Gas seeker advice TPCP1A purging

[jonny5isalive]

Does anyone know of any (cheaper) intrinsically safe Gas seekers other than a gasco. Needed for TPCP1A purging.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Especially with all the love for the Testo and TPI gas leak seekers in the recent thread which as far as I can see don't measure LEL LFL % and/or are not intrinsically safe.

Thanks
Jon

Not sure that any apprentice is intrinsically safe.................

Drager do one but its zone 0 cat 1 and big money

Got a gasco mk1 Heard theyre more reliable than mk2.

Ended up free as its got a leak. Will send it off to be calibrated and see what they say. Not much to go wrong with them from the sounds of it so fingers crossed.

Im sure there is a testo that does

Thanks for the heads up. Certainly cheaper than new gascos but still cost £££££.
Also although they look to be intrinsically safe, for purging I need it to read %Lower Explosive Limit and it doesn't look like it does that.

Cheers Jon

Realised that this sounds well dodgy but I had already spoken to j m w ltd about it and it seems that these are quite simple mechanically and so they were pretty certain they could sort any problems as necessary and then calibrate.

At worst I have to keep looking if it's toast.

Cheers Jon

I did a bit of research as im a tool junkie too. But finally opted for a cheaper one.
It does all of that from memory. There is a pdf explaining its functions

I did just skim what it could do. It would surprise me if there weren't more products that do this.

On the tool junkie tip I saw you've got a Kane 457. Did you get it for COMCAT?

 

[newcastle phill]

No not comcat.
But its a good piece of kit.
Suppose its what your used to

 

[jonny5isalive]

What made you choose it over a 455?

 

[newcastle phill]

Is has the future proofing for taking timed room Co measurements / air quality.
Meant to be slightly more accurate as it has compensation built in for temp.
Apart from that i just got it for a great price and not alot more than a 455 at the time

 

[jonny5isalive]

Aye . Its much better value. Not much difference in price and offers a few more features. I didnt realise it was temp stabilised. Did you buy it with the air quality stand?

 

[newcastle phill]

No but I have uhum......



A photographic tripod and it was a tenner

 

[newcastle phill]

Never had to use it yet but its there

 

[jonny5isalive]

Does the job just as well i imagine. And you can use it for photographing too. .
