Accurate Measurement of Condensable Particulate Matter (CPM)
Overview
The Apex Instruments Method 202 Sampling System is an isokinetic sampling method used to measure Condensable Particulate Matter (CPM) from stationary source emissions.
This method is used in conjunction with Method 5, Method 17, or Method 201A, requiring isokinetic sampling conditions to ensure accurate CPM collection. After filterable PM is collected on a filter (as specified by the selected method), the CPM is captured in dry impingers for analysis.
Key Features & Specifications
- Vertical Compact Condenser for easy transport
- Integrated port for measuring filter exit temperature
- Multiple condenser options available:
- Vertical coiled condenser – Ideal for high-moisture sources (above 15%)
- Vertical Allihn condenser – Recommended for low-moisture sources
- Cold-weather sampling accessories for enhanced precision and ease of use
The Method 202 Sampling System ensures compliance with regulatory standards while providing reliable CPM measurement.
