OPERATION

Guide to Measurement and Sampling

Operating the MDM300 I.S. is very straightforward, but sampling conditions can vary 

greatly from one application to another. To get the best possible response speed, the 

appropriate procedure should be followed. 

!

HIGH PRESSURE! High pressure gases are potentially 

hazardous. Energy stored in these gases can be released 

suddenly and with extreme force. High pressure systems 

should be assembled and operated only by people who have 

been trained in proper safety practices.

!

POSSIBLE INJURY! The tubing, valves and other apparatus 

attached to this instrument must be adequate for the 

maximum pressure which will be applied, otherwise physical 

injury to the operator or bystander is possible.

For the most basic measurement it is recommended to have a flow meter (0 to 1 l/min), 

and at least one metering valve.

A number of sampling kits are available from Michell Instruments:

• 

The Easi-fit sample kit is a low cost sampling system consisting 

of 2 metering valves and a flow meter which is suitable for many 

applications.

• 

The MDM300 panel-mount sampling system offers a complete package 

for conditioning of a sample, prior to measurement with an MDM300. 

It is contained within an optional flight case which allows for easy 

transport of everything required to make the measurements. The anti-

static construction of the case makes it suitable for use in hazardous 

areas.

Specialized kits are available for the measurement of atmospheric pressure samples, 

compressed air, medical gas and SF
