Manufactured by Alaric, the 47mm filter cassette holds and supports the delicate filter in air samplers such as EPA PM2.5 Federal Reference Method (FRM) samplers and other types of air particulate samplers. Model FC47 series filter cassettes are manufactured in the United States. Each unit is CNC machined from wear-resistant white Delrin® acetal polymer to precise tolerances for a consistent leak-proof fit, and includes a precision perforated stainless steel filter backing disc.
Model FC47 series cassettes meet all EPA specifications for use in PM2.5 Federal Reference Method air samplers, and are also compatible with any other similar air sampling instruments. The filter cassette holds and supports a standard 46.2 or 47mm diameter filter disk during the air sample collection process. The cassettes can be loaded with PTFE, quartz fiber, glass fiber, or other common filter materials. Filter discs are not included.
Model FC47 series filter cassettes feature laser-etched serial numbers on the bottom of the perforated screen disc. Our transport can lids also feature etched fields for the Cassette ID and Filter ID serial numbers, which can be optionally marked with a wet-erase pen. The can lids can be cleaned for reuse.
Model FC47 filter cassettes are available with or without the innovative transport cans which protect the filter from damage or contamination during transportation and field deployment. The twist-top steel transport cans contain a machined internal spacer which prevents filter cassette movement inside the can. The cans do not contain any foam materials in order to eliminate the potential for sample contamination. Spare transport cans and classic stainless steel push-on type cassette transport caps are also available.
These filter cassettes are used on Met One's E-FRM series samplers, BGI's PQ series samplers and most of the Thermo FRM samplers. This series model does not work on Thermo's Partisol sampler which uses the chamfered type filter cassette (which Keika also offers).
