These sample bags feature a single stainless steel or PTFE fi tt ing. The hose connection,
shut-off valve, and syringe port with PTFE-lined septum are all contained within
the single-port fi tt ing.
Guidelines for Bag Sampling
1. Ensure that the bag material and fi tt ings are appropriate for the compounds
to be sampled.
2. Use only PTFE tubing to connect the bag to the pump to prevent sample loss
by adsorption on tubing walls.
3. Before using, fl ush the bag thoroughly with purifi ed air or nitrogen.
4. Analyze the sample within 24 to 48 hours aft er sampling. Long-term storage
of air-contaminant mixtures in bags is not recommended.
5. Do not ship sample bags by air unless the cargo cabin is pressurized.
6. Infl ate bag properly; see page 2 for details.
FlexFoil Bag Note: Due to the physical properties of foil bag material, minor crimps
and creases may appear on the bags during SKC manufacturing and quality testing
as well as user handling. These marks only affect the aesthetics of the bag and not
its performance. Foil bags exhibiting minor crimps and creases are not subject to
replacement or refund as functionality is not affected.
Cautions
SKC sample bags are designed for sampling air at atmospheric pressure only.
Att empting to pressurize the bag will result in bag rupture and sample loss. Do not
ship bag samples by air freight in a non-pressurized cargo cabin. Bags can burst
under such conditions.
All federal and state packaging and transporting regulations apply.
Do not use sample bags to sample compounds with boiling points > 249.8 F (121 C).
Failure to follow warnings and cautions voids any warranty.
Sample bags are designed for single use only.
