Hazmet
The HazMET100 is an advanced, Portable SAM (Station for Atmospheric Measurement) can be deployed and transmitting atmospheric data to US EPA’s dispersion modeling program ALOHA within minutes. The Hazmet-100 is built around the 2100-138 Multi-parameter Meteorological Sensor. The low power requirements of the HazMET100 SAM make it well suited for portable battery and solar powered applications. The system has been designed from the ground up to work with EPA’s ALOHA program for fast setup anywhere.
- ALOHA (Areal Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres) is a free computer program designed to model chemical releases for emergency responders and planners.
- It can estimate how a toxic cloud might disperse after a chemical release as well as several fires and explosions scenarios.
- Threat Zone Estimates and Threat at a Point
- A threat zone is an area where a hazard (such as toxicity or thermal radiation) has exceeded a user-specified Level of Concern (LOC).
The compact 2100-138 sensor incorporates built-in GPS and electronic compass and measures/reports wind speed, wind direction (self-aligning to North, orientation of wind sensor to north is not required), temperature, relative humidity, and barometric pressure. Dew point is calculated.
The fully automated HazMET100 SAM provides accurate wind, temperature, relative humidity, dew point, and barometric pressure. The tripod, tripod carrying bag, and Pelican hard case are included. The wheeled hard case houses the 2100-138, battery/interface enclosure and all accessories and optional items for easy storage and transportation.
System set up may be done in less than 5 minutes and does not require any tools.
