FP-30

Formaldehyde Gas Detector

These highly sensitive portable gas detectors use photoelectric photometry method with colorimetric detection tab. The sample drawing rate is controlled by a microprocessor. Both the FP-30 have a direct readout of measurement value on an LCD display. The Model FP-30 can detect the new World Health Organization level of 0.08 ppm average for 30 minutes.
