General Safety Precautions
Product Selection, Installation, and Use
Improper selection, installation, or use can cause personal injury or property damage. It is solely
the responsibility of users, through their own analysis and testing, to select products suitable
for their speci c application requirements, ensure they are properly maintained, and limit their
use to their intended purpose.
Follow proper local, state, and federal regulations for proper installation and operational
requirements.
Always use caution and common sense when working with any chemical. Read the product
label and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) carefully and follow the instructions exactly.
Potential Equipment Hazards
Hot surfaces! This equipment may have very hot surfaces. If an operator contacts a hot surface,
injury may occur. Use protective clothing to prevent injury. If other equipment comes in contact
with a hot surface, damage to the equipment may occur. Ensure the area around this equipment
is kept clear to prevent this damage from occurring.
High pressures! This equipment may contain uids at very high pressures. Prior to installing,
removing, or maintaining this equipment, ensure that the equipment is isolated from all
connecting piping, the equipment is depressurized, the contents have been drained, and the
equipment is cool.

Sentry CPS Sampler 5
General Description
The Sentry® CPS Sampler is a stand-alone unit for collecting and eventual quantifying of
particulate and ionic matter (corrosion products) circulating in the secondary piping of
nuclear power plants and condensate/feedwater systems of fossil-fueled plants. The CPS
sampler collects sample material on lters. The lters are removed for laboratory analysis.
Accurate ow totalizing assures precise species concentration determination. The CPS
sampler is available in several single line congurations. Verify which model you have
when referring to this manual. Some of the illustrations may or may not include options,
which you have.

The CPS sampler can automatically maintain a sample ow rate up to 330 cc/min in
the branch to the sample lter. Typically, greater ow rates are required to maintain
incoming sample line velocities of 5-6feet per second as recommended by EPRI. This ow
requirement is especially important, given the sole purpose of CPS sampling is to measure
sample constituents that can easily plate out on the sample tubing if the sample velocities
are below 5-6ft/s. The optional bypass loop can provide a path for 1500cc/min of sample
ow in addition to the ow to the sample lter branch.
The constant ow feature is accomplished by using a pressure regulator downstream of
the collection lter. The regulator maintains the inlet of the ow control valve at constant
pressure. Since the control valve outlet pressure is constant, CPS sampler ow is constant.
A sample throughput totalizer that is resettable, with ± 3% full-scale accuracy, measures
the total volume of liquid sample passing through the lter holder.

Sentry CPS Sampler 7
Standard Filter Holder
The Sentry Standard Filter Holder (refer to Figure 3) was developed to allow the operators
of Corrosion Product Samplers to install multiple lter papers in their samplers without
leakage and without the need for tools to open and close the housing. It is designed
such that varying stack heights of lter papers do not interfere with the housing’s sealing
capabilities. All wetted metal surfaces are of T316SS construction. The lter holder accepts
47mm diameter membrane lters. Replacement lters can be ordered through Sentry
Equipment.

HP High Pressure Filter Holder
The HP High Pressure Filter Holder (refer to Figure 4) was developed for high-pressure
applications. A 5/16inch hex Allen wrench is required to allow the operators of Corrosion
Products sampler to open and close the housing for lter replacement. Stacking more
than three lter papers is not recommended or leakage will occur. All wetted metal
surfaces are of Stainless Steel construction. The lter holder accepts 47mm diameter
membrane lters. Replacement lters can be ordered through Sentry Equipment.
