1.2 General Description
Unlike other formaldehyde monitoring devices such
as colour stain tubes and badges, the PPM–400ST
Formaldehyde Meter is capable of measuring many
samples consecutively without the need for
inconvenient ancillary equipment. Being compact and
battery operated, the instrument is truly field
portable. The PPM–400ST Formaldehyde Meter is

immediate, semi-quantitative readings of
atmospheric formaldehyde concentrations in both
ppm and mg/m

The PPM–400ST Formaldehyde Meter

measure the concentration of formaldehyde in snatch
(discrete) samples of air and should be employed
primarily as a screening device.
