The Drager Accuro Gas Detection Pump allows you to utilise a huge range of Drager Short-Term Detection Tubes under extreme conditions.
THIS FRONTLINE SAFETY GUIDE WILL TAKE YOU THROUGH THE TOP 5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE DRAGER ACCURO PUMP.
One of the main advantages of owning the Accuro Pump is its compatibility with the Drager Short-Term Detection Tube range. There are over 500 gases to choose from with various measurement ranges, meaning they’re suitable for many different fields of application.
Need to detect a different gas? The Accuro pump will stay the same, it’s just the tube you need to change. It’s important to note there are also simultaneous tube sets available, which will allow you to use various tubes with the Accuro at the one time.
The Drager Accuro Pump fits comfortably in the hand, which makes it easier when taking measurements from hard-to-reach places. The housing of the pump also features a mix of robust rubber and hard-wearing EPDM, allowing you to get a good grip of the instrument. There is also a short strap attachment so you can be sure that you avoid any accidental drops or damage.
In order to carry out measurements with the tubes the pump must be squeezed together. This is known as a ‘stroke’ and the number of strokes will depend on the type of tubes being used and the measurement range required.
Some tubes even require 100 strokes. Luckily, the Drager Accuro Pump has an integrated stroke counter. Every time you squeeze the pump the counter should move, making it easy to keep track.
Another feature of the Accuro, which is designed to make your job easier, is the integrated tube-opener. Your Accuro pump should come with an external tube opener, however if you happen to be without then there’s a small, inbuilt ceramic blade featured on the bottom of your pump.
This will allow the tube to be scored and cleanly opened. Be sure to discard of any debris carefully.
In addition to the Deluxe tube opener you have the option to purchase additional accessories, to suit your application. Extension hoses, vehicle exhaust probes, and bar probes can all increase the flexibility of the Accuro Pump.
As an alternative to the standard Accuro pump you can purchase the Accuro multi gas detector kit, which includes a leather carry case and spare parts kit.
There are obviously more benefits to using the Drager Accuro Pump, try it out for yourself and choose the tubes specific to your application. Don't forget to watch and share our TOP 5 THINGS video on the Drager Accuro Pump.
