12-Pocket L-Spec With DOT Class 3 Label
  • Field Tested 100’s of Times by Inspectors and Repeatedly “Drop Checked”- We put several field test units to work with an inspection company in Houston. As a result of direct feedback from our trusted advisers (inspectors and company executives) we incorporated key design elements in our product that made it exactly what the industry asked us for. After finalizing the production design we then conducted “drop tests” repeatedly onto gravel and concrete from as high as 12′ with fully loaded L-Spec cases (with 12 one quart glass bottles full of water) without breaking or cracking a single sample bottle.   
  • See L-Spec “Crash Test” Tab for 60 second video drop test.

  • The L-Spec was designed with inspector safety and sample bottle security as the main goals. Hence, the L-Spec is made of high strength very light weight materials. Soft rounded edges ensure the L-Spec rides smoothly against the inspector’s body  especially while being carried by the shoulder strap.  Additionally, unlike square corners and edges that increase stress concentrations during an impact, the rounded edges on the two base plates minimize impact stresses by more evenly transferring stress loads into the body of the L-Spec. 
  • Double Carrying Handle– We give operator’s two ways to carry the L-Spec. There is a comfortable padded double handle for carrying the L-Spec the conventional way. But to make carrying a full load of sample bottles much safer and more comfortable than ever before we attached a high strength “D-ring” at each end of the L-Spec and attached a military grade extra thick padded shoulder strap.
  • Custom Shoulder Strap- The extra wide shoulder strap is ideal for carrying the L-Spec when fully loaded down with filled sample bottles. Not only does the shoulder strap eliminate the potential of a mishap caused by an inspector getting hand grip fatigue, but both hands are now free to steady the inspector and his cargo of samples as he climbs up, down, and on top of the tank. This feature alone automatically takes safety to a whole new level for the inspector.
  • D-Rings- Allow the inspector to securely strap the L-Spec into place during vehicular transport to and from the lab. This benefit of the D-rings combined with other design attributes described below are what enable the inspector to only put the samples in the carrier once and take them out once.
  • D-rings- By being attached at the center of gravity at each end of the L-Spec the D-rings ensure the carrier doesn’t rotate or flip upside down when picked up solely using the shoulder strap.
  • Tool & SR Form Pocket- A 9″X9″ pocket is sewn into the front of the carrier to hold small tools and paperwork.  A velcro flap ensures security of contents.
  • Large Double Pull YKK #10 Zipper- We chose this zipper for it’s high strength and reliability and because it has two large pulls that make zipping in cold and wet conditions simple even with gloves.
  • Base Plate #1- There is a High Molecular Density Plastic (HMDP) base plate in the bottom interior of the main insert. This high strength plastic base plate minimizes the possibility of object penetration while providing additional impact protection to the bottom of the sample bottles. This plate also provides general structural support to the case.
  • Base Plate #2- Another HMDP plate on the bottom exterior of the case is riveted to the interior base plate to provide an extra layer of impact protection and also function as a skid plate to minimize wear/tear & abrasion from sliding in and out of vehicles and walkways. Shown below.

  • Petrochemical Resistant Protective Foam Insert- Inside each L-Spec is a Polyethylene 220 (PE 220) foam insert. The insert fits snugly into and completely fills the main body of the L-Spec and has up to 14 vertically oriented “cylinders” cut into it. Each cylinder is sized to hold each bottle firmly in place and each bottle is separated from the bottles on either side by nearly an inch of Ethafoam material. The bottoms of each bottle is also protected and isolated from the hard-plastic base plate of the L-Spec by an additional thick cushion of PE 220.
  • Multiple Foam Insert Versions- The L-Spec is specifically designed to accommodate three different sizes of sample bottles. Whether you need to carry Glass Quart, Glass Liter, and Plastic Liter sized bottles all you need to do is specify which bottle when ordering and we will ship your L-Spec with custom fitting PE 220 inserts for that type bottle.
  • Liquid Tight Containment- Most importantly each Ethafoam insert is surrounded by a ultra-sonic welded petrochemical resistant “scrim bag” that creates a watertight/leak-proof barrier, while the L-Spec is upright, around all sample bottles and is replaceable should it become torn. Shown below.
  • Securely Carry One to Fourteen Samples in the Same Carrier- Also, unlike aluminum sample carriers that require you to buy additional carriers for different bottle sizes and for different numbers of bottles to carry, the L-Spec enables you to securely carry up to fourteen bottles or as few as one sample bottle in the same carrier.

  • More Foam Padding– Sewn into the  lid of each L-Spec is a second foam insert that firmly engages the top of the main foam insert when the lid is pulled down and zipped tight. Ultimately, all the bottles regardless of size are isolated from one another and cannot move up, down, or sideways. This not only eliminates the possibility of the bottles clanging together during transport (as they do in aluminum sample carriers) and cracking or breaking but also minimizes the potential for the bottles to break should the L-Spec be dropped.
  • Foam Inserts Ensure Sample Security- As can be seen in the picture below the foam inserts hold sample bottles securely even with the bottle insert standing on edge. This is clearly impossible with other sample carriers.
  • L-Spec FLOATS!  No need to worry if an inspector accidentally drops their L-Spec into water. Even with all bottles completely filled with liquid of any kind your L-Spec will float and thus enable recovery of samples that would have otherwise been lost. Filled and Floating L-Spec shown below.
  • Simple Maintenance- Care and cleaning of the L-Spec is simple and easy.  Just remove the PE 220 foam insert from the carrier. Wash the foam inside and outside as well as the carrier and lid with a quality dish washing liquid and warm water. Then simply air dry your foam insert and carrier and reinstall the foam into the carrier.                                                                                              Do Not machine wash or machine dry your L-Spec.
  • We recommend application of Staticide® Static Sentry anti-static treatment to your L-Spec before use and especially after washing it or when it’s been exposed to heavy rain and/or wet conditions. This treatment maximizes the L-Spec’s anti-static properties. Recommended website: https://www.aclstaticide.com/products/staticide-static-sentry-1
