Handy Sampler
Product Details:
The increasing general awareness of atmospheric air pollution and serious impacts of pollutants and hazards to the health of industrial workers Greater emphasis and stress on accurate, reliable and frequent monitoring of work space pollution is increasing day by day. The data so generated are needed for corrective measures to safe guard the workers as per Factory Act 1948 and amendment in 1986-87.
IAS 019 Handy Sampler uses light weight battery operated pump to draw air through 25mm dia Glass micro fiber filter and through chemical (suitable absorption solution) contained in two midget impinger fitted in series.
Thus besides particulates any two gaseous pollutants can be monitored simultaneously.
IAS 019 sampler uses wet chemicals method to sample gaseous toxicants the same hardware can be used to sample a variety of pollutants including Oxides of Sulphur and Nitrogen, Halogens, Ammonia, Sulphides, Ozone etc.
The Particulate sampling head provided with the system would be useful for monitoring particulates like silica cement dust metal fumes, asbestos fiber etc. In work area of industries, foundries, mines and also in indoor air quality monitoring etc. To ensure complete absorption and to reduce loss of absorbing solutions by evaporation the impinger tubes of IAS 019 sampler are kept in ice-tray where chilled water or crushed ice can be kept for cooling of impinger solution while sampling.
Rechargeable Li-ion batteries have been used with sufficient storage to operate the system for 8 hours making it easier to compare workers dose to the TLV levels specified for specific pollutants.
A separate charger is provided with IAS 019 to recharge the batteries over nightly. A digital timer has been incorporated in the IAS 019 to facilitate unattended operation.
