WITH A 50+ YEAR HISTORY
IN SAMPLE PUMP INNOVATION
SKC IS PROUD TO PRESENT
SAMPLE PUMPS
FOR A NEW GENERATION
INTRODUCTION
Since the early days of the health and
safety profession, sample pumps have
technically been known as AIR MOVERS.
SKC is proud to present this update on
sample pump technology for those who
want to know…
WHAT’S MOVING AND
SHAKING WITH
SAMPLE PUMPS
WHAT’S MOVING AND SHAKING…
ELECTRONIC FLOW CONTROL
SKC Isothermal Flow Sensor
A patented flow control sensor from SKC
measures the pressure drop across a
tube, compares it to a calibration stored in
the pump memory and constantly adjusts
the pump motor to maintain the required
flow to within +/- 5%.
THE ADVANTAGES
SKC FLOW SENSOR
1.
2.
3.
Measures the flow rate directly and
maintains the flow through a closedloop system
Achieves the set flow immediately
without a lot of fluctuation and a long
settling time
Adjusts for variations in temperature
and atmospheric pressure
WHAT’S MOVING AND SHAKING…
PUMP FLOW CALIBRATION
SKC pumps display the
flow rate measured by the
internal flow sensor.
 The displayed flow rate
on the pump can be
verified by an external
calibrator and adjusted to
match the calibrator.

PUMP FLOW CALIBRATION
SKC CalChek®
This SKC patented feature allows a
CalChek capable SKC pump and
Defender calibrator to communicate
directly.
 When connected, the pump adjusts the
flow until the displayed values of both
agree.

PUMP BATTERIES
Advancements in
Battery Technology

Nickel-metal hydride
 Lithium-ion
 Small in size
 High in power
 No memory effect
WHAT’S MOVING AND SHAKING…
PUMP BATTERIES
Longer Run Times
By utilizing new battery technology and
optimizing the pump pneumatics for
reduced power requirements, extended
run times can be achieved for 10 to 12
hour work shifts or 24+ hour sampling in
fixed locations.
WHAT’S MOVING AND SHAKING…
PUMP ERGONOMICS
Low Noise

The noise levels of
sample pumps have
been reduced so
that they can be
used to sample in
offices and homes
during sleeping
hours.
WHAT’S MOVING AND SHAKING…
PUMP ERGONOMICS
Ruggedness

Sampling pumps are
built to withstand the
rigors of everyday
life in a home or
workplace including
impact resistance
and water
resistance.
WHAT’S MOVING AND SHAKING…
PUMP ERGONOMICS
Small Footprint

Even higher flow
pumps are now of a
reasonable size and
weight to be worn by a
person for a 24-hour
period including
children and the
elderly.
