Improved detection and
measurement of hazardous airborne
fibre particles is provided by the
Harley Scientific Fibrecheck
supplied by SMH Products.

The Harley Scientific Fibrecheck
can be used to assess the ambient
air-borne levels of fibrous hazards,
in particular asbestos and other
man made mineral fibres, during
the strip-out and refurbishment of
buildings and industrial complexes.

The upgraded instrument draws
air in through a front inlet at a rate
of 2L per minute before it goes
through a cyclone filter to remove
excessively large particles, which are
caught in a dirt trap. The sampled
air is then passed into the optics
module where precision laser
technology is used to detect and
measure the size of any respiratory
airborne particles or fibres. The
instrument can be used for a range
of hazardous material removal and
disposal applications and is suitable
for use by demolition and emergency
services as the machine gives an
immediate readout of airborne fibres.

Onsite prints outs can be provided
showing the fibre level and particle
count for the length of the test period.
