Comparison of pollutants measuring devices
We offer a wide range of pollutants measuring devices for measuring of harmful substances. We have put together an infographic to help you find the right pollutant measuring device for your requirements.
In the following graphic, our measuring devices are listed side by side and structured according to various features.
The first relevant point is the type of application, whether it is a stationary measurement or a measurement carried by a person.
Explosion protection is also an important criterion. These initial decision points are followed by a list of the various pollutants that can be measured and whether the respective pollutant measuring devices are designed for this. The graphic markings (green/red) indicate suitability:
Example: measuring device SG5100ex and
measuring device SG5200 in comparison
To further illustrate the systematics of this infographic, here is a demonstration of two of our measuring devices in direct comparison.
First of all, it should be noted that both stationary and person-based measurement would be possible. This offers a high degree of flexibility. A volume of 3.5 l/min is to be measured. The pollutants are assumed to be the dust fraction E-dust.
Up to this point, it is clear that both the measuring device SG5100ex and the SG5200 measuring devices would be suitable. The difference here is the explosion protection. Only the SG5100ex offers this and should be selected for this purpose. All of our devices with explosion protection are certified by the relevant testing body and are designated for this use.
The diagram also provides information on the respective sampling accessories required for the measurement. These include the various sampling heads that are suitable for the pollutant to be measured.
In our example above, a GSP35 (total dust/E-dust) sampling head is required, which is designed for a volume flow of 3.5 l/min for particle measurement. If the dust fraction A-dust is to be measured instead, the sampling head FSP2 (fine dust/A-dust) should be selected for this particle measurement.
Further information on dusts can be found in our article Measuring fine dust pollution with portable measuring device SG10-2.
Of course, there are also other accessories, such as carrying straps and transport cases for each measuring device.
