Asbestos measurements are often carried out by a DIA (the Dutch certified asbestos surveyor). A single measurement effectively counts as no measurement at all, which is why a DIA will often have several asbestos pumps that need to be transported to the sampling location at the same time.

An ergonomic pump design means that several pumps can be carried comfortably. Asbestos pumps are of course designed to be splash-proof, so that they can easily be rinsed off. For certain asbestos analyses an acetone vaporiser can be used, which further prepares the sampled filter for analysis under the microscope.

The Casella Vortex3 High Flow Air Sampling Pump offers excellent value for money, features Bluetooth connectivity and is easy to operate. It can even be operated from any mobile device running iOS or Android. The flow rate can be set between 5 and 12 litres per minute, which makes it a versatile air sampling pump. The pump can also handle a very wide range of filters, including filters that require a high back pressure.

The ALERT PRO 1000 Real-time Asbestos Monitor weighs just 5.5 kilograms and allows you to measure asbestos fibres in the air in real time. Alongside laboratory analysis, this is a complementary or alternative method of guaranteeing that a workplace is safe. The technology has advanced to the point where this asbestos pump has no trouble distinguishing asbestos from fibres such as mineral wool and glass. An accuracy score of 99% makes this an excellent first line of protection.
