ECOtec Consulting has scientific equipment at its disposal to monitor physical and chemical agents.
Thanks to the know-how of its partners, the environmental investigations are carried out without outsourcing.
BRÜEL&KJÆR Sound Level Meter Type 2260 Investigator
Every 2260 Investigator is supplied with Basic Sound Analysis Software. With this software, 2260 Investigator becomes a Type 1 sound level meter with real-time displays of frequency analysis, 1/3-octave spectra and statistical distributions.
The unique Multi-D™ Analysis technique used by 2260 Investigator saves time and improves data consistency by concurrently measuring broad-band, spectral and statistical parameters.
BRÜEL&KJÆR OmniPower™ Sound Source Type 4296 and Power Amplifier Type 2716
A complete system to analyse acoustics performances of buildings. It allows to evaluate and identify in a short time critical points to be reclaimed.
The OmniPower Sound Source Type 4296 simulates a pulsating sphere when radiating sound. It uses a cluster of twelve loudspeakers radiating from a dodecahedral enclosure. All twelve loudspeakers are connected in a series-parallel network to ensure in-phase operation and a nominal impedance of 6W.
The Type 4296 satisfies the requirements of DIN 52210, ISO 143, 3382 and DPCM 5/12/97 standards.
The Power Amplifier Type 2716 has two channels which may be used independently or jointly. Signals enter electronically balanced inputs via XLR and jack connectors. Input level requirements are matched by those signals generated by the Investigator Type 2260 D. Total output power is in the order of 300 W and is relatively independent of load; this matches the requirements for driving the OmniPower Sound Source Type 4296 with a wide margin of safety against damaging the speaker units. The Type 2716 will deliver the full output power required for Building Acoustics measurements.
Acoustics Laboratory for post-processing of data
A sophisticated system can become difficult to manage when you need to process data from measurements. That is why we created a structure based on sophisticated PC with an interface card with the equipment and specific powerful software for the type of analysis to carry out: noise in the work place (B&K 7815 Evaluator), outdoor noise and in households (B&K 7820 Noise Explorer), intensity and sound power, architectural acoustics (B&K 7830 Qualifier e PROGIS WinGIS). Excellent results are guaranteed within short processing time.
Multilogger LSI BABUC /A
Equipment to collect, memorise and elaborate a wide variety of physical and chemical quantities, but mainly used, thanks to the power and flexibility of the Infogen Microclima software, to monitor the microclimate. Connected to various types of probes, it becomes, according to the situations, the most suitable instrument to the necessary measurement type. It is ideal for testing, environmental and thermo-technical sampling, short and long term monitoring.
Universal Photometer HAGNER S3
Photometer/radiometer capable of measuring: luminance (cd/m2), illuminance (lux), angles and solid angles (using scales in the viewing field), elevation angles (using pendulum supplied with the meter), reflection factors (using optional reflection reference), contrasts, transmission and daylight factors, glare indices etc.
What better solution to evaluate the compliance of workspaces with videoterminals or to test lighting satisfying UNI 10380 standards?
Gas Analyzer BRÜEL&KJÆR Type 1301
It’s an infrared spectrometer (FTIR), its way of measuring is based on the photo-acoustic absorption. Thanks to its compact size and transferability it allows qualitative and quantitative analysis directly at the measuring spot, the simultaneous monitoring of up to seven gas concentrations, the analysis of the quality of the air identifying the concentrations of all the component gases. It’s excellent to monitor industrial processes, to detect accidental gas emissions, to analyse areas near landfill sites or deposits of toxic substances. It is strongly recommended by ISPESL for the monitoring of anaesthetic gas in the operating rooms.
Air sampler ZAMBELLI DIGIT ISO
The portable sampler model DIGIT ISO is an extremely reliable and flexible instrument. The software installed allows to effect sampling in work environment and in duct flows for emissions’ control.
The set-in digital flow meter guarantees an absolute precision in the measuring of draw flows, with a range from 0,2 to 35 l/min and allows to keep the flow rate constant during the whole sampling. The model DIGIT ISO is provided by a new system for the adjustment and keeping the flow rate set. The survey of the room temperature and barometric pressure (optional) allows to calculate and update in real time the sampling flow, in order to keep the air velocity constant at the inlet of sampling heads. This regulation system grants the best accuracy for the particulate collection. All set out and sampling data are memorized and/or printed.
ZAMBELLI Data Logger mod. 5005
Automatic digital unit to measure and elaborate real-time surveys of thermo-dynamic parameters characteristic of the emission flows from ducts, of iso-kinetic collection intake, of the average measurements carried out and of the emission/hour in the duct. This instrument aims at simplifying and making more practical and precise the control of the conveyed flows in compliance with the UNICHIM standards.
Laboratory for the analysis and elaboration of data related to environmental hygiene
The equipment for the chemical and physical sampling is completed by air-conditioning systems for the probes (Heater 71/S1 ASAL, analytical Balance E50S GILBERTINI) and an extensive archive of regulations, analytical methods, scientific magazines and science literature from which to gain experience. It is of paramount importance for the effectiveness of the laboratory of environmental hygiene the availability, on a powerful computer, of a specific data base (IR Search) and software (Galactic GRAMS/386) for the real-time analysis and identification of components present in the samples collected by the Gas Analyzer 1301. This combination makes the system used by ECOtec Consulting to monitor gas the most sophisticated, rapid and safe on the market.
