Mold measurement with SG5200

The measuring device SG5200 is ideal for mold measurement as well as for samples of dust fractions such as A-dust and E-dust, gases, fumes or fibers. There is a particular risk of mold during the warmer months of the year.


Mold growth in warm summer

Particularly in summer , mold areas occur more frequently in warm temperatures. When warm air is ventilated and cooled on cold walls, it condenses and forms a damp deposit. Mold then spreads particularly quickly under the very warm and humid conditions. This creates ideal growth conditions for the spread of mold.


GSA measuring devices SG5200 for mold measurement

If mold spores are suspected , you can measure them precisely with our GSA measuring devices SG5200 to detect them. This measuring device can be used both mobile and stationary.

Especially in areas where people live or work, prolonged contact with mold spores when breathing often leads to health problems or even damage to health. In addition to headaches and other discomfort, it can lead to respiratory diseases, respiratory infections and worsening asthma. General rules for correct ventilation are therefore particularly important in living and working areas.


Possible applications and features of the SG5200

The GSA measuring device SG5200 offers the possibility to measure the components of the mold infestation in the height of the breathing air carried by the person and thus mobile. The SG5200 is easy to use. With its powerful rotary vane pump, it generates almost a vacuum. It can be set for a high volume flow, which can also be adjusted electronically.

The GSA measuring devices SG5200 has special features:

  • a nominal flow rate of 50 – 4,000 ml/min (regulated, ± 5%)
  • the volume flow is adjustable approx. 20 – 5,000 ml/min
  • additionally a lithium-ion battery 2.4 Ah, 17.76 Wh, 7.4V
  • The battery is easy to replace
  • The utilization of the device is displayed
  • Electronic fine adjustment is possible
  • Sampling time is programmable
  • LCD display, 2 x 8 lines
  • Remaining battery charge is displayed
  • Collection time is recordable
  • Device load is displayed via the motor load display
  • Weight: approx. 535g


The standard operating range for the GSA measuring device SG5200 is temperatures from 0°C to 40°C. In the extended range, measurements can be taken from -5°C to 50°C for a maximum of two hours.


We will be happy to advise you on the selection of suitable GSA measuring devices for the measurement of harmful substances and hazardous substances. We have many years of experience in dealing with a wide range of pollutants and developing suitable measuring devices.
