Escort® ELF Sampling Pump

Principles of Operation

The state-of-the-art electronic laminar flow sensor, consisting of a laminar flow element and pressure sensor, provides constant flow (volume) control, with +/- 2.5% regulation of flow rate (from 1 to 3 lpm) and automatic compensation for changes in battery voltage, temperature, altitude and sample load.

Approvals and Standards

Escort ELF Sampling Pumps are UL approved as intrinsically safe for use in hazardous locations - Class I, Groups A, B, C, D; Class II, Groups E, F, and G; and Class III, Division I locations. NIOSH certified for coal mine dust sampling (TC-74-030). MSHA certified as intrinsically safe for underground use (Approval No. 2G-3924-1).

Applications

Chemical
Construction
Mining
Oil and Gas
Sand Blasting
Sanding & Grinding
Spray Painting

Hazards

Nuisance Odor
Particulate and Dust
Toxic Atmosphere Non-IDLH

Product Information

The Escort ELF Sampling Pump can be used for personal and area sampling. An internal secondary standard calibrates the pump continuously and needs to be checked against a primary standard only once a month (or every 200 hours for coal mine dust sampling).

Product Information

Provides the required equipment to determine whether oil mist is present in the workplace by providing convenience and flexibility in oil-mist sampling. When sampling for oil mist, it is important to follow NIOSH Method 5026. After samples are collected with a sampling pump, they should be sent to a lab for analysis. The recommended lab testing method is infrared spectrophotometry.

Product Information

A primary calibration device, the DigiCal Calibrator provides instantaneous calibration for instruments like the MSA Escort LC Sampling Pump or the secondary flow standard inside the Escort ELF Sampling Pumps. Just press the plunger and the DigiCal Calibrator does the work. Its unique flow cell replaces conventional bubble tubes and makes calibration easier. Achieves extreme accuracy by utilizing a computerized flow meter that provides instantaneous flow readouts on a digital display. Accurate measurements are possible within + or - 0.5 percent at any altitude.
