The RAE Systems LP-1200 Piston Hand Pump is used to pull a fixed volume of air through the
RAE Systems Colorimetric Gas Detection Tubes. This air sample then reacts with the granulated chemicals contained within the tubes. This reaction produces a visual color change which is measured against the scale printed on the tube. Tubes are made to measure a specific combination of gas and concentration, and are generally thought to be accurate within 25% of the final indication.
The device is simple to use and accurately draws both 50 and 100mL volumes of air in a single stroke with it's springless design. The term 'stroke' refers to pulling out the plunger, either half-way (1/2 stroke) or all-the-way (full stroke). Since most RAE tubes use only 1 or 1/2 stroke to obtain a sample, the simple and robust design ensures repeatable results.
Many of the RAE gas detection tubes have an additional or extended range available. For example, if the stated range for a tube is 10-20ppm with 1 full stroke, you
may have the option of pulling 2 strokes to get a 5-30ppm range. This does not apply to all tubes, but is quite common.
We offer the LP1200 Hand Pump either alone or as part of a kit. The
LP-1200 Kit contains (in addition to the pump) - 2 spare inlet filters, spare rubber inlet, spare plunger gasket, and carrying case.
RAE Systems offers a 2 year warranty - excluding inlet filter, rubber inlet, and plunger gasket.
