How PhoCheck works

This hand held (PID) photo ionisation instrument is designed to find and monitor leaks of PID / VOC gases such as acetone, nonane, octane, benzene, formaldehyde, butadiene, MEK, MPK, styrene, toluene to name but a few from a very wide ranging list. These Hydrocarbon gases are found in chemical and petrochemical refineries, storage and processes and are present in many other industries.

The product is at home searching containers, vessels or pipelines for leaks or simply atmosphere monitoring, checking to see if site workers are safe from exposures of these gases.

The instrument is intrinsically safe for use in hazardous areas classified zone zero and is stringently certified by BASEEFA organization.

A selection of several hundred gases are pre-programmed into the instruments software making it extremely easy to use. It can even handle a user defined combination of gases.  Contact us to find out which gases Phocheck II will detect.

'Phocheck 3000Ex and 5000Ex offer storage of up to 20,000 data points. Data is downloaded via an IR port. These models are also programmable to alarm on exceeding Short Term'

Phocheck is simple to use and has easy to change lamps. Accessories including a range of PID lamps, calibration and cleaning kits and PC software/IR link.
