Is a flame Spectrophotometer for gas detection

It Is a portable chemical contamination control device used to detect chemical agents; G, VX & HD in the forms of vapor or aerosols

19
Q

What is the 6 measure options for the MultiRae?

A 
LeL- lower explosives limit
O2 -Oxygen
H2S -Hydrogen Sulfide
CO -carbon Monoxide 
VOC- volatile organic compound
SO2- Sulfur Dioxide
And HCN-Hydrogen Cyanide (for the 2nd meter)
20
Q

What is the (3) three technologies behind the MultiRae?

A

PIDs- photo ionization device
Catalytic Bead
Electrochemical Gas sensor (ECam)

21
Q

What is the technology behind the ECam (Electrochemical Gas Sensor)

A

ECam cell are a type of fuel cell design to produce a current that is precisely related to the chemical of the target gas in the atmosphere.

ECam gas sensors are gas detectors that measures the concentration of a target gas at an electrode and measuring the resulting current.

(Searches for O2, H2S, CO, SO2 & HCN)

22
Q

What is the test time for the Jerome?

A

Standard-28seconds
Quick-16 seconds
Search-8 seconds

23
Q

What does the LCD test for?

A

CWA(chemical warfare agents) and

TICs (toxic Industrial Chemicals)

24
Q

What does the MX 908 look for?

A

All CWA, Explosives, TIC

25
Q

What is the STEL-C for the Toxie Rae 3?

Short term exposure limit ceiling

A

200ppm

26
Q

What is a LCD 3.3?

A

The LCD 3.3 is a lightweight chemical detector that uses Ion Mobility Spectrometry

27
Q

What is the difference between the AP4C and the AP2C?

A

The AP4C is a portable chemical contamination device used to detect all nerve, blood and blister agents including TICs(toxic industrial chemical ) and TIMs (Toxic Industrial Material)

It is Intrinsically(naturally) safe

28
Q

What is the Jerome J505?

A

Is a Mercury Vapor Analyzer

29
Q

What does the flame constant supply come from?

A

A hydrogen canister

30
Q

How does the Catalytic Bead work?

A

The Catalytic Bead sensor consists of two coils of fine aluminum wire each embedded in a bead of alumina, connected electrically in a Wheatstone circuit.

The current that passes thru the coils reaches temps of between 500-550 degress Celsius.

(Oxygen has to be at least 12% by volume for the oxidation)

(Searches for LeL)

31
Q

What does the Mini Rad shows in dose mode?

A

Shows the accumulated amount of absorbed radiation.

To clear accumulated dose, press and hold the clr/test and dose key until flashing stops

32
Q

How does the Atomic fluorescence Spectroscope works? (Jerome J505)

A

Mercury atoms absorb light with a 254nm wavelength.

When the mercury atom in the sample cell absorbs the light, it is re-emitted at the same wavelength.

During instrument operation, ambient air is drawn through the intake by the pump at a nominal flow rate of one liter/minute.

The air sample is exposed to light with a 254nm wavelength. Any mercury present will absorb and then re-emit the light.

33
Q

How does the Jerome J505 reads?

A

By an atomic fluorescence spectroscopy for mercury analysis

34
Q

What are the downfalls to the LCD?

A

Meter can pick up many false positives due to fragrances like cleaning products aromatic capes, etc.

35
Q

What (3) display readings does Jerome use to measure units?

A

Nano-nanograms per cubic meter (ng/m3)
Micro- micrograms per cubic meter
Milli- milligrams per cubic meter. mg/m3)

36
Q

How’s does the LCD work?

A

It uses IONs of the vapor that enters the rain cap.

The ammonia SIV located inside the detector travels along the drift tube with the ions of the unknown vapor.

The ammonia and the unknown vapor is then compared by who made it to the collector plate the fastest which is determined by the library of the detector.

37
Q

How does the PID work?

A

measures the VOCs in the air by PID. The PID uses an ultraviolet light source to breakdown VOCs in the air into positives and negative ions. The PID then measure the charge of the ionized gas. Uses a 10.6 (eV) bulb

(Searches for for VOCs)

38
Q

What is the technology behind the AP2C?

A

Different interference filters are place in front of the photocell, which measure the luminous emitting variations of the flame.

The electrical signal from the photocell is processed in real time by a micro board. It is then analyzed.

39
Q

What are the Dose Rate Alarm set at for the Mini Radiac?

A

Low Dose Alarm 1 R/hr

High Dose Alarm 5 R/hr

40
Q

What is the VOC and LeL calibrated to?

A

VOC is calibrated to Isobutylene and LeL is calibrated to Methane.

41
Q

What is the MC908?

A

Is a mass spectrometer

42
Q

What are the Rate Alarm set at for the Mini Radiac?

A

Low Rate Alarm 100 uR/hr

High Rate Alarm 1 R/hr

43
Q

What is the Sensit?

A

It’s a combustible Gas Meter
