Portable Sampling
Can we help?
RM&C Measurement Systems can supply a range of Portable Air Samplers (PAS), with either Open Face Filter Paper Holder for area/space monitoring or Inline Filter Paper Holder for duct sampling in conjunction with an Isokinetic Sample Probe.
For decommissioning activities, where a simple PAS will not suffice, Measurement Systems have supplied Portable Decommissioning Systems, typically comprising a duct section, a trolley mounted filter holder/pump/flow meter, and a range of isokinetic sample nozzles to cater for a wide range of extract flow rates.

Alpha & Beta Particulate Sampling
If you require Alpha and/or Beta Particulate Sampling Systems, then you need look no further than RM&C Measurement Systems. We have been supporting the UK nuclear industry by supplying regulatory sampling and monitoring systems, related equipment and services to many leading licensed sites.
We are able to supply bespoke solutions at ‘of the shelf prices’. Whether it is a simple wall mount panel or a full floor standing suite of cubicles, Measurement System will engineer the ideal system to meet your needs.
The principle of particulate sampling is simple, extract a known representative sample from a discharge stack or duct onto a collection medium for retrospective laboratory analysis. By measuring the discharge flow you can then calculate the sampling ratio and determine the discharge level.
It is this simplicity that leads many to underestimate the nuances of sampling, forgetting the basic principles. The most important factors in any particulate sampling system are; representative sampling and sampling efficiency.
Often prior to contracts being let, Measurement Systems engage with the client and/or end user to provide consultancy, surveying, extract system performance studies; to ensure that the most appropriate equipment is specified.
Isokinetic Sample Probes
The most important functions of a regulatory sampling system is, representative sampling and sampling efficiency. The Isokinetic Sample Probe (inc. nozzle) is a key element of achieving this, as is the interconnecting sample pipe-work through to the collection point (filter).
The RM&C Measurement Systems design of Particulate Sample Probe gives the best possible flow path for the sampled particulates, offering a smooth, transition and crevice free path through to the collection point. Fully welded using stainless steel components, with a number of mounting/connection options, these probes are the highest quality available and will outperform many lower cost alternatives.
In addition to designing and manufacturing a full range of Isokinetic and Gaseous Sample Probes, we are able to offer Best Practicable Means (BPM) advice to our clients at the design stage, regarding the optimum probe location.
One factor which determines the positioning of the sample probe is the velocity profile. To ensure the positioning of the probes and the sampling pipe-work meets BPM requirements, we often conduct pre-design flow profiling and characterisation studies. Our engineers work closely with AEA Technology, who are the UK’s leading independent authority on aerosol transport modeling, testing and characterisation studies to ensure the:
The sample probe can be used in conjunction with one of our fixed range of Continuous Air Monitors, or with a Static Air Sampler (SAS).
Sampling & Monitoring Systems
For almost two decades our core business has been supplying and supporting Environmental Air Sampling and Monitoring Systems to the nuclear industry. With fully security cleared staff (up to DV) and radiological classified staff, we have engineered solutions that have been adopted as the standard by several nuclear licensees.
At both AWE and Dounreay, where unparalleled performance and reliability are pre-requisites, RM&C Measurement Systems designed solutions have been adopted as the site standard.
Measurement Systems provide support to their customers in meeting their site license conditions and environmental obligations by supplying not only sampling systems, but also a number of related services. These include; project management, process and equipment surveys, discharge flow-rate measurements, system commissioning, instrument calibration, characterisation/verification studies and user training.
Selected by DSRL as the preferred supplier of sampling systems during an evaluation of their existing arrangements, over thirty-five sampling systems have now been successfully accepted by the regulating body for statutory use.
As a supplier of sampling systems, instrumentation and services to AWE for over almost two decades, Measurement Systems recognise that high standards of integrity; professionalism, co-operation, courtesy, competence and efficiency are the platform for excellent client relationships.
Our policy is to work closely with our clients and our mission statement is simple, "for RM&C Measurement Systems to establish itself as the supplier of choice for Sampling Systems, related equipment and services to the UK nuclear industry".
Over and above the sampling or monitoring system, we can provide alarm panels and integration solutions that allow interfacing with existing DCS or SCADA systems.
We always look for the best technical and commercial solution and recently saved EDF Energy around £1m by upgrading rather than replacing their current sampling systems. Click here to view news item
Whatever you’re sampling or monitoring needs, RM&C Measurement Systems can provide a solution.
UKAS and Traceable Calibration
Roxspur Measurement & Control Ltd is an ISO 9001:2008 company, we offer UKAS and traceable calibration under BS/EN ISO17025 accredited procedures. Our certificate generation systems are purposely geared to meet the strict and specific requirement of the Aerospace industry.
Calibration
Based at our factory in Sheffield our accredited laboratories are available to provide either on-site or in-house calibration to either UKAS or national standards. We cover Temperature (up to 2,200ºC), Pressure (up to 1,200 bar), Flow (up to 2,500 L/min) and Electrical parameters and provide certification using the latest technology.
