Pump-Suction HCHO Monitor 0-10ppm High Accuracy Portable Formaldehyde Gas Detector
A fast-response, high-accuracy handheld gas detector with built-in sampling pump. Monitors formaldehyde (CH₂O) from 0–10ppm at 0.01ppm resolution. Features Ex ia IIC T4 Ga explosion-proof certification, IP66 protection, 100 hours runtime (pump off), and optional 100,000 data logging via USB export. Ideal for indoor air quality, wood processing, textile inspection, and industrial hygiene.
The SKY2000 series is a portable, pump-suction gas detector designed for fast response and high accuracy. With an internal sampling pump, it actively draws air for immediate analysis – no passive waiting. The unit is housed in high-intensity engineering plastic, making it suitable for harsh environments.
Taking formaldehyde (CH₂O) as an example, the SKY2000 detects concentrations from 0–10ppm with a fine 0.01ppm resolution, meeting workplace exposure monitoring requirements. The detector supports span calibration and zero calibration for reliable readings, plus a one-key factory reset function. Data can be logged (optional, up to 100,000 readings) and exported to a PC via USB without additional software.
Formaldehyde is a colorless, strong-smelling gas commonly found in:
- Pressed wood products (plywood, particleboard, MDF)
- Paints, varnishes, and adhesives
- Textiles and wrinkle-resistant fabrics
- Foam insulation and permanent press coatings
- Disinfectants and embalming fluids
| Exposure Level | Health Impact |
|---|---|
| 0.1–0.5 ppm | Eye, nose, and throat irritation |
| 0.5–1.0 ppm | Watery eyes, burning sensation, nausea |
| 1.0–3.0 ppm | Respiratory distress, coughing, chest tightness |
| >10 ppm | Severe respiratory damage, potential carcinogen (Group 1 by IARC) |
- New building / indoor air quality (IAQ) assessment after renovation
- Furniture and flooring manufacturing – QC and worker safety
- Textile and apparel factories – checking resin-treated fabrics
- Laboratories and research institutions – fume hood monitoring
- Forensic and mortuary facilities – embalming area safety
- Public health inspections – schools, hospitals, offices
