For asbestos measurements, sampling is carried out with GSA measuring devices

Material sampling for asbestos measurement – Fibre measurements of asbestos fibers

For a better estimate of the costs of an asbestos measurement, here is an example calculation for a detached house with a floor area of approx. 100m², roof construction and covering are homogeneous, 20km journey*

Use of the measurement technician for the asbestos measurement: 2 x 0.5 h drive + 1 h sampling and documentation on site = 2 h * 65 € = 130 €
Analysis: 2x material sample according to VDI 3866 Sheet 5 “Determination of asbestos in technical products” = 2 * 51.50 € = 103 €
Travel costs: 2 * 20 = 40 km * 0,60 € = 24€
Report: 1x lump sum 150 €
- Total = 407€

Asbestos measurement via GSA measuring devices GSA measuring device SG12 – Fibre measurements of asbestos fibers

Fibre measurements of asbestos fibres are used to identify dangerous fibers that are harmful to health in order to prevent dangerous health effects. For example, asbestos fibres can cause lung cancer. The GSA Messgerätebau has a selection of measuring devices such as the measuring device SG12 to detect and measure asbestos fiber occurrences.
