Description
The SKC Sidekick pump is a simple and reliable pump with a high build quality which means it won’t let you down. Available in three models including two ATEX approved models. All models offer a wide flow range of 5-3000 ml/min, which means the Sidekick is suitable for dust and gas sampling projects. The lower flows are achieved with the constant pressure controller and low flow adaptor.
- A comprehensive range of accessories for collecting samples in many applications:
- Cyclones for collecting respirable dust
- IOM samplers for collecting inhalable dust
- Filters for collecting total dust, asbestos or chemical hazards
- Impingers for collecting reactive chemicals into liquids
- Sorbent sample tubes and long duration detector tubes for collecting most hazardous chemical gases and vapours from the air
