Apex Isokinetic Sampling Systems
Apex Instruments Inc. offers a wide array of equipment and supplies for sampling stationary source emissions for pollutants in accordance with US EPA Reference Methods. Most of the methods are generally classified as either Isokinetic or Gaseous Sampling Methods.
This section includes Apex Instrument Isokinetic equipment and accessories. This type of sampling requires the sample to be drawn from the gas stream at the same rate it is moving through the stack or duct.

Apex Isokinetic Source Sampler systems let the operator monitor gas velocities, temperatures, pressures and sample flow rates for maintaining isokinetic sampling conditions. The Source Sampler system is easily adapted to test for a wide range of pollutants from stationary sources, such as dust including particle size distributions, metals, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dioxins/ furans, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and an ever increasing group of pollutants tested for with adaptations of this basic isokinetic test method.
Our Isokinetic equipment is designed to be modular, where you choose your meter console, pump and components of choice to meet your particular needs.
The Apex Method 5 Sampler System provides a reliable and versatile foundation for performing most isokinetic testing methods.
