Air sampling without memory loss
Pump provides significant improvements to sampling reliability and ease of use, not least through use of nickel metal hydride batteries
The Gilian 3500 air sampling pump, available from Quantitech, brings real innovations to workplace monitoring technology, providing significant improvements to sampling reliability and ease of use Gilian is the only pump supplier to use nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, which eliminate the problems of premature battery failure associated with NiCad batteries and dramatically reduce battery maintenance

They are also more environmentally acceptable in that they do not contain toxic Cadmium with its associated disposal problems.
NiMH batteries can be fully charged in less than five hours compared with the 14-16 hours typical of the NiCad battery.
The Gilian 3500 is also very simple to operate.
Four keys control everything and there are no codes to enter or difficult key sequences to remember.
The extra large display provides real-time feedback of flow rate, run time and total volume, making it easier to monitor pump operation.
Calibration is maintained for up to 30 days (or 200 operating hours).
If flow rate, temperature or atmospheric pressure change, the pump's unique control circuitry automatically compensates, so that calibrations made in one location remain valid for measurements in another.
The pump even provides a reminder that recalibration is due, by displaying total run time.
The Gilian 3500 is Cenelec certified intrinsically safe and supported by a full range of sampling accessories.
