GasPak Vapor Monitoring System

OUT-OF-TANK PRODUCT DETECTOR (VAPOR-PHASE)

Detector:

Output type:

quantitative

Sampling frequency:

intermittent

Operating principle:

product permeable detector

 

*California regulations require vadose zone vapor monitoring to be continuous. This sensor does not meet the criteria.

Comments:
Detection times were not directly measured.  However, evaluator states, “experiential evidence predicts that the detector response will reach ‘alarm' conditions (30% of maximum fresh fuel response) at a distance of 5 meters in slightly over one day.”
Each cartridge is used once, then replaced by another.
