Measure welding fume in your workshop

With the recent change to the Workplace Exposure Standard (WES) for welding fume, many workshops are wanting to understand the effectiveness of their current welding fume controls.

Monitor Welding Fume Exposure in Real-Time with the Plymovent AeroGuard.

The Plymovent AeroGuard Air Monitor can measure the welding fume level in your workplace in real-time. This allows businesses to understand the quality of their workshop air in relation to the new workplace exposure limit for welding fume (1mg/m3). The AeroGuard is equipped with a diverse array of sensors capable of detecting a variety of pollutants and climate factors that impact the comfort and wellbeing of your workforce:

  • Particulate Matter (e.g. Welding Fume)
  • Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC)
  • Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
  • Temperature
  • Humidity
  • Sound
  • Atmospheric Pressure
  • Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Index

A 360° LED ring keeps you perpetually updated by alternating between Green (Good), Yellow (Moderate), and Red (Unhealthy) according to the air quality in your work environment*.

 

Users can access the gathered data daily, weekly, or monthly from anywhere via a free mobile app that will instantly offer alerts and updates in the event of any important changes in the environment. AeroGuard devices can also be monitored through a dedicated web portal with a complete repository of historical data, ensuring an extensive record of information.

 

Ultimately, with an AeroGuard at their disposal, businesses are far better placed to identify the risks to their workers and optimise their welding fume control measures accordingly.
