Ambient air analysis

August 2010 Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration

The Miran SapphIRe series of ambient air analysers is a lightweight, portable gas detection system for sensitive sub-ppm detection. Use of infrared spectroscopy provides the ability to specifically and accurately measure many gases with a single unit. Three models with gas calibrations from one to over 100 gases are available. The models are upgradeable in the series, allowing users to meet current requirements and expand economically in the future.

The Miran SapphIRe XL offers optimal measurement capabilities for high-end users who need to measure a wide variety or mixed atmosphere of gases. It contains over 120 single gas applications with customisation capability for consultants, industrial hygienists, regulatory agencies, research scientists and emergency response professionals.

The Miran SapphIRe SL provides flexibility for users who perform measurements on a routine basis. It contains over 50 single gas applications with customisation capability for air quality specialists and anaesthetic gas monitoring technicians.

The Miran SapphIRe DL is designed for users who regularly encounter a limited number of air monitoring applications. It features quick and easy operation for enforcement agencies and specified compound measurement projects.

Typical applications include:

* Industrial hygiene real-time detection of vapours in work environments promotes safe work habits.

* Emergency response analysis – assists emergency response personnel to quantify hazardous conditions.

* Indoor air quality studies – precise spot measurements for various gases and vapours.

* Waste anaesthetic gases – identify leaks on anaesthetic delivery systems.

* Fume hoods – effective monitor for evaluating fume containment of laboratory hoods.

* Leak detection for process maintenance – check for leaks around process equipment.
