This kit is a heavy-duty solution for professionals who need to work with LPG (Propane) under pressure. It bridges the gap between field-rugged durability and laboratory-grade precision, specifically tailored for emergency responders and hazmat technicians.
Key Performance Specs
- Extreme Temperature Range: The specialized gauge reads from 120°F down to -80°F, which is critical since propane boils at -44°F.
- Pressure Rating: The hydrometer is rated for 200 psi (104F-105F) but is recommended to be used at temperatures not exceeding 100F as a safety precaution, allowing for safe testing of pressurized liquid samples under normal conditions.
- Ready for Field Use: The inclusion of a flare stack and drain tube suggests it’s designed for “live” sampling where safe venting of product is necessary.
The Responder Training Enterprises Hydrometer Kit: Proven Reliability. Modern Innovation. Professional Precision.
The Responder Training Enterprises (RTE) Hydrometer Kit takes a trusted classic and upgrades it with features designed for the modern responder. This isn’t just a collection of parts; it’s a rugged, all-in-one solution for accurate liquid and vapor sampling.
What Makes This Kit Different?
Most standard hydrometer setups are fragile or require a mess of separate adapters for different tanks. The RTE kit eliminates the guesswork:
- Universal Connectivity: Includes a stainless steel braided hose and a QCC connector, allowing you to pull samples directly from a standard 20lb grill tank right out of the box.
- Maximum Versatility: The included 1-3/4″ ACME x 1-5/16″ ACME adapter ensures you can connect to multiple tank configurations using the common components already in your response or training kit.
Built for the Field
- Extreme Accuracy: Features a high-visibility and a large, easy-to-read temperature and pressure gauges.
- Cold-Weather Ready: The specialized HIGH VISABILITY temperature gauge reads well below propane’s -44°F boiling point (down to -80F), ensuring precision in the harshest conditions.
- Professional Grade: Every kit ships in a foam-protected hard case and includes a Pyrex beaker, drain tube, and vent/flare stack.
