Overview of the Personal Air Sampling Calibrator :

The Flow DetectiveTM is a personal air sampling calibrator designed with ruggedness and accuracy in mind. With Casella’s world renowned ease of use, calibration of air sampling pumps just got quicker and easier.

Dependable and Easy to Use

This instrument has been designed to be rugged, with no moving parts so it can be used in the field.
Performing calibrations is quick and easy, with a simple user interface and colour screen that can be easily viewed from a distance.

• Colour display
• Instant and average flow readings
• Selectable measurement units
• No warm up required
• Saves time compared to traditional calibration methods quicker and easier

Wide Performance

With the longest battery life on the market, there is peace of mind that it is always ready to go. Within a few seconds of switching on the Flow DetectiveTM is ready to measure, ensuring you can calibrate devices quickly.
The wide flow range, as well as calibrating dust sampling heads, it can be used to calibrate at low flows for sorbent tube sampling, ensuring you just need one device for all personal air sampling calibration.

• Calibration to within 2% accuracy
• 70 hour battery life
• Flow range from 20mL/min (Plus model) to 5,000mL/min
• Displays standard or actual flow

Unique Pulsation Detection

As pumps generally use a moving diaphragm, this creates fluctuations in the flow rate on a pump. Sampling heads like cyclones rely on a steady flow to maintain a specific size cut, it is important for pulsation to be as small as possible.
The Flow DetectiveTM displays a red indicator if pulsation is above 10%.

• Displays when pulsation is above 10%
• Helps ensure size selection of sampling heads are accurate

Bluetooth Connectivity

When calibrating any device, the Airwave App can be used to remotely control the Flow DetectiveTM and wirelessly receive calibration data. Used with an Apex2 pump, closed loop calibration can be achieved so nothing has to be set manually on the pump, which saves time.

• Receive calibration data to your mobile device
• Halves the time to calibrate Apex2 air sampling pumps

Send Calibration Data Easily

The Airwave App allows calibration data to be sent from your mobile devices’ email client. This allows you to get calibration traceability data quickly, both before taking a sample run with a pump, and after the sampling period to verify flow is within 5%.

• Send calibration data direct to your inbox
• Specify if the result is a calibration or post measurement check
• Includes environmental and optional location data
• Has the ability to add sample information such as the wearer of the pump
