XC-523 Isokinetic Sampling Console

Compact & Reliable Imperial Unit Source Sampler

Overview

The Apex Instruments XC-523 Console is a full-featured, lightweight, and reliable isokinetic source sampler. Designed for easy field setup, it includes non-reversible external pump connections and an industry-standard 5-pin electrical connector.

Operators can monitor gas velocities, temperatures, pressures, and sample flow rates to maintain accurate isokinetic sampling conditions.

📌 The XC-523 model displays imperial units.
📌 For metric units, see our XC-572 model.
