Drager gas detection tubes detect a wider range of gases and vapours than conventional gas monitors. They require no maintenance and provide on-the-spot measurement, making them economical for irregular or one-time gas monitoring.
Glass vials containing reagent are used with the Accuro bellows manual pump or the X-act 5000 automatic pump. Remove both tube tips before inserting them into the pump. The measurement usually takes 5 seconds to 15 minutes, depending on the tube and sampling pump.
If gas or target chemical is detected, the reagent inside the tube changes colour in proportion to the gas concentration detected, shown by the scale on the colorimetric tube. Some tubes feature a dual-calibrated scale so that you can interpret the results without using multiplication factors. Tubes are generally single-use and supplied in packs of ten, fully calibrated.
Used for air quality monitoring in the workplace or determining peaks to comply with legal guidelines. Other examples include compressed air applications, emissions, and leak checking.
Features
- Optional equipment available for non-ambient monitoring.
- Some tubes offer a ±10 % standard deviation on results.
- Two-year shelf life. Keep tubes out of direct sunlight & stored below 25°C.
- Supplied in packs of 10 tubes unless indicated otherwise.
- Pre-layers on many tubes reduce interference from other gases.
- The Accuro pump requires no lubrication and is corrosion-resistant.
