Monitoring sub-micron aerosols and particulates
Motor manufacturers or indeed anyone interested in studying or monitoring sub-micron aerosols and particulates will appreciate the benefits of sequential mobility particle sizer and counter.
Power, ambient air and pure water supply hydrogen
A convenient way of supplying high purity hydrogen and zero air for a wide range of monitoring applications requires only power, ambient air, a supply of pure water and fewer cylinders.
Challenging measurements like that of benzene in an atmosphere already contaminated with gasoline are made routine by the instrument's excellent selectivity - even similar compounds like xylene, ethylbenzene and toluene give no measurable interference, and benzene is detectable to below 0.1ppm.
At the other end of the scale, a convenient "Sniff" mode provides easy real-time surveying of concentration "hot spots" without the need for blind sampling.
Other applications include ethylene oxide, vinyl chloride, 1,3-butadiene and acrylonitrile.
The instrument has a built-in sampling pump and does not require a carrier gas supply or use replaceable absorption tubes - the saving on consumables alone will pay for the instrument in a year of normal use.
A full 8-hour day's work can be stored in the VaporLabT and subsequently downloaded via wireless transfer to PC or Palm Pilot, so that no separate data logging is normally required.
Results are fully date/time stamped for easy auditing.
The VaporLabT is intrinsically safe to Atex standards and has a rugged impact-resistant case, so is ideal for use in the real world of refineries or chemical plants.
A rechargeable battery pack give 6 hours continuous operation.
UK distributors for VaporLabT are Quantitech of Milton Keynes.
