GASTEC Automatic Air Sampling Pump GSP-501FT
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.
Internal mass flow sensor actively compensates for pressure drops across sampling media.
Operates in Timer Mode (1 min to 30 hours) and Volume Mode (0.010 to 900 L) with auto-shutoff.
Shows real-time flow rate, elapsed time, accumulated volume, and battery status at a glance.
Stores up to 5 custom sampling programs for repeatable multi-cycle testing workflows.
Ultra-lightweight design clips securely to a technician's belt or lapel for personal exposure monitoring.
Operates on standard rechargeable or alkaline AA batteries with extended runtimes.
Insert GASTEC detector tube or sorbent tube into the protective rubber holder connected to pump inlet.
Use intuitive digital push buttons to choose your target flow rate (50–500 mL/min) and timer/volume target.
Press Start; the pump runs with active flow regulation and automatically powers down once the target is reached.

High-efficiency diaphragm pump mechanism generates smooth, non-pulsing vacuum suction.
Microprocessor adjusts motor voltage dynamically to counter pressure resistance increases during sampling.
Accurately calculates total sampled air liters to support immediate ppm or mg/m³ compliance calculations.
Conducts 8-hour Time-Weighted Average personal exposure monitoring on workers in chemical plants.
Performs low-volume, continuous sampling for trace solvent vapors and formaldehyde sterilants.
Pairs with filter cassettes and sorbent tubes to measure hazardous airborne metal fumes.
Evaluates commercial buildings and schools for VOCs, formaldehyde, and chemical outgassing.
Samples low-concentration phosphine and methyl bromide in grain silos and storage facilities.
Tests containment and air capture efficiency across research and analytical chemical hoods.
