Nozzle Unions
5/8" nozzle unions are available in Stainless Steel (PRN-10U), Teflon-coated Stainless Steel
(PRN-10UTC for union body only), Glass-filled Teflon (PRN-TU-B for union, nuts, and
single ferrules) and Inconel (PRN-IUB for Inconel union body only). Stainless steel unions
are supplied with front and rear stainless steel ferrules. Teflon and Teflon-coated unions are
available with a single Teflon ferrule. Inconel unions are available with Monel front and rear
ferrules or single graphite ferrules. Other useful sealing arrangements include an inverted
stainless steel rear ferrule with a Viton O-ring or a single graphite ferrule for use with Pyrex
or Quartz nozzles. These arrangements can also be used to avoid the permanent locking of
stainless steel front and rear ferrules.

The ESC Single and Dual VOST (Volatile Organic Sampling Train) Samplers are used in conjunction with
emissions (constant sampling rate procedure) the UNI-VOS-110 Low Flow Control Console to perform SW-846 Methods 0030 and 0031. Volatile
organic compounds in the sample stream are passed through a Pyrex coil condenser followed by cartridges
packed with Tenax, Tenax/charcoal or Anasorb adsorbent material.
The cartridges are thermally desorbed prior to analysis of the
