AMETEK Brookfield Jerome J505 Mercury Vapour Analyser
Wide-range mercury vapour analysis using atomic fluorescence for industrial and environmental applications.
Key highlights
- Wide-range mercury detection: Measures from 0.05 to 500 µg/m³ across low and higher concentrations.
- Portable survey analyser: Designed for field inspections and contamination assessment.
- Atomic fluorescence technology: Provides accurate, repeatable mercury vapour measurement.
- Search mode capability: Continuous sampling helps locate contamination sources.
- No regeneration downtime: Atomic fluorescence removes the need for regeneration cycles.
- Regulatory alignment: Supports monitoring against recognised limits.
The AMETEK Brookfield Jerome J505 is a portable mercury vapour analyser using atomic fluorescence spectroscopy, designed for accurate measurement of mercury across a wide concentration range. It supports both low-level detection and higher concentration monitoring where reliable mercury measurement is required.
The analyser is used in industrial hygiene, process monitoring, and environmental applications where mercury vapour may be present at varying levels. Typical use cases include spill response, equipment monitoring, regulatory compliance, and remediation work, where accurate measurement supports safe operation and informed decision-making.
A key advantage of the J505 is its operation without sensor regeneration. Unlike gold film analysers, the atomic fluorescence method removes the need for regeneration cycles, allowing continuous operation without downtime and improving efficiency during field investigations and routine monitoring.
The J505 supports survey-based measurement using search mode, enabling continuous sampling to locate sources of mercury contamination. This allows users to identify problem areas quickly and take targeted corrective action, particularly in industrial and remediation environments.
Designed for portable use in demanding environments, the analyser combines a durable construction with battery operation and integrated data logging. This supports extended field deployment while capturing measurement data for reporting, analysis, and compliance documentation.
Key Features
- Wide detection range: Measures mercury vapour from 0.05 µg/m³ to 500 µg/m³, supporting both low-level detection and higher concentration monitoring.
- Atomic fluorescence spectroscopy: Advanced sensing method that minimises interference and provides highly repeatable and stable measurement results.
- No regeneration required: Eliminates regeneration cycles associated with traditional sensor technologies, enabling continuous operation without downtime.
- Multiple operating modes: Standard, quick, and search modes support fixed-point measurement, rapid checks, and continuous area scanning.
- Search mode functionality: Continuous sampling capability allows users to locate sources of mercury vapour and identify contamination hotspots.
- Integrated data logging: Stores up to 10,000 readings with date, time, and location information for reporting and compliance tracking.
- USB data interface: Enables transfer of measurement data to PC, printer, or USB storage for analysis and documentation.
- Efficient low flow design: Optical cell requires lower flow rates, reducing sample dilution and improving measurement stability.
- Rugged portable construction: Durable metal enclosure designed for reliable operation in industrial and field environments.
