Hot Gas Sampling Probe and Trap
Instructions
Introduction
The Sampling Probe and Trap is designed for
use with the MSA Gascope
®
Series 300,
Gasport
®
, Passport
®
, Orion
®
G, and Mini
Series
TM
instruments. The Sampling Probe
and Trap consists of:
•
a stainless steel probe equipped with a
12-inch straight portion for insertion into a
furnace stack
•
a coiled portion for cooling the gas sample
and removing excess moisture.
The Probe and Trap is designed for sampling
flow rates in the range of 200 to 400
mL/minute (or for diffusion in the case of the
Mini Series units). The trap has an internal
volume of approximately 40 mL and will add
approximately 1/2-minute to the sampling time
required for a maximum or minimum instrument
reading for pumped instruments (or two
squeezes when using the squeeze bulb with
the Mini Series units).
Preparation for use
1. Connect the Probe and Trap to the instrument.
The outlet fitting accepts MSA 1/8-inch
diameter sampling lines; only the Orion G
instrument can accommodate the sampling
lines with airline fittings (see TABLE).
2.
For Pumped Instruments:
Operate the instrument pump and verify that
air is flowing into the Probe by momentarily
blocking the inlet with a finger. Note that the
instrument signals a blocked flow condition.
For Diffusion Instruments:
Block the air flow through the tubing.
Squeeze one time and ensure that the
aspirator bulb does not reinflate; this tests
for leaks.
WARNING
A metal probe conducts electricity; do not touch
high voltages when using the metal probe;
otherwise, injury or death can result.
3. Insert the probe into the furnace stack and
hold the trap in the vertical position. After
a few minutes of sampling, the trap bowl
may start to accumulate small drops of
water. If sampling is continued until water
reaches the level of the trap filter, it will
be necessary to unscrew, remove and
empty the water from the trap bowl.
4. When sampling is finished, remove the probe
from the stack.
CAUTION
The probe may be very hot; it takes several minutes
for the probe to cool enough to touch or store away.
5. Allow the instrument to draw ambient air
through the probe to help cool the probe and
thoroughly dry the internal bore of the probe.
6. Empty any water from the trap bowl before
storing.
