VOC gas leaks detected faster than ever
Ion Science Limited have launched the Phocheck 5000EX hand-held ionisation instrument, which can find and monitor leaks of VOC gases even down to 10 ppb levels
Cambridge based, ISO9002 accredited, Ion Science Limited have launched yet another new product with the introduction of the Phocheck 5000EX hand-held ionisation instrument which can find and monitor leaks of VOC gases such as Acetone, Nonane, Octane, Pentane, Benzene, Formaldehyde, Isobutane, MEK, MPK, Styrene and Toluene, even down to 10 ppb levels for standard calibration gas (Bobutylene) Much more than a simple leak detector, this versatile unit has major environmental benefits given its dual ability to find leaks and monitor staff exposures in the event of a leak occuring

Gas leak detector provides sensitivity upgrade
The GasCheck G is available in G1, G2 and G3 versions, allowing users to add extra features as the need arises, without returning the system to the factory.
The Phocheck 5000 will monitor leaks of all the above gases which are found in the chemical, petrochemical, refinery, storage, semi-conductor and process industries plus many more.
Several hundred gases are preprogrammed into the instruments software on despatch to provide direct display in ppm or mg/m3.
Setting the unit for mixtures of several gases is also easy.
As is expected, the unit is entirely safe for use in harzardous (Zone 0) areas and is certified to BASEEFA recognised standards.
For leak detection, the user settable alarms trigger audio/visual indications.
The unit boasts industry standard alarms for STEL's (Short Term Exposure Levels) or TWA (Time Weighted Average).
The unit has an operating time of approximately 16 hours on its 4 x AA batteries power source.
Accessories include a selection of PID lamps, probes, filters, calibration and cleaning kits as well as PC software portfolio and a two-way Infra Red link for data download and user customisation.
