SKC AirLite Personal Air Sampling Pump

Overview

The AirLite sample pump is economically designed for personal sampling of asbestos, lead and other airborne contaminants in environments where intrinsic safety is not required.

Powered by economical, disposable AA alkaline batteries, the AirLite provides run times over 10 hours in the 1000 to 3000 ml/min flow range with full back pressure compensation.

A patented (U.S. Patent No. 6,741,056) flow control system, automatic features, and internal ambient temperature sensor ensure accurate air volumes and sample integrity. The bright LED indicates pump and battery status. AirLite is small and lightweight for easy attachment to a worker's belt where it won't interfere with worker activity.

The AirLite is not UL Listed for intrinsic safety.
