Mining monitoring questions

All rental FAQs →
Which instruments cover a mine or quarry site?

Sampling pumps for dust samples sent to a lab, real-time monitors for silica and dust, outdoor kits for the site boundary, gas monitors and noise dosimeters. Pick by task in the table above.

Can I monitor dust at the site boundary without staff on site?

Yes. The DustTrak 8535 weatherproof kit runs a DustTrak 8533 for up to 24hrs on external batteries, or around the clock on AC power. The AQS 1 sends dust and gas data over 4G LTE, Wi-Fi or Ethernet.

Can I rent pumps and sampling media together?

Yes. Rent the GilAir Plus or AirChek TOUCH and add SKC Parallel Particle Impactors (2 L/min, with pre-weighed PVC filters) to the same order.
