Apparatus for sampling particulates in gases

A device for sampling particulates in gases is described. The device is used to obtain samples of the upper atmosphere. The equipment used a common source of gas pressure to provide the driving gas of an air ejector pump. The sample collection cylinder has many slit impactors running longitudinally on the outer surface of a cylinder and terminating just short of each end of the cylinder.

Air sampler collects and protects minute particles

Air ejector impactor sampler collects and protects samples of particles greater than 0.1 micron in diameter. In operation, it causes impaction of particle-laden air onto several collection surfaces within a collection cylinder. When not operating, the collector cylinder is maintained in a retracted state within a protective envelope.
