Calibration / Validation The Official Calibration of The SAS (Surface Air System) Family of Air Samplers

The document discusses the importance of periodically validating the flow rate of air samplers to ensure accurate monitoring. It recommends performing validation every 6-12 months or if damage occurs. Validation is done using an impeller anemometer to measure the air flow and confirm performance.
