Umbilical Cables

Standard Umbilical Cables

Standard Umbilical Cables are lightweight with braided cover. The easily repaired umbilical cable includes one kink-free, wire reinforced sample line, 3 kink-resistant polyethylene lines (2 pitot & 1 orsat line), 5 type K thermocouple extensions, and 1 five conductor electrical cable with 4-pin circular connectors. Thermocouple plugs are color coded. The sample line has 1/2 inch quick connect and the pitot lines have 1/4 inch quick connects standard (3/8 inch optional). Our custom manufactured quick connects are brass with Viton® o-rings. Stainless steel quick connects are optional. Standard lengths are 30, 60 and 90 feet. U-bag included.

Umbilical Adapters

Power Box Adapter (UA-3J)
The UA-3J connects to umbilical 4-pin circular connector and converts to three straight blade receptacles. Clamps to 1/2 inch sample line or GA-100 adapter. The UA-3J is used in conjunction with the Compact Method 5, Method 8, Method 17 and in other sampling situations in which power for the probe is not available due to the absence of a heated filter box.
Probe Power Adapter (UA-HJ)
UA-HJ connects to umbilical 4-pin circular connector and converts to a single receptacle for the probe power.

Heated Filter Box Power Adapter (UA-FP)

The UA-FP connects to the 4-pin circular connector on the filter oven and allows the oven to connect to a standard receptacle.

Cut-Back Umbilical Cables and Accessories for Flexible Sampling

Cut-Back Umbilical Cables are constructed the same way as our Standard Method 5 umbilicals with the sample line and exit thermocouple cut-back to the specified length. Cut-back umbilicals are useful when sampling with a flexible sample line as in Method 17, Flexible Method 5 set-ups and Compact Method 5. Used in flexible systems when the filter compartment is separated from impinger box. The umbilical lengths are specified according to overall length, and the cut-back distance of the sample line and exit thermocouple. Brass or stainless steel quick connects are available. Can be converted to a standard umbilical cable with the addition of the Umbilical Sample Line Extension (U-o-SLE).




Umbilical Sample Line Extension (U-o-SLE)
are used to adapt the cut-back umbilical to a standard Method 5 rigid arrangement. Comes standard with brass quick connects. Add suffix “S” for stainless steel option.

Heated Sample Line (HSRL-o-o) jumpers are used with flexible sampling trains when the method, such as Method 23, requires no condensation prior to the impingers. These are also used to ensure all water vapor transfers to the impingers as moisture content is an important variable in the isokinetic rate equation. A temperature control device is recommended to prevent overheating.
Sample Line Accessories include PTFE or stainless steel socket /ball adapters and strain relief which are used to adapt the sample lines to the sampling train.
