Measuring wood dust – minimizing health risks

3. May 202517. July 2019 by s.abels

Wood dust measurement for risk assessment at the workplace

Wood dust is classified as E-dust and poses a great risk of the particles settling in the lungs or affecting other parts of the body. For wood dust measurement and particle measurement of the dust fraction of E-dust, we recommend our measuring device SG10-2A for stationary measurement or the SG5100ex and SG5200 devices for personal measurement.

With regard to a wood dust explosion, we recommend our SG5100ex measuring device, as it has been specially developed for potentially explosive atmospheres.

Measuring diesel engine emissions with PM4-2 measuring device

Measuring diesel engine emissions with PM4-2 measuring device

Diesel engine emissions (DEE) can be determined with our PM4-2 measuring device. To measure diesel engine emissions, it generates a constant air volume flow. Furthermore, fluctuations in the air during sampling of diesel engine emissions can be compensated for by pressure and temperature compensation. This means that precise measurements of diesel engine emissions can be carried out despite fluctuating weather conditions and temperatures.

Measuring of harmful substances in welding fumes

Measuring of harmful substances in welding fumes with measuring device SG5200 and SG5100ex

Our SG5200 and SG5100ex sampling devices are recommended for measuring harmful substances when working with welding fumes. These are personal measuring devices that can detect dusts, gases and fumes. Simultaneous measurement of E-dust and A-dust in welding fumes requires the PGP EA sampling system in accordance with IFA. These are sampling heads specially developed for this measurement, which enable a meaningful measurement.

Measuring quartz dust – Occupational safety

Measuring quartz dust with GSA PM4-2 and SG10-2 measuring devices

If quartz dust is present at the workplace, measures such as measuring quartz dust are a sensible occupational health and safety measure.

We offer two systems for this purpose: Firstly, the measuring device PM4-2 with A-dust head for stationary measurement and the measuring devices SG10-2 with fine dust sampling system 10 (according to IFA) for personal measurement at the workplace.

Measure VOC exposure – recognize hazards

Measure VOC exposure with SG350ex, SG5100ex or SG5200 measuring devices

If health problems occur after a renovation, such as headaches, dizziness or similar, it is reasonable to suspect that this could be due to VOC exposure.

Measuring cooling lubricants

Measure hazardous cooling lubricants with SG5200 and SG100ex measuring devices

Our SG5200 or SG5100ex samplers can be used to check for possible hazards caused by lubricants. These measuring devices for measuring cooling lubricants are coupled with the GGP sampling system and can, for example, detect oil aerosols and measure cooling lubricants.
If you have any questions about measuring hazardous cooling lubricants or the measuring devices, our staff will be happy to help.

What are cooling lubricants?

Definition

Cooling lubricant is a collective term for mixtures of substances that are used in metalworking for cooling and lubrication. It is often a multi-component mixture, as the basic substances – water and oil – alone do not have the desired effect. There are two main effects:

Cooling: Lowering the temperature caused by friction
Lubrication: Reduction of friction between tool and workpiece

Asbestos measurement with SG12

Perform precise fibre measurements for asbestos fibers with measuring device SG12

If asbestos-containing substances are suspected, an asbestos measurement should be carried out. With our measuring device SG12 fiber measurements for asbestos fibers, our measurement technicians check whether asbestos is present.

If materials containing asbestos were found during the asbestos measurement, professional removal is absolutely advisable. There are some important points to bear in mind during removal and disposal.

SG10-2A and PM4-2 particulate matter meters measure particulate matter pollution

SG10-2A and PM4-2 particulate matter meter – possible uses

If you want to measure fine dust pollution, our SG10-2A and PM4-2 fine dust measuring devices are the best choice.

The SG10-2A particulate matter monitor can be used for both stationary and portable applications. In addition, the SG10-2A and PM4-2 are capable of measuring larger sample volumes. To make a suitable selection, please contact us at any time.

Sampling device SG10-2A – new development of the GSA measuring devices

Asbestos measurement – important for detecting potential health hazards

If the asbestos measurement and analysis by the GSA has shown that it is indeed asbestos, all work and measures should be carried out by specialist companies. The employees are trained in the field of fibre measurements of asbestos fibers and know the necessary safety measures and disposal regulations (you can find more on this topic in our article on “Asbestos measurement and analysis of asbestos”.
