Description
Description
Gas purge unit for safely purging sample lines/instruments before or after detection.
The Dräger Accuro Soft‑Side Kit is a portable, manually operated bellows pump-based system for quick spot measurements of gas concentrations using Dräger short-term detector tubes. It is optimized for field use in industrial, chemical, environmental, or confined space settings, especially where ease-of-use, durability, and one-handed operation are essential.
Key Features & Capabilities
-
One-hand operation: The bellows pump is designed to be used with one hand, enabling the user’s other hand to stabilize or manage surroundings, which is especially useful in awkward or confined spaces.
-
Calibrated stroke volume: Each full stroke of the bellows draws a precisely calibrated 100 mL sample (±5 %) through the attached detector tube.
-
End-of-stroke indicator: The pump includes a pressure-controlled end-of-stroke indicator integrated into the pump head, which lets the user know when a full stroke is complete.
-
Automatic stroke counter: A built-in stroke counter helps the user keep track of the number of strokes made, which is helpful for ensuring proper sample volume.
-
Low maintenance: The design emphasizes simplicity and robustness, keeping maintenance requirements to a minimum.
-
Soft-side transport kit: The “soft‑side” kit includes a durable nylon or soft pouch / carrying case rather than a rigid box, making it lightweight and flexible to carry.
-
Complementary tools included: The kit typically includes a deluxe tube opener, Allen wrench, spare parts, rubber caps, and a soft pouch for storage and transport.
Use & Applications
The Accuro Soft‑Side Kit is intended for spot measurements and short-term analysis of gases and vapors using Dräger detector tubes. Common scenarios include:
-
Checking for concentration peaks
-
Monitoring in confined or hard-to-reach spaces
-
Safety checks in industrial, chemical, or environmental work
-
Use in emergency or rapid assessment situations
Because it uses colorimetric detector tubes for analysis, the actual quantification is done by visual comparison or subsequent laboratory techniques (if used with sampling tubes).
It is also suitable for use under extreme conditions, such as at height, in shafts, or while wearing protective gear, owing to its one-hand usability and compact design.
