Gilian Air Sampling Pumps
If they were any tougher they would beat
you up and take your lunch money.
Introduction to Gilian
• Gilian air sampling pumps are
manufactured by Sensidyne
in Clearwater, Florida.
• Product line includes personal
and area air sampling pumps
for the evaluation of worker
exposure to airborne hazards
during the work shift.
Air Sampling Introduction
• Air sampling pumps draw air
through collection media for the
evaluation of worker exposure
to a targeted substance during
the work shift.
• Samples are collected using a
filter cassette or sorbent tube
then later analyzed in a lab.

High Flow vs. Low Flow
High Flow
Low Flow
• Personal Pump High Flow
• Flow rates from 1 to 4 LPM
• Examples:
•
•
– Hydrocarbon Solvents
(Benzene)
– Chlorinated Solvents
(Methylene Chloride)
– Alcohols
– Lead
– Asbestos
– Dust
• Accessories
– Filters
– Cyclones
– Impingers
Flow Rates from 20 to
300cc/min
Examples:

Sorbent Tubes
Charcoal Tubes
Constant Flow Control
• Works like the cruise control on a car
• Senses when the flow rate is trying to drop and speeds
up the pump
• Maintains the flow rate at ± 5% of set flow
Multiflow Low Flow Pumps
• Constant pressure control allows two to four
simultaneous samples using special manifolds
• A constant low pressure level is maintained in the
connection tubing
• Flow rate is controlled with a needle valve on each tube
holder

• Construction companies for asbestos & lead abatement
(BDX-II) and silica dust (Gilian 5000 with cyclone)
• Chemical plants, refineries, pharmaceutical plants, steel
mills, utilities and many manufacturing plants (Gilian
5000)
• Dust sampling in foundries, cement plants, smelters, strip
mines (Gilian 3500)
Petroleum Refineries
Top Sampling Issues:
• Benzene or BTEX (NIOSH Method 1501)
• Methyl tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE)
(NIOSH Method 1615)
• Nickel Carbonyl (NIOSH Method 6007)
• Tetraethyl Lead (NIOSH Method 2533)
• Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbon Compounds (NIOSH
Method 5506)
Power Plants
Top Sampling Issues:
• Nuisance Dust (NIOSH Methods 0500 (Total dust) and
0600 (Respirable dust with cyclone)
• Radioactive Dust (NRC Method uses Aircon at 28.32
LPM (1CFM) and 47mm PVC or glass fiber filter.)
Welding Fume
Top Sampling Issues:
• (Note that all of these metals are sampled the same way using a
0.8 micron mixed cellulose filter at typically 1 to 4 LPM)
• Welding & Brazing Fume (NIOSH Method 7200) detects the
following metals from one air sample. Iron, nickel, chromium, copper,
cadmium, manganese, zinc and silver. Can be applied to soft steel or
stainless steel welding.
• Chromium (NIOSH Method 7024 or 7300) Source: Welding of
stainless steel.
• Cadmium (NIOSH Method 7038 or 7300) Source: Welding of plated
metals & certain alloys.
• Manganese (NIOSH Method 7300)
Source: Welding of most steels.
• Nickel (NIOSH Method 7300)
Source: Welding of stainless steel.
