Description
PVC Cassette for Welding
Use 25 mm preloaded PVC filter part number 225-8214 or 225-8215 for sampling welder exposure to hexavalent chromium as specified in OSHA Method ID-215 (V. 2). The smaller cassette fits more easily under a welder’s helmet. For ultimate comfort, use the Face Level Sampling Headset or the Helmet Adaptor (part number 225-600).
