sampler from a PM
2.5
configuration to a PM
10
configuration, but in reverse order as described below.
Use the following procedure to convert a PM
10
Sampler to a PM
2.5
Sampler.
