Sampling Pump

Catalog No. 228-9605 and 228-9605B

The Vac-U-Go non-compensating vacuum pump is a rotary vane-type pump

that provides ﬂ ows up to 30 L/min and maintains sonic ﬂ ow when used with the

BioSampler

. AC-powered, the Vac-U-Go Sampling Pump can be used for a variety

of ambient and indoor air sampling applications including asbestos, bioaerosol,

stack, VOC, and fenceline monitoring. It is ideal for sampling bioaerosols using

the SKC BioSampler or the AGI-30 Impinger.

The line-operated Vac-U-Go Sampling pump has a permanently lubricated motor

that is mounted in a housing with a vacuum pressure gauge to indicate sonic ﬂ ow

and a thro ling valve to adjust ﬂ ow. Both models are supplied with an extension

rod for mounting media and a power cord.

Cautions • • • • • • • • Pump only clean, dry air. Protect pump from dirt and moisture. Pump is not intended for use outdoors. Protect surrounding items from pump exhaust air. Use only a three-wire grounded cable. Pump produces a high-pitched whine when operated. Do not pump flammable or explosive gases. Do not operate pump in hazardous locations; not UL Listed for intrinsic safety Operation The Vac-U-Go Sampler can be operated in two diﬀerent modes: non-compensating and BioSampler.

4. Sample for the desired sampling period. 5. Turn oﬀ pump and unplug from wall outlet. 6. Package sample appropriately for shipment to a laboratory (see BioSampler Operating Instructions). Note: Sonic flow is attained when a vacuum pump pulls air through an orifice to create a condition where the downstream pressure is 52% of the upstream pressure. At this point, air velocity through the orifice has reached the speed of sound and cannot increase, therefore, the orifice becomes “critical.
