Single Stainless Steel or PTFE Fitted Bags
233, 240, 243, 253, and 263 Series Sample Bags
These sample bags feature a single stainless steel or PTFE fitting. The hose
connection, shut-off valve, and syringe port with 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 after 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 Proper Bag Infl ation for details).
7. Due to the physical properties of FlexFoil
creases may appear on the bags during SKC manufacturing, quality testing,
and user handling. These marks only aff ect the aesthetics of the bag and not
its performance. FlexFoil bags exhibiting minor crimps and creases are not
subject to replacement or refund as functionality is not aff ected.
• 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).
• SKC bag fi tt ing valves are extremely durable but are not intended for use as handles or
hanging devices. This type of handling may damage the seal, causing leakage. This is
considered to be misuse and will void the SKC warranty.
• Failure to follow warnings and cautions voids any warranty.
• Sample bags are designed for single use only.
