Portable VOC detection where it’s needed most<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The ION Science Tiger XT Select<\/a><\/span> portable benzene detector is currently being deployed within Formula 1 to monitor petrol vapours and exhaust emissions, supplied through Shawcity’s equipment hire service. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Utilising a high-output ION Science 10.0 eV lamp, Tiger XT Select detects total aromatic compounds (TACs) including benzene<\/a><\/span>, toluene<\/a><\/span>, and acetone<\/a><\/span> quickly and accurately. It provides accurate readings down to one part per billion (ppb), wherever portable monitoring is required. In Formula 1, this includes the pit lane garages and fuel storage areas. The Tiger XT Select\u2019s proven Photoionisation Detection (PID) technology helps users identify potentially hazardous vapours and remain within safe exposure limits, supporting safe working practices without disrupting vital day-to-day operations.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”top” top_margin=”70″ background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”274420″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” id=”ARA-X4 Sensor Options” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]For high-performance environments where flexibility or short-term use is essential, access to portable VOC detection through Shawcity’s hire fleet ensures teams have the right equipment when they need it.
