Scope1.1 This practice describes the calibration of samplingpumps commonly used for monitoring personal airborne ex-posures in the work-place.1.2

3、 This practice includes procedures for describing primaryand secondary calibration techniques.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health pra

Terminology3.1 For definitions of terms used in this practice, refer toTerminology D 1356.3.2 The term primary flow-rate calibration, as used in thispractice, does not imply the calibration is traceable to aprimary standard, unless the ap

6、paratus used in the calibration(burets, stop-watches, etc.) has been demonstrated to betraceable to national or international standards, and that thistraceability is established on a routine (generally annual) basis.Traceability of calibration is strongly recommended.4. Summary of Practice4.1 Abubbl

Provisions are made for both manual and automatedbubble meters.4.2 Secondary calibration procedures for field applicationsare a

8、lso included in the practice (see 7.3).5. Significance and Use5.1 Most occupational exposure assessment methods re-quire the use of personal sampling pumps to collect air samplesat typical workplace sampling rates, with sampling volumesspecified by (a) particular procedure(s). The precision and bias

9、of these methods are directly affected by the precision and biasof the pumps used to measure the air volume(s) sampled.6. Apparatus6.1 Burets, 1-L (for high flow) and 100-mL or 10 mL (forlow flow).6.2 Manometer.6.3 Rotameter.6.4 Stop Watch.6.5 Electronic Bubble Meter or Near-frictionless PistonFlowm

Procedure7.1 Calibrate the personal sampling pumps before andmeasure after each days sampling.7.2 Primary Flow-rate Calibration Device(s):(as noted in 3.2, these are not primary standards unless theapparatus used in the calibration has

11、 been demonstrated to betraceable to national and international standards):7.2.1 Bubble Meter Method:7.2.1.1 Allow the pump to run five minutes prior to calibra-tion to stabilize pump.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D22 on Samplingand Analysis of Atmospheres and is the dir

The rotameter can then be used as an approximateindicator of flow-rate during the sampli
