Page 7: Overview
OVERVIEW PRELIMINARY NOTE The CIP10 is a small unit for collecting dust suspended in air. It was designed and developed in the 80s at CHERCHAR (Centre d’Études et de Recherches de Charbonnage de France [French Research Center of Coal Mines]) now INERIS (Institut National de l’Environnement Industriel et des Risques [National Institute on Environment and Industrial Risks]) by Paul Courbon. -
Page 8: Architecture
OVERVIEW 3. ARCHITECTURE The instrument has the shape of a long compact block, having a cylindrical selector and rotating cup for collecting selected particles in its upper part, and a flat box enclosing the operating components in the lower part: motor, batteries and electrical control circuit. -
Page 9: Description Of The Cip 10
OVERVIEW DESCRIPTION OF THE CIP 10 THE INSTRUMENT The drawing of the CIP 10 R (respirable alveolar dust version) shown below includes: A protective cap for the air inlet A selector which can accept different devices for separating dust A rotating cup equipped with a polyurethane foam filter (or the liquid cup for the CIP 10 M) which is mounted on a motor shaft The enclosure for the rotating cup with its air outlet orifice These operating elements are enclosed in the box:... -
Page 10: Particle Selectors
OVERVIEW PARTICLE SELECTORS The CIP10 equipped with these selectors samples the aerosols according to the conventional curves described in the European standard NF EN 481 except for the case of very fine particles. In fact, the CIP10’s collection principal generates a discharge of very fine particles (like the human body). -

PRÉSENTATION 2. T CIP 10 T CIP 10 MT HORACIC RACTION ARTICLE ELECTOR FOR THE Thoracic particles are selected by deflecting streams of air through 90° towards eight openings distributed radially on the edge of a cylindrical stainless steel tube. Since the largest particles experience significant inertial forces, they are not deflected and are captured at the base of the selector. -

Page 13: Operation
OPERATION AIR ASPIRATION AND CIRCULATION The CIP10 includes a rotating cup equipped with polyurethane foam, mount- ed on the shaft of the motor turning at high-speed, inside an enclosure that has an axial air inlet and a tangential air outlet. The rotation of the cassette formed that way generates airflow by a fan-like effect and assures the cap- ture of the aerosol fraction previously selected by the selector placed upstream of the system. - Page 14 OPERATION TECHNICAL OPERATING PROPERTIES BATTERIES Nominal voltage : 7,2 Vdc Capacity : 0,5 Ah Operating time : > 40 hours, approximately MOTOR Voltage applied : 5.5 Vdc ± 0.5 Vdc Rotational speed : 7000 RPM (6800 RPM with the instrument open) Power consumption : 15 mA ±...

Page 15: Usage
USAGE PREPARATION OF THE CIP 10 The collection head is made up of the selector attached to the rotating cup’s enclosure. The preparation of the selectors corresponding to the different dust fractions to be collected is done in the following manner: CIP 10 R FRACTION SELECTOR Two different foams are used in the selector. -
Page 16: Cip 10 I Fraction Selector
USAGE with respect to the diffuser. Check that there’s a cover on the head of the selection chamber. When using the CIP10 in the presence of fibrous vegetable products (cotton, flax, etc.), it is appropri- ate to fit the sampling head with an anti-fiber grill (9) to avoid the partial obstruction of the aspiration slit and selector orifices. -
Page 17: Specific Case Of Collecting In A Dry Atmosphere
USAGE At the end of sampling (after a few hours), the CIP10 M must be stopped when upright. The collection solution can then be recovered, potentially diluted and analyzed by a counting technique (culturing) or identification (PCR, epifluores- cence, ATP assay, etc.). 1. -
Page 18: On Site
USAGE The CIP10 M can operate in any position. The collection solution is effectively flattened against the inside walls of the rotating cup by centrifugal force. However, before starting up, the CIP10 and must be kept upright to avoid spilling any fluid. Because of the cup’s rotational moment of inertia, the CIP10 M must also be maintained upright and stay that way for several tens of seconds before stopping. -
Page 19: In The Laboratory After Collection
USAGE IN THE LABORATORY AFTER COLLECTION With the CIP10 (or CIP10 M) kept in an upright position, remove the head from the instrument and carefully take out the cup using a cup extractor. If this is being done in advance, cover it with its cover and take out the closed container. -
Page 20: Operating Stability
STABILITY, ADJUSTMENT AND VERIFICATION OPERATING STABILITY CIP10 (or CIP10 M) do not need any external control or adjustment. In fact it has a remarkable flowrate stability. The constant flow rate, linearly related to the rotating cup’s rotation speed, is assured by keeping this speed constant by regulating the motor’s supply volt- age within ±... - Page 21 STABILITY, ADJUSTMENT AND VERIFICATION This is the operating procedure: Verify that the battery has been correctly charged Remove the two largest screws located on the rotating cup. Remove the equip- ment from inside the box in order to get access to the potentiometer. Block up the screw holes (or simply leave them in place) to avoid any escape of air Place the rotating cup containing its polyurethane foam on the motor shaft, put the appropriate selector on the CIP10 and put it in the sealed enclosure.

Page 22: Maintenance And Service After Sale
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE AFTER SALE During sampling, the rotation speed is kept constant by the control circuit. If the charge on the battery is insufficient, the CIP10 stops when the voltage goes below a certain threshold. With a fully charged battery that does not normally happen until after 40 hours of operation. -
Page 23: And Determining The Concentration
ATTACHMENT A WEIGHING THE DUST COLLECTED AND DETERMINING THE CONCENTRATION FOR THE CIP 10 PRINCIPLE The determination of the mass of the dust collected is done by weighing the rotating cup with its polyurethane foam before and after the collection using a laboratory balance with a precision at least equal to 0.1 mg. -
Page 24: Packaging Of The Cups
ATTACHMENT A PACKAGING OF THE CUPS The collection and reference cups are weighed at the same time, the refer- ence cups are interspersed in the series of cups to be measured. After adjusting the balance (zero adjustment), each cup is carefully placed on the tray and its weight is read after stabilization (about 10 to 20 seconds). -
Page 25: Other Possibilities
ATTACHMENT A deposit needs to be included. If this happens, then it’s necessary to weigh the cone before and after collection (or after cleaning if it wasn’t weighed in advance) and to include the difference in weight when determining the mass of the dust collected. -
Page 26: Introduction
ATTACHMENT B PROCESSING OF FOAMS AND ANALYSIS OF THE DUST COLLECTED BY THE CIP 10 INTRODUCTION Open celled polyurethane foam is a carbon product, highly meshed, particu- larly resistant to chemical agents, and stable. It can be washed, incinerated or mineralized depending on the type of analysis to be performed. WASHING The foams are washable like clothes in a washing machine or by hand, and can be reused after drying for any other weighing determinations. -
Page 27: Mineralization
ATTACHMENT B Ignite the ethanol and allow it to burn until the flames go out Place the crucible containing the carbonaceous residue in an oven at 700°C for three hours Removes the crucible and allow to cool Weigh the crucible with the ash and determine the weight of the ash and its percentage compared to the original dust Only use new foams for this method. -
