Fumigation Probe 380
GASTEC Fumigation Probe 380 for Shipping Containers
Penetrating. Safe. Cargo Container Fumigant Testing.
The GASTEC Fumigation Probe 380 is a specialized sampling probe engineered for port authorities, customs officers, terminal stevedores, and cargo fumigators. It features a rigid, slender stainless steel needle tube designed to slip between the closed rubber door gaskets of shipping containers, allowing operators to measure residual phosphine, methyl bromide, and sulfuryl fluoride before opening the doors and exposing workers to lethal gas clouds.
Closed-Door Pre-Opening Sampling
Enables air testing from inside containers without breaking door seals or opening handles.
Slender Stainless Steel Probe Needle
High-strength 316 stainless steel needle slides smoothly through tightly clamped rubber gasket seals.
Direct Tube Holder Integration
Built-in elastomeric connector holds GASTEC detector tubes securely in line with the probe shaft.
Ergonomic Push-Handle
Contoured grip handle allows steady insertion force through tough, aged container weather stripping.
Compatible with GV-100S Pump
Couples directly to GASTEC GV-100S or GV-110S manual gas sampling pumps for instant spot measurements.
Zero Atmospheric Dilution
Needle orifice geometry draws pure container headspace air without drawing in outside draft air.
Fast Container Inspection. Protect Port Crews Before Doors Open.
Insert Detector Tube
Break tips of GASTEC Phosphine or Methyl Bromide tube and insert into probe rear rubber socket.
Insert Through Door Gasket
Gently slide the slender stainless steel probe needle between the container's rubber door gaskets into interior headspace.
Draw Sample with GV-100S
Attach sampling pump to tube end, pull handle to draw 100 mL sample, and read concentration directly on scale.
Precision Side Intake Holes
Laser-drilled side ports prevent rubber gasket debris from plugging the tip during insertion.
Gas-Tight Rubber Seal Collar
Ensures 100% vacuum seal between the needle shaft and the detector tube inlet.
Life-Saving Safety Barrier
Prevents devastating accidental inhalation exposures when opening fumigated sea containers.
Customs & Border Port Clearance
Enables border inspection officers to verify shipping container safety before physical cargo examinations.
Port Stevedore & Warehouse Safety
Protects dockworkers and fork-truck operators from unexpected toxic fumigant releases during container devanning.
Grain & Agricultural Import Checks
Verifies that phosphine gas used to fumigate wheat, corn, and rice cargo has dissipated to safe levels.
Timber & Wood Pallet Inspections
Monitors methyl bromide concentrations applied for ISPM-15 quarantine pest compliance.
Post-Fumigation Aeration Audits
Confirms whether ventilation fans have successfully cleared residual toxic gas from sealed chambers.
Rail Freight & Intermodal Terminals
Conducts rapid spot checks on rail boxcars and intermodal reefers before yard handling.
The Specs Speak for Themselves
Proven parameters engineered for maritime cargo and container fumigant screening.
Zero Opening
allows atmospheric testing while container doors remain 100% locked and sealed
316 Stainless
marine-grade alloy resists corrosive salt spray, high humidity, and aggressive fumigant vapors
Side Ports
radial sampling intake ports eliminate coring and clogging from rubber gasket material
