Installation and Operation 4–5
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
tubing such as specified in the optional accessories table in Chapter 1.
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.
