Tiger is chosen at the PID to measure VOCs<\/h2>\n

Leading independent site investigation, geotechnical engineering and environmental consultancy, Southern Testing, has chosen the handheld Tiger PID to measure VOCs in the field.<\/p>\n

Recommended by our exclusive UK distributor,\u00a0Shawcity<\/a>, as a replacement for equipment that was no longer \u00a0supported by its manufacturer, the revolutionary Tiger instruments enable Southern Testing to make an assessment of risk associated with ground-borne vapour, and also to screen soil samples, which then allows them to make the best use of their laboratory analysis budgets.<\/p>\n

According to Dr. Lawrence Mockett, Director at the Sussex-based consultancy, the ground vapour is measured in monitoring wells, while soil samples are screened by headspace, with the equipment used four or five times each week at various sites around the UK.<\/p>\n

He says: \u201cThe Tiger\u2019s reliability, ruggedness and in-built humidity resistance are all key benefits to us. We frequently encounter high humidity conditions so it enables us to obtain reliable data where other equipment has previously failed.\u201d<\/p>\n

About the Tiger VOC monitor<\/h2>\n

The Tiger handheld VOC detector is a revolutionary handheld gas detection instrument for the\u00a0rapid, accurate detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)\u00a0within the harshest of environments.<\/p>\n

Tiger incorporates Ion Science\u00a0patented photoionisation detection (PID) sensor technology\u00a0with\u00a0humidity resistance\u00a0and\u00a0anti-contamination design,\u00a0proven to\u00a0dramatically extend run time\u00a0in the field.<\/p>\n

A robust VOC detector Tiger provides a\u00a0dynamic\u00a0detection range of 0 to 20,000 parts per million (ppm) with a minimum sensitivity of 0.001ppm (1 ppb), offering the widest measurement range of any other VOC detector on the market.<\/p>\n

This handheld VOC detector has the\u00a0fastest response time on the market of just two seconds\u00a0and is just as quick to clear down. The instrument can be connected directly to a PC via the USB offering extremely\u00a0fast data download\u00a0capabilities.<\/p>\n

Tiger has been designed for the safe replacement of batteries in hazardous environments.\u00a0Long-life rechargeable Li-ion batteries give up to 24 hours of use. Fast battery charging allows the instrument to be\u00a0fully charged in 6.5 hours, while 8 hours of use can be achieved from 1.5 hours charge.<\/p>\n

Low-cost filters and lamps can be\u00a0easily changed in seconds, minimising instrument downtime. Inexpensive disposable parts mean the Tiger VOC detector has the\u00a0lowest running costs on the market.<\/p>\n

Tiger is a fully\u00a0upgradeable VOC detector\u00a0with multiple functions to choose from. A base unit can be upgraded with data logging, health and safety and ppb options, remotely, without needing to be returned to the factory.<\/p>\n

Tiger offers\u00a0simple, one-handed operation\u00a0for easy VOC detection. Its rugged design and protective, removable rubber boot\u00a0withstand the harshest environments.<\/p>\n

The large, clear back-lit display allows for\u00a0easy viewing in any light condition. An integrated torch is designed for directing the instrument\u2019s probe into dimly lit areas.<\/p>\n

Ready to use on start-up the Tiger VOC detector needs\u00a0no complex set up\u00a0procedures via a PC to perform basic functions. Its\u00a0simple-to-use software features require\u00a0minimal user training.<\/p>\n

Tiger uses the same PID sensor technology found within all Ion Science handheld, personal and fixed VOC detectors. This ground-breaking PID technology is\u00a0widely used and trusted by major gas detection manufacturers\u00a0worldwide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
