Want to determine the Minimum Sample Volume needed to ensure you collect enough of a sample volume so that the results are capable of being less than the Exposure Limit? Want to know how long you need to sample at a given flow rate?
If so, use OHShub.com’s Minimum Sample Volume and Required Sampling Time calculator and take the guess-work out of the equation.
Input the:
- Laboratory Limit of Quantitation (LOQ)
- Exposure Limit
- Desired Fraction of the Exposure Limit (essentially a safety factor for sampling)
- Sampling Rate
And the results will give you the Minimum Sample Volume and Required Sampling Time.
Note: Ensure that you have the right units and all of the units are consistent. Units such as parts per million (ppm) for Exposure Limits may need to be converted to mg/m3.

What is the name of the file to run once unzipped?
Hi Henry,
There should be no need to unzip the file, as it is not zipped. It is simply an Excel file named MSV-RST.xlsx (its a 2007 Excel file, but will convert to 2003 Excel with no problem).
Let us know if you are still having issues.

I can not download the file
Just click the text at the bottom of the post that says “Calculator: MSV & RST” and you will download the file.
clikc already but I can not download. Please where do I find this file?
Try this link. This is the same link as clicking what is in the post itself.
