Per venire incontro alle esigenze della clientela e fornire uno strumento unico per il campionamento di Biossido di Zolfo (SO2) e Biossido di Azoto (NO2), sono stati rimossi i codici P.702R e P.704R (rispettivamente Ring per campionamento di SO2 e NO2) e sostituiti con l’unico codice P.711R (Ring per il campionamento di SO2/ NO2) che permette il campionamento di entrambi gli inquinanti con la stessa cartuccia adsorbente.

In fase di analisi, l’estrazione dell’inquinante sarà unica ottenendo dunque informazioni o su biossido di zolfo o su biossido di azoto.

Inoltre, si comunica che la nuova cartuccia adsorbente per i seguenti inquinanti: SO2/NO2 , HF , CO2 , NH3 e H2S è in materiale plastico con tappo di chiusura di colore blu.

The vials, once used, can be inerted with water and then disposed as special waste.
Tubes can be used within a temperature range between 0 and 40 ° C and a humidity from 3 to 50 mg/l (corresponding to 100% relative humidity at 40 °C).

For the transport of the sampled filters to the laboratories, as indicated in the method UNICHIM 285-2003, you must “Use suitable containers to prevent damage during the trip. It is preferable to use anti-static material containers and equipped with contoured cover, to ensure the locking of the circumference of the filter where the dust is not deposited”.

To meet this need AQUARIA offers its filter cassettes, protected by utility model No. 952 465

MAIN FEATURES

• available for membranes of 25 mm, 37 mm and 47 mm diameter
• made of antistatic plastic to not electrify the membranes and bring interference in the weighing phase
• closure that prevents the entrance of moisture and dust during transportation
• contoured cover to ensure the locking of the filter on the circumference thus avoiding that the filter adheres to the inside of the lid and lose the sampled particulate
• equipped, on the circumference, with two lateral slides (for right and left handed) to facilitate the filter plug with tweezers

NIOSH, OSHA and EPA rules involve use of adsorbent tubes for “active” sampling  of many toxic chemicals present in the atmosphere or in the duct flows as gases and vapors. From the quantity of captured substance, and determined analytically, it is possible, knowing the total volume of aspirated air, to determinate the concentration present in the environment.

Adsorbenti “Tubes”, produced by AQUARIA, have been developed  in compliance with D. Lgs. n. 81/08: the two ends are closed with airtight caps and therefore it is no longer necessary to break the vial before use but  just remove the caps.
The caps are also useful to prevent accidental breakage of vials: if dropped their diameter, slightly larger than the diameter of the vial itself, is a good protection.
With the aid of practical extractor (provided), you can easily rotate the porous plugs (and extract them if needed) thus removing the substrate without breaking the vial. This will prevent accidental injuries and the shedding of  glass.
The opening system also ensures a homogeneous and linear air inlet flow as the entry point  prevents the development of possible turbulence

Duct geometry display

Velometer  is a highly reliable and handy instrument realized for the control of temperature variations and ΔP in conveyed flows, to calculate their speed. Coupled with all kinds of our probes, Velometer gives an instantaneous reading of the pressure difference via a needle transducer and displays the flow temperature through a high precision display.Iit is supplied with hose, plywood connector for connection to the thermocouple and power cord.

Instruments are available with different ranges:
• Velometer 20: range 0-25 mm H₂O (code A.3007)
• Velometer 50: range 0-50 mm H₂O (code A.3008)

ISOBOOK α is a portable meter of emissions speed compliant with UNI EN 13284 and 16911, ISO 9096.

Thanks to electronic transducers of ΔP, temperature and pressure connected to Darcy pipes and thermocouples, the instrument allows total characterization of any emission for sampling in perfect isokinetism. It’s known that a proper definition of dust concentration in emission requires the adoption of sampling techniques providing maintenance of the isokinetic regime during the entire processus. This condition is obtained by means of an accurate and continuous measurement of the fumes speed and control of the sampling isokinetic flow rate.
ISOBOOKα has been conceived to fix these problems and has been realized using modern miniaturized computer systems combined with great precision and small-size measuring sensors. The heart of ISOBOOKαis a small computer which, connected to ΔP, pressure and temperature sensors, is able to acquire and check all the thermodynamic parameters of the fluid in emission, automatically calculating both fumes speed and the correct isokinetic flow.
The different operating menus of the program also allow the complete characterization of the chimney, according to the regulations defining both the number of sub areas and the points to be examined in the duct with the relative distance from the edge.
Once the preliminary velocity measurements and the calculation of the ideal nozzle diameter to fit in the sampling probe have been made, ISOBOOKα calculates the isokinetic rate that the operator shall have to adjust on his/her own air sampler. This data, fundamental for a correct sampling, is then updated on the basis of new speed measures according to a user-specified frequency, giving constant information about any new sampling condition to allow a continuous sampling control.
As previously said ISOBOOKα has a structured program menu briefly described

Definition of the duct geometry 
With this first subprogram the user can identify the emission, through the assignment of a number that will help him to retrieve stored data when necessary, and, also, to introduce the geometric data of the conduit getting from the computer calculation of the number of points to be examined and their distance from the chimney edge. The calculation program, according to UNICHIM indications, is applied both to circular ducts and rectangular ones.

Definition of emission general parameters
In this menu, the operator sets the peculiar characteristics of the smoke (density, mole fraction of water vapour and so on.) as well as the Darcy constant used and mediation time of the acquired data.

Recording of leak test
The operator can perform a leak test on his complete sampling line for a variable period till 5 minutes, as required by UNI EN 16911. The obtained data can be memorised and downloaded to PC for printing.

Definition of average speed
With this subprogram the operator can measure the speed by placing the Darcy pipe at points of interest and displaying on the screen all the main parameters (ΔP, fumes and ambient temperature, speed etc.). At the end of the acquisition time it is also recorded the average speed for every single point as well as the overall average speed. 
In the speed determination is also taken into account the wall effect and the Swirl’s angle, as required by the UNI EN 16911.
Therefore it is possible to define precisely the profile of the speed in the conduit, an indispensable condition to perform a good isokinetic sampling and characterize the emission.

Definition of the nozzle diameter
This submenu provides a visual summary of the average values of the measured quantities and allows to obtain the calculation of the ideal nozzle diameter.
It is also possible, from a known available diameter, to obtain the calculation of the relative isokinetic flow.

Calculation and display of the isokinetic flow 
On this page the user sees the most important information: the isokinetic flow rate to be set on the sampler. By activating this program on the screen all the most important parameters for the isokinetic sampling are displayed including, of course, the flow rate in litres per minute calculated according to the parameters measured directly by ISOBOOK α  and updated with the frequency set by the operator. The user can run the sampling in perfect s isokinetism  just by adjusting on his own sampler the flow rate shown by  ISOBOOK   α   and the providing adjustments by following computer directions. The use of a microprocessor is essential especially for storage capacity and management: it is in fact possible to store up to 60 measurements, thus preserving the averages of all the parameters that are fully catalogued on the display with the date and time of the event and number of processed area. All data can then be printed, included in a  report, downloaded on any computer  IBM compatible and recalled at any time. ISOBOOK   α   can be powered by network (with an adapter) or battery; this feature – in addition to the small size and low weight – makes it easily to be used in any situation.
