DoseRAE 2 is a compact, direct-reading and alarming electronic personal radiation detector. It uses a diode and a scintillation crystal to detect X- and gamma radiation, and provides real-time monitoring of personal dose and dose rate. The real-time radiation dose rate monitoring allows immediate reaction in case of radiation occurrences and thus reduces the radiation exposure. By measuring dose equivalent and dose equivalent rate, this detector provides the functions of a dosimeter too. It also measures radiation exposure and exposure rate, which is appropriate for controlling the exposure of emergency responders to photon radiation.

CorTemp®

The CorTemp® core body temperature monitoring system, featuring the CorTemp™ ingestible temperature sensor, monitors, records and reports core body temperature accurately, wirelessly, and comfortably...even during periods of high physical activity.

How CorTemp® sensor works

The silicone coated sensor contains a micro battery, quartz crystal, communi-cation coil and circuit board, all encapsu-lated in medical grade epoxy.

Once ingested, the crystal sensor vibrates at a frequency relative to the body’s internal temperature, produces a magnetic flux and transmits a low-frequency signal harmlessly through the body.

The sensor passes through the body at the subject’s normal rate of motility which can vary anywhere from 24-36 hours.

Monitoring can be extended by administering another sensor after the initial pill has passed.

The CorTemp® sensor is accurate to ± 0.1°C and is FDA cleared and registered as a single use device.

CorTemp® Data Recorder

The data recorder detects the signal from the CorTemp™ sensor, then dis-plays and stores the data in memory.

The unit can be preprogrammed manually or via the CorTrack™ II software.

A clinician can easily transfer the recorder’s data directly to a PC platform where the data can be read into Excel® or similar spreadsheet program for analysis.

The data recorder will monitor up to 99 different CorTemp® sensors and can be either worn by a subject for continuous monitoring or can be used to take random, manual readings of multiple subjects in a field or laboratory setting.

Polar® Heart Rate is an optional feature available on the CorTemp™ data recorder.

Quantifit OHD Respirator Face Fit Testing

Technology

During a fit test, the respirator inlets are capped with test adapters, and the inhalation valves are removed from the mask. With the test worker holding his or her breath for no more than ten seconds, the Quantifit then establishes and maintains a slight vacuum,or controlled negativepressure, inside the mask. Since the respirator inlets are sealed, all sources of leakage into the mask are through the face-to-facepiece seal. The volume of air drawn out of the mask by the Quantifit during this short period of time is equal to the leak rate into the mask through the face-to-facepiece seal.It’s that simple….

Other methods such as colorimetric tubes provide only a snapshot of the concentration and no real-time alarm, unless the sample happens to be taken at the exact time of the peak occurrence. RAE Systems PID monitors provide ongoing detection and instantaneous alarms to indicate when exposure limits have been exceeded for a wide range of chemicals.

When limits are exceeded, the datalogging feature of RAE Systems monitors allows the individual to store, recall, and “see” exactly when the levels were a problem, whereas a tube cannot indicate when a level was exceeded or whether it happened all at one time or over the course of a worker’s shift.

Data from RAE Systems monitors can be instantly accessed from a personal computer. An individual can be asked what happened to create a situation in

which exposure limits were exceeded while the individual can still recollect what happened. The answer could be as simple as cleaning with solvents or the failure of a ventilator. Therefore, with fast-acting PIDs, instantaneous alarms and datalogging, RAE Systems monitors allow safety action to be taken immediately. Other methods, such as activated charcoal sampling, can take days or weeks to get results back from a lab.

Measuring a “Witches’ Brew” of Chemicals for a Particular ToxicPIDs can be used to measure a highly toxic component of a complex mixture if its percentage in the mixture is known. For example, if a gasoline contains 1% benzene and the broadband PID reading for the entire gasoline mixture is below 50 ppm, then benzene is below its Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of 0.5 ppm.

What Does a PID Detect?A PID measures all compounds whose ionization energy (IE) is less than the energy of the lamp photons (see figure at right). RAE Systems offers 9.8, 10.6, and 11.7 eV lamps.

Broadband Toxic Compound Monitoring in the WorkplaceUntil recently, the only low-cost way to get a “Go” or “No Go” reading for toxic VOCs was through the use of broadband toxic sensor such as MOS (metal oxide semiconductor) or lower explosive limit (LEL) sensors. These are not sensitive enough to provide accurate warnings of most toxic vapors until the permissible exposure levels are greatly exceeded. For example, benzene’s permissible exposure limit is 1 ppm, due to its highly carcinogenic nature. PIDs can easily measure down to 0.1 ppm benzene, while MOS and LEL sensors are best used above 100 ppm and cannot detect these low levels.

Advantages of a PIDVery sensitive – low ppm readings • measured with confidence.

Instantaneous display, updated every • second, for real-time monitoring of toxic chemicals.

Threshold monitoring–visible and • audible alarms in real time for STEL (short-term exposure limit), TWA (time-weighted average), and Peak. Alarm signals vary for each condition.

Datalog for compliance and work shift • trend analysis.

Fast, simple calibration with isobutylene. • A large table of correction factors is available, alleviating the need to purchase many calibration gases.

Protection Vs. DetectionPIDs have traditionally been considered “detection” instruments, particularly well suited for use by first responders and entry teams to determine the extent of a spill or airborne emission. RAE Systems’ PIDs are “protection” monitors, quantifying chemical concentrations and alerting workers to hazardous conditions. Other applications include PID ppm and ppb monitoring for combustible gases such as jet fuel, gasoline, and solvents.

What is a Photoionization Detector (PID)?

PAGE 41

A PID, short for photoionization detector, is a broadband sensor that responds to a large variety of organic and some inorganic compounds. The general class of compounds suitable for detection is volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or hydrocarbons (HC). Because of their sensitivity and fast response at extremely low concentrations of compounds (parts per billion), PIDs protect workers not only from gases immediately dangerous to life, but also from toxic vapors that have long-term health effects.

Continuous Monitoring Alarms When Permissible Exposure Levels are Exceeded

How Does a PID Work?

Page 42:  ·  Melbourne - Head office: Unit 3, 266 Bolton Street ELTHAM VIC 3095 t: 03 9431 3500 f: 03 9431 3577 Sydney ... UltraRAE 3000

Definition of TWA, STEL and Ceiling

Typically, the TWA is the lowest value, STEL is somewhat higher and the Ceiling is the highest. Ceiling is the concentration that should never be exceeded, even for one instant. The STEL is a running average concentration over the immediately previous 15-minute period.

The instantaneous concentrations may exceed the STEL value as long as they never exceed the Ceiling, and the 15-minute running average never exceeds the STEL limit. If the STEL alarm level is reached, the worker must be removed from STEL-level exposure for at least one hour.

Workers can be exposed to a maximum of four STEL periods per 8-hour shift, with at least one hour between exposure periods.

For detailed information about calculating STEL, TWA, Min, Max, and Average Values for ToxiRAE PID, refer to RAE Systems Technical Note TN-119.

Atmospheric Hazards in Confined Spaces

Atmospheric hazards in a confined space are those that expose entrants to a risk such as death, entrapment, injury, or acute illness from one or more of the following causes:

Oxygen:• An atmospheric oxygen concentration below 19.5% (oxygen deficiency), or above 23.5% (oxygen enrichment)Combustible gases•Toxic gases•

Using PIDs for 10% of LEL Decisions

One of the many requirements for enter ing conf ined spaces is the measurement of confined spaces for flammable gases. Prior to entry of a confined space, the level of flammable gases must be below 10% of LEL (lower explosive limit). The most common sensor used for measuring LEL is the Wheatstone bridge/catalytic bead/pellistor sensor (“Wheatstone bridge”).

LEL Sensor Limitations:• “Heavier” hydrocarbon vapors have

difficulty diffusing into the LEL sensor and reduce its output

• Common chemicals may poison LEL sensors

PIDs: Alternatives for 10% of LELPhotoionization detectors (PIDs) are sensitive hydrocarbon sensors originally designed to measure ppm levels of hydrocarbons for the environmental industry. PIDs are uniquely suited for measuring hydrocarbon mixtures. Because PIDs use an optical technology, they are resistant to the poisons that can ruin Wheatstone bridge sensors.

Why Monitor Benzene?

Benzene is a known human carcinogen that is present in automotive gasoline and other fuels in concentrations typically 0.2 to 3%. Its regulated exposure limit is so low (proposed 8-hour day TWA of 0.5 ppm) that its concentration alone usually defines the toxicity of the fuel vapors as a whole. Thus, it is necessary to measure low concentrations of benzene (often ≤1ppmv) in the presence of much higher concentrations (tens to hundreds of ppmv total) of the hundreds of aromatic and aliphatic compounds that make up gasoline.

SpecificBenzeneMeasurementsRAE-Sep™ benzene tubes scrub nearly all components out of gasoline vapors except benzene. This is accomplished through a proprietary absorption medium in the tubes. Further selectivity is afforded by using a 9.8 eV lamp, which responds strongly to aromatics but weakly to many hydrocarbons.

Helpful Information ...

What are Some Common VOC’s?

VOCs are the chemical compounds that keep industry going, and include:

• Fuels

• Oils, degreasers, heat transfer fluids

• Solvents, paints

• Plastics, resins and their precursors

VOCs are found throughout industry, from the obvious applications in the petrochemical industry to not-so-obvious applications such as sausage manufacturing.

Flame Ionization Detectors (FIDs)

Flame Ionization Detectors (FIDs) respond to a broad range of organic compounds but are non-selective.

While their linearity is excellent, their use is limited by their large size and weight, including the need to carry a hydrogen cylinder. FIDs are relatively expensive and maintenance-intensive, and this limits their use in most industries. PIDs and FIDs are often referred to generically as organic vapor analyzers, or OVAs. Many people want to know the difference between the two techniques, and the difference is really one of preference. The difference between an FID and a PID is like the difference between a meterstick and a yardstick. They effectively measure the same things, but because PIDs are smaller, easier to use, and significantly less expensive, their usefulness in industry is potentially greater than FIDs.

Correction Factor Alarm Limit Calculations for Simple Gas MixturesThe PID response of a mixture is weighted to the relative sensitivity and relative concentration of each compound:

TLVmix = 1 / (X1 / TLV1 + X2 / TLV2 + X3 / TLV3 + ... Xi / TLVi )
