Connecting Sample Tubing
Sample tubing is used to carry a sample from a location close to a
critical process to the particle counter a short distance away. This
requires 3/8 inch OD tubing attached to the instrument inlet with
a knurled nut. Tubing length should be kept as short as possible
with minimum bend radii to minimize particle loss. In addition,
care should be taken not to use tubing that may carry a very high
static charge (such as Teflon
®
tubing). This will act like a filter
and prevent particles being sampled into the device.
