Overview

The model SP-230 is RKI’s latest product offering for leak detection of combustible, toxic, freon and fumigation gases. The SP-230’s rugged, light weight design and fast response time plus ease of operation will make pinpointing hard-to-find, low concentration gas leaks a simple procedure.

The SP-230 type SC version uses a hot-wire semiconductor sensor (MOS) that can detect a range of target gases including PH3, CH4, H2, HCL, HBr and NH3. The SP-230 type FUM version also uses the same MOS sensor and can detect fumigation gases including phosphine, methyl bromide, carbon disulfide, methyl iodide, hydrogen cyanide,  sulfuryl fluoride and ethylene dibromide.

An integral pump, LCD display with backlight, molded rubber cover, LED light and weather protection (IP-67 rating) are some of the unique features of the SP-230. Snap logging features allow for accurate record keeping and testing accountability (Up to 256 data items can be recorded, and when the maximum number of items is reached, the oldest data is overwritten by new data).
