Gas analysers?

[newcastle phill]

I have the 457 - like it..easy to use but haven't really tried anything else

 

[tamz]

457 is overkill for domestic

 

[newcastle phill]

Haa Co room measuring - and few other features that are handy.
It all comes down to cost.
I got mine for the same as most 455s so it was a bo brainer

Excuse poor typing hah

 

[tamz]

If i was buying a new one it would be this one

If you just want a basic analyzer buy a 250 one or their variants.
Nothing in this game is cheap not that you'd know that from the stupid low prices some charge for their work.

I have always used a testo 327 I have 2 but one needs calibrating. They are expensive but it comes down to which one you feel is right for you.

Just hired a Anton evo3 £10 a day. The Anton app seems good!

 

[tamz]

I'll hire you one for a fiver a day minimum hire 90 days

Have 2 sprint v2 on company and have a lot of problems with them. A pain after high CO exposure, takes ages to get down to a level to turn it off. Printer good and a must with any analyser. Sniffer probe not so good.

Only ever used kane at the odd course so can't really rate them.

Got a Testo 330-2LL now as it is a commercial rated unit. Without a doubt best i've used, and an impressive bit of kit. Strong pump so results fast, co to 0 and turn off really fast. Bluetooth link to tablet. Expensive though cost (company) about £2500 with printer probes and sniffer.
Testo definitely seems the best quality in my opinion.

Bit of a trip to collect it!

Talk about theft my second one I let my mate use it but it is registered with testo to me when he changed his van it went missing so he reported it to police and also testo. After about 3 weeks testo contacted him and said they had the unit and were posting it back to him. Someone had tried to have it calibrated. Do all the manufactures do this ?

I use an anton sprint v3 where I work at the moment. I've used a Kane in the past and they seem far more robust than the anton!

 

[Jamiethackway]

Kane 455 all the way for me, it's got all the stuff you need and is simple to use. Only a couple of the accessories that I haven't used yet but am sure I will do soon

 

[c.gas]

I've got the Kane 455 and think it's brilliant, only issue now is that I'm going to get my commercial qualifications soon and will end up having to get Kane 457 for commercial catering, so think about your plans for the future

Does the Kane 457 measure co2 ppm in the room then? If so il be getting one of those instead of a 455. Has anyone got one?

Quick question, have the rules changed for tightness testing as it use to be that analysers where not. A recognised method of tightness testing?

 

[spanner]

Kane analysers not just for flu emission uses and assisting you in carrying out tightness test.
Yes 457 measure co2 ppm

Just got myself a Kane 455 cpa1 kit , it was advertised for 400 got it for 380, needs calibration however. It's pretty much a brand new analyser, spoke to Kane and it's not stolen, I have registered in my name now. Took Kane best part of 2 mins on phone to verify the serial number and calibration history before I bought it.
Keep a lookout you might find similar deal, I was inspired by another engineer at my acs centre who did the same got himself similar deal

 

[kozak1968]

I got the Kane 504 about 2 months ago. £300 and does everything i need. Long life sensors and the service is £65 plus vat and £115 on fifth service.
