1. INTRODUCTION
The TUFF
TM
air sampling pump is produced in three models, the TUFF Standard, TUFF Plus
and TUFF Pro.
This handbook covers the entire range of TUFF
TM
air sampling pumps.
The TUFF
TM
was developed to provide sampling capabilities between 5 ml/min and 4.5
l/min
(free air), suitable for a wide range of applications including solvent fumes, asbestos
clearance and personal sampling of dusts. TUFF
TM
pumps are ideally suited to many of the
“Total” and “Respirable” dust sampling techniques detailed in the U.K. Health and Safety
Executive’s publication MDHS14, and in other international reference methods.
The information contained in this handbook relates only to the operation of Casella CEL
sampling equipment and is not intended to advise or influence your adopted sampling
strategy. For advice on appropriate sampling methods, refer to local legislation and
guidelines as dictated by the relevant national and regional health and safety organisations.
Please make sure the TUFF
TM
and associated equipment supplied by Casella are not
damaged and the Inlet Nozzle is not restricted before attempting to use this instrument.
