Modular Sampler Cases and Accessories


Modular Sample Cases

Apex Instruments Modular Sample Case Assemblies are versatile, lightweight and available in a variety of configurations. We offer two different filter ovens and two different risers that can attach to the bottom of both ovens and four different impinger cases. The impinger cases slide on and off for easy changing of the impingers between test runs. Several standard assemblies are available or the individual components can be purchased separately. Please inquire for additional details.
SB-50 Modular Sample Case Assembly
Includes: SB-2M, SBR-10 and SB-3.


SB-1 Sample Case Assembly

Includes: SB-2 and SB-3



Filter Ovens

The heated filter compartments for both the SB-2M and SB-2 accept standard 2, 3, and 4 inch filter units. The ovens are constructed of lightweight aluminum with stainless steel clamps and hardware and thermally insulated with Kaowool®. Internal reinforcements reduce flexing of the box when testing with long probes. Front and rear doors provide greater accessibility. The interior is lined with non-contaminating aluminum. The rugged tubular heating element is quick heating and is sealed against moisture. The handle is designed for attaching to a monorail for easy traversing. The new stronger 1 inch probe clamp may easily be removed from the oven and replaced from a selection of alternative probe clamps. The SB-2M is our most popular model and is designed to be used in the traditional “rigid” or “flexible” arrangement. For the “rigid” arrangement a SBR-10 is required for mounting the impinger case. The SB-2 is the traditional full size filter oven designed exclusively for “rigid” arrangements requiring a cyclone before the filter. An alternative mini cyclone is offered for the SB-2M..

Heated Filter Box Standard Features:

• Lightweight Aluminum Construction

• Mounting Hardware for Riser
• Double Doors
• Handle/Monorail Attachment
• Removable Insulated Panels
• Stainless Steel Latches
• Internal Reinforcement

Risers

Sample Case Risers attach to the base of the filter oven for test methods requiring extra height between the filter outlet and the first impinger. The SBR-10 Riser is required for attaching the impinger case to the SB-2M for rigid arrangements. The SBR-18 Riser is primarily used for Modified Method 5 sampling when using a vertical condenser.

Part # Description
SBR-10 10 inch Riser with Compartment for the SB-2M Impinger Box.
SBR-18 18 inch Riser with Insulated Reservoir for the MM5 Vertical Sampling Train.

Impinger Cases

Four different removable Impinger Cases are available. The cases are now constructed from thicker aluminum to reduce cracking and feature durable polyethylene foam insulation, a pre-punched foam insert for holding the impinger bottles in place, fold down handle with rope centering guide and two high strength brackets for mounting strain relief. The cases slide on and off for easy changing of the impingers between test samples. All cases except the caddy are equipped with a spring-loaded latch to prevent accidental slippage and chrome plated drain valve. The caddy accepts inexpensive removable liners.

Modular Sample Frame (SB-8)

    The Modular Sample Frame (SB-8) with Probe Clamp is an ideal addition
    for sampling methods that require no heated filter compartment. Used
    with Method 8, Method 306 and in-stack filtration methods. The SB-8
    secures the probe and impinger case in a rigid manner.
    Tip: The UA-3J supplies power to the probe in set-ups without heated filter compartment.
