Measure asbestos fibers with measuring device SG12 to determine health hazards

The measuring device SG12, specially developed for asbestos measurement, can be used to precisely measure even very low concentrations of asbestos fibers. It is suitable for sampling inorganic fibrous particles in accordance with VDI 3492 and ISO 14966 as well as asbestos or AMF. It can also be used to measure the various dust fractions such as A-dust or E-dust.

An analysis of asbestos is then carried out to determine the concentration of this hazardous material in the building.

If it is suspected that material containing asbestos was used in the construction of buildings, a measurement is advisable.

The GSA Messgerätebau GmbH manufactures its own suitable measuring devices for measuring hazardous substances. In addition, every asbestos hazard situation is unique. For this reason, we are happy to develop a suitable measurement strategy for sampling asbestos for you.

Pollutant measuring devices to precisely measure pollutants in the home or at the workplace

Once you have decided which (harmful) substances are to be measured, the next step is to select suitable pollutant measuring devices. In order to find a suitable measuring device, further criteria must be taken into account.

This includes the location of the pollutant measuring devices (stationary or portable), the required explosion protection and the desired nominal volume flow.

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. 100 m², roof construction and covering are homogeneous, 20 km 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€
