Tiger XT Select Portable Benzene Gas Detector
Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) detector with selective Benzene and TAC detection capability
The Ion Science Tiger XT Select Portable Benzene Gas Detector is a handheld benzene gas detector with the ability to detect Total Aromatic Compounds (TACs) such as benzene, toluene and acetone. This detector allows for rapid, selective detection of benzene when attached to a benzene gas detector tube and detects volatile organic compounds (VOCs) when used without the pre-filter gas tubes.
The Tiger XT Select can be used in two different user-friendly modes; Basic and Advanced. Basic mode utilises the device’s core functions to detect benzene and other TACs. Advanced mode allows the user to utilise all operational modes including standard running, TAC and Tube mode.
The Tiger XT Select Benzene Detector features include:
- Long rechargeable battery life allowing it to last up to 24 hours
- Robust body to withstand use in harsh environments
- IP65 Ingress Protection to endure tough conditions in the field
- Fast response time and clear down, responding in less than two seconds
- Instantaneous loud and visible alarms to ensure that the user is properly alerted when there are dangerous levels of detected compounds
- Large, clear backlit display for easy viewing in any light condition
The Tiger XT Select Benzene Gas Detector is ideal for confined space entry, plant maintenance gas detection, hazardous material response, barge operations and more.
