Real time asbestos detection

Supplied by manufacturer of
electronic asbestos counters, SMH
Products, the advanced Harley
Scientific Fibrecheck provides
improved detection and measurement
of hazardous airborne fibre
particles. It can be used to quickly
and accurately assess the ambient
air-borne levels of fibrous hazards, in
particular asbestos and other man
made mineral fibres, during the
strip-out and refurbishment of
buildings and industrial
complexes.

This enables real time
measurement of the
airborne asbestos fibres,
rather than sending an air
sample away for testing,
which can take up to three
days before the results are known.

The instrument draws air in at
two litres per minute and a cyclone
filter removes excessively large
particles. Sampled air is then passed
into the optics module where
precision laser technology is used to
detect and measure the size of any
respiratory airborne particles or
fibres.
