Real time asbestos detection

Supplied by manufacturer of electronic asbestos counters, SMH Products, the advanced Harley Scientific Fibrecheck provides improved detection and measurement of hazardous airborne fibre particles. It can be used to quickly and accurately assess the ambient air-borne levels of fibrous hazards, in particular asbestos and other man made mineral fibres, during the strip-out and refurbishment of buildings and industrial complexes.

This enables real time measurement of the airborne asbestos fibres, rather than sending an air sample away for testing, which can take up to three days before the results are known.

The instrument draws air in at two litres per minute and a cyclone filter removes excessively large particles. Sampled air is then passed into the optics module where precision laser technology is used to detect and measure the size of any respiratory airborne particles or fibres.
