Highly Sensitive
The Sleuth FID can detect hydrocarbons between 0.1 ppm and 10,000 ppm (up to 100,000 ppm with optional Range Extender). It does not respond to, not is it poisoned by carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and most other industrial and environmental gases, giving you confidence in your results.
Stable at Low Levels
Consistently accurate and stable, even at low levels, ensuring reliable performance.
Easy to Use
Probably the easiest FID to use. Particular care has been taken to make the analog scales easy to read and to simplify the calibration. In fact you will probably only need to calibrate the detector once a year (once a week is not unusual with other detectors).
Versatile
You can use the Sleuth FID for detecting and locating leaks in gas distribution on systems and for monitoring low levels of biogenerated gases, for example from landfill sites. A wide range of probes and sampling systems help you to test for gases under different conditions.
Data Collection Storage and Analysis
The data handling package is not just a data logger but a complete system incorporating logging on demand, traditional data logging and custom program design with communication links to PCs. When used with the Sleuth FID the data logger has precise measurements and can be recorded at known coordinates on sweep surveys or it can remotely gather data at pre programmed intervals. With both legislative and public pressure on organizations to assess and monitor environmental changes, it allows the user to records, store, process and analyse data effectively.
Applications
- Monitoring fugitive emissions from stacks and vents under EPA guidelines
- Landfill gas monitoring
- Ambient air quality recording
- Pollution investigation
- Data acquisition for site surveys permitting the charting of gas concentration contours and variations with time
- Short term investigation of particular incidents in environmental and industrial studies
- Recording historical data for specific sites
- Spot checking and recording data
Probes for Sleuth FID
- Standard probe - for rapid surveys
- Straight probe - ideal for highlighting leaks in confined spaces, for example bore holes
- Roller probe - avoids sample dilution in windy conditions
- Probe cup - used in conjunction with the straight probe to seal areas
