Compatible with Traditional High Volume TSP, PM10 and PM2.5 Samplers!

  • Direct Reading Battery Operated
  • Volumetric and Standard Flow Rate
  • Ambient Temperature and Barometric Pressure

The new direct reading HiVolCal shares the advanced features of all BGI calibrators and completely eliminates the traditional drudgery of performing a manual calibration with its attendant error potential. Two HiVolCal models have been produced, which will cover all conceivable needs in the flow ranges from 1.4 to 54 Cubic feet/minute.

The HVC1 is a single orifice unit with a flow rate range of 7 to 54 Cfm

The HVC8 is a single orifice unit with a flow rate range of 0.2 to 1.53 M3/Min

The HVC9 is a single orifice unit with a flow rate range for 200 to 1530 LPM

The HVC2 is a dual range unit with the low range for 1.4 to 7 Cfm and the high range 7 to 54 Cfm.

Note Carefully that Units Calibrated in CFM and M3/min take Q standard at Sea level and 25o C.
Units Calibrated in LPM take Q standard at Sea level and 0o C.

During the 1980s BGI invented the direct reading calibrator for High Volume Air Samplers. It was known as the Auditor. The High volume air sampler is in use throughout the world in thousands of applications and newest High Volume devices such as the BGI 900 lpm Cascade Impactor are in use. For this reason and to keep an unbroken circle of BGI leadership in Calibration equipment for Environmental Air Samplers we bring you the HiVolCal.

Every BGI Air flow Calibrator produced is based upon a Primary Element .


Technical Specifications

Instrumentality: Built in Barometer and Ambient Temperature Probe
                               Housed in a Gill Screen.

Temperature Range: -30 to +55 C

Barometric pressure: 400 to 800 mm of Hg

Flow output: Simultaneously Displayed Q standard and Q actual.
                        Q  Standard to EPA Specifications of 25 C and 760 mm of
                         Hg.

Designed to go anyplace, our first principle, Orifice calibrators will operate for 20 continuous hours on 4 AA cells. Accurate to less than 0.75% of the flow rate reading, NIST traceable and designed, built and calibrated in our ISO 9001:2008 facility.
Because flow through the calibrator is uninterrupted, BGI Open free software provides a continuous output display of all functions.
