GASTEC Automatic Air Sampling Pump GSP-501FT

GASTEC Automatic Air Sampling Pump GSP-501FT

Automated. Constant Flow. Personal & Area Air Sampling.

The GASTEC GSP-501FT is an advanced personal and area automatic air sampling pump engineered for accurate workplace air monitoring. Equipped with real-time mass flow rate control and automatic suction pressure compensation, it maintains a strictly constant flow rate through GASTEC detector tubes and charcoal/sorbent tubes regardless of filter load or temperature fluctuations.

Real-Time Constant Flow Control

Internal mass flow sensor actively compensates for pressure drops across sampling media.

Dual Operating Modes

Operates in Timer Mode (1 min to 30 hours) and Volume Mode (0.010 to 900 L) with auto-shutoff.

Backlit Digital LCD

Shows real-time flow rate, elapsed time, accumulated volume, and battery status at a glance.

Program Memory Storage

Stores up to 5 custom sampling programs for repeatable multi-cycle testing workflows.

Compact, Clip-On Build

Ultra-lightweight design clips securely to a technician's belt or lapel for personal exposure monitoring.

Long-Life Battery Performance

Operates on standard rechargeable or alkaline AA batteries with extended runtimes.

Effortless Operation. Engineered for Continuous Precision Sampling.

01

Mount Sampling Tube

Insert GASTEC detector tube or sorbent tube into the protective rubber holder connected to pump inlet.

02

Select Flow & Duration

Use intuitive digital push buttons to choose your target flow rate (50–500 mL/min) and timer/volume target.

03

Start & Auto-Stop

Press Start; the pump runs with active flow regulation and automatically powers down once the target is reached.

04

Micro-Diaphragm Core

High-efficiency diaphragm pump mechanism generates smooth, non-pulsing vacuum suction.

05

Automatic Flow Compensation

Microprocessor adjusts motor voltage dynamically to counter pressure resistance increases during sampling.

06

Integrated Volume Totalizer

Accurately calculates total sampled air liters to support immediate ppm or mg/m³ compliance calculations.

Occupational Hygiene & TWA Monitoring

Conducts 8-hour Time-Weighted Average personal exposure monitoring on workers in chemical plants.

Pharmaceutical Cleanrooms

Performs low-volume, continuous sampling for trace solvent vapors and formaldehyde sterilants.

Welding Fume & Metal Vapor Studies

Pairs with filter cassettes and sorbent tubes to measure hazardous airborne metal fumes.

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Audits

Evaluates commercial buildings and schools for VOCs, formaldehyde, and chemical outgassing.

Fumigation Residuals in Warehouses

Samples low-concentration phosphine and methyl bromide in grain silos and storage facilities.

Laboratory Chemical Hood Verification

Tests containment and air capture efficiency across research and analytical chemical hoods.

Frequently Asked Questions

The GSP-501FT is compatible with GASTEC direct-reading detector tubes (short-term and long-term), active charcoal sorbent tubes, silica gel tubes, and standard sampling cassettes.
The pump contains a precision electronic mass flow sensor. If resistance increases in the sampling tube, the microprocessor automatically adjusts motor speed to keep the flow rate exactly at the set value.
Yes. Weighing only 300 grams with a secure belt clip and quiet operation, it is specifically designed for personal breathing zone air sampling without obstructing workers.
Depending on the selected flow rate and back-pressure, a fresh set of high-capacity AA batteries provides up to 10 to 12 hours of continuous sampling.
The GSP-501FT features an automatic error detection system. If the tubing is kinked or completely blocked, an alarm sounds and the error icon flashes on the LCD display.
