Personal air sampling pumps

Reinforcing the company’s commitment to further growth in the UK, this expanded product range will include the high performance GilAir Plus, specially designed for simultaneous high and low flow personal measurement of particulates, vapours, gases and metal fumes.

The compact and lightweight unit offers an air sampling range from 1ml/min to 5000ml/min - without the need for any external adapters. Designed for worker comfort, it operates with all common media, offers multi-language capability and has an outlet port for bag sampling. 

With patent pending QuadModeSM air sampling technology, the GilAir Plus can perform both high-flow constant pressure and flow (450-5000cc/min) and low-flow constant pressure and flow (20-499cc/min) with a single pump. Other key features include selectable automatic fault recovery, standard temperature and pressure correction and a real-time clock with data-logging.

Svantek’s MD, John Shelton, comments: "The GilAir Plus’ innovative dual air sampling feature reduces sampling time and costs, plus increases worker comfort. Monitoring exposure to airborne particulates, gases and vapours often requires industrial hygiene and occupational health & safety professionals to take multiple air samples from the environment of one worker. This may require the employee to wear multiple air sampling pumps or returning to sample on another day. This can be expensive, inconvenient and uncomfortable."

He continues: "The Gilian dual port high / low flow manifold enables connection of two different sampling media so eliminating the need for multiple sampling pumps. Two manifold adjustments enable the setting of separate flow rates for each media connection. A single tube connects the Gilian manifold to the GilAir Plus providing an efficient method for obtaining two samples from a worker during a single shift.”

Svantek’s GilAir Plus has intuitive menu, keypad interface and large back-kit display for quick and simple pump setting adjustment. Once the instrument is set up, the keypad can be locked to prevent tampering. A convenient SmartCalSM feature provides automatic pump calibration.

When sampling at altitudes of up to 8000ft above or below sea level, GilAir Plus has the capability of automatically correcting the flow rate for altitude changes to maintain constant flow accuracy of ±5% over this barometric pressure range. This permits GilAir Plus calibration at ground level and sampling at high elevations or deep mines without loss of flow accuracy or the need to calculate and use manual correction factors.
