PQ100 – U.S. EPA FRM
Model PQ167R Portable Ambient Particulate Sampler
Provides EPA Reference Method Data for PM10. Can be configured for TSP and PM2.5
The BGI PQ100-FRM Sampler incorporates BGI’s
pioneering technology to meet the requirements for
ambient particulate sampling dictated by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency. This includes the
design of novel PM10, PM2.5 and PM1 Inlets,
Volumetric sample flow rate control, data logging and
software for report and data processing. The sampler
is based upon the BGI PQ family of ambient particulate
samplers and has demonstrated its use over the past
ten years in a multitude of domestic and international
sampling scenarios. Most recently the introduction of
the BGI miniPM Inlet, the PQ167R can be operated at
sampling sites as high as 15,000 feet (4572meters)
elevation.
The PQ100 – FRM Sampler meets and exceeds the US
PQ 100 Ambient PM10 Sampler
With Solar Panel EPA requirements for manual ambient particulate
sampling. BGI cooperated with the EPA in 1996 to
provide design and parts of the PQ100 that later
became design and performance specifications dictated
by the EPA in 40CFRPart 53 in 1997 for PM2.5 FRM
sampling. BGI was pleased to provide the following:
• Ambient Temperature and Filter Temperature
Testing
• PM10 Inlet Design
• Prototyped the EPA PM2.5 WINS Impactor
EPA Designated Inlet and
miniPM High Altitude Inlet
