Tube Acid Test (10) | Draeger

The Draeger Tube Acid Test (10) refers to a specific type of Draeger gas detection tube used for measuring the concentration of acids (such as sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid) in the air. Draeger tubes are widely used for accurate, single-shot measurements of various gases and vapors.

Here are some general product details and features you can expect for Draeger gas detection tubes like the Acid Test (10):

Product Description:

• Type: Gas detection tube (reagents inside the tube react with specific gases)

• Application: Designed for measuring acid gases or specific acidic compounds in the air.

• Measurement Range: Typically calibrated for the detection of specific acidic gases or vapors (e.g., sulfur dioxide, hydrochloric acid). The "10" in the name may refer to the measurement range or a specific model within the series.

• Technology: Draeger tubes use a reagent-filled glass tube, and when air is drawn through it via a manual pump, a chemical reaction occurs that changes the color of the reagent inside the tube. The color change is then compared to a scale on the tube for concentration determination.

• Accuracy: Offers quick and accurate spot testing for precise measurements of acid gases in the air.

• Usage: Commonly used in industrial, laboratory, or safety settings to monitor air quality and ensure compliance with workplace safety standards.

• Reagents: The chemical reagents inside the tube are specially designed to react with acids or acid gases, providing visible color changes proportional to the concentration of the gas being tested.

Key Features:

• Easy-to-Use: Requires only a Draeger gas detector pump to draw air through the tube, making it user-friendly.

• Visual Results: The color change is easily visible, and the concentration is read against a calibrated scale printed on the tube.

• Portable: Lightweight and easy to carry, making it suitable for field measurements.

• No Calibration Needed: Draeger tubes typically come pre-calibrated, so there’s no need for complex setups or adjustments.

• Non-Electronic: As a manual system, it doesn't require power sources, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments.

Typical Applications:

• Environmental Monitoring: To assess air quality and pollution levels in industrial settings.

• Industrial Hygiene: Measuring exposure to harmful acids or vapors in workplaces to ensure the safety of workers.

• Laboratories: For quick on-the-spot analysis of airborne chemicals.

• Compliance Testing: Ensuring that air quality in various settings meets local and international safety standards.
