The SGFA-47NK is Apex Instruments latest in-stack filter assembly kit. This features our unique design combination borosilicate glass 47mm filter inlet with integrated nozzle. This design allows the option to weigh the glass fiber filter media individually per Method 17 or similarly to Method 5I by weighing the combined nozzle, filter media with support, o-ring and PTFE tape. The kit includes the standard array of seven nozzle sizes from 1/8 inch to 1/2 inch.
             Glass In-Stack Filter Assemblies


The Apex Instruments GFA-2590 Thimble Holder is constructed totally from borosilicate glass for use with Conditional Method for Ammonia (CTM-027) and accepts tapered 25x90mm thimbles specifically manufactured for stack sampling (See page 30 for Filter Media). Our design does not require the use of o-rings. This allows for testing at higher temperatures. The borosilicate glass will withstand temperatures up to 480°C (900°F)

The GFA-2590K In-Stack Thimble Holder Kit includes a selection of the seven most commonly used nozzle inserts from 1/8 inch to 1/2 inch and one housing. The entire kit is conveniently packaged in a foam-lined carrying case for protection. The thimble holder connects directly to the end of the probe with a 5/8 inch tube union. Included in the kit is one Metal Taper Clip (KTM-29). Made of durable nickel plated steel to withstand temperatures of up to 500°C (932°F), this clip securely holds the conical joint under pressure.
