The new version of our popular IAQ monitor is now available. The 2212 has all the same features and measures the same parameters as the 2211 did, but our engineers have improved the response time on the humidity portion of the sensor. The new sensor is faster and delivers accurate humidity measurements in just 15 seconds.

Sensors Available for Over 20 Different Gases
|
Handheld Gas Monitor Offers Economy and Flexibility
 The new Gasmaster from Kanomax is a versatile, affordable tool capable of measuring many different gases in several ranges making it suitable for many types of applications.
Features include: Over 20 interchangeable sensor heads to measure various gases in several ranges. These sensors are easy to swap in the field and do not require recalibration of the main unit. Sensor types include: Ozone, VOC, Carbon dioxide, Formaldehyde, multi-gas IAQ sensor that detect 5 different parameters simultaneously and many others.
We've recently updated our website to include more details about this popular handheld unit. Check out the links section for detailed specifications and more.

Tools for Ventilation & Airflow Exchange Rates

Measure airflow, temperature, humidity and CO2 levels to ensure building comfort
 Our TABmaster Capture Hoods are the primary tool we sell to measure how much air is coming out of a duct. This is a great way to check if your air handler is pumping enough air through the vents. Since the TABmaster also measures temperature you can check your heat or air conditioning efficiency at the same time. This is a great place to start the testing, adjusting and balancing process but it's not the only tool we sell that can help with indoor air comfort.
 The new 2212 indoor air quality monitor can measure CO, CO2, temp erature and humidity, but did you know it also has a function that will help you calculate the percentage of outside air being introduced to your system? With this feature it's possible to figure out the number of air exchanges occurring in a set period. While the capture hood can tell you how much air is being pumped through the duct it can't measure the CO2 levels which can contribute to health issues that affect productivity such as tiredness and headaches.

Protect Employees From Oil Mist Exposure
|
Measure Oil Mist with the Unique Model 3521 Piezobalance Dust Monitor  The piezobalance dust monitor from Kanomax operates by electrically charging the particulates it takes in. The charged particulates are then deposited on a piezocrystal. By measuring the change in frequency of the crystal the monitor is able to determine the mass concentration of the particulates. Since the actual mass concentration is measured there is no need for a K-factor with this type of monitor. The piezobalance monitor can also measure some particulates, such as oil mist, that cannot be measured with a light-scattering monitor. |
Oil mist is created by many machining processes such as drilling or grinding. The oil is used as a lubricant to protect machinery, but as it heats up it vaporizes and then condenses when it comes into contact with cooler air. Oil mist ranges from 1µm to 10µm and can stay suspended in the air for quite a long time before settling.
It has been linked to several skin problems including dermatitis, acne and skin cancer. It can also cause several respiratory ailments such as asthma, bronchitis and allergic reactions in some individuals.
Using a monitor for comparison readings, like the Piezobalance dust monitor, before during and after machining processes can give an indication of how much oil mist is present in the air and can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of countermeasures such as filtration and ventilation.
|
The drawback to a piezobalance monitor is that the crystal must be cleaned every hour which makes it unsuitable for long-term measurements. The Kanomax model 3521 is designed to be simple to operate and clean. It requires no special training to use and comes with an RS232 interface for downloading data to a PC. The unit itself can store up to 500 measurements.
