Tube Activation For Formaldehyde 0.2/a (10) | Draeger

The Dräger Tube Activation for Formaldehyde 0.2/a (10) is a chemical detection tube used in conjunction with Dräger's gas detection equipment for measuring formaldehyde levels in the air. Dräger tubes are commonly used in industrial hygiene and environmental monitoring to assess the concentration of specific gases in a given area.

Key Product Details:

• Tube Type: Dräger Colorimetric Detection Tube

  • This tube is designed for the measurement of formaldehyde (CH₂O) in the air.

  • It works on the principle of color change. When formaldehyde passes through the tube, it reacts with the chemical reagent inside, causing the tube to change color. The length of the color change is proportional to the concentration of formaldehyde.

• Detection Range: 0.2 to 10 ppm (parts per million)

  • The tube can detect formaldehyde levels between 0.2 and 10 ppm, which is suitable for many workplace and environmental monitoring scenarios where formaldehyde concentrations are critical.

• Tube Activation:

  • The tube is designed to be activated by drawing air through the tube with a Dräger hand pump or gas detection instrument.

  • The detection process involves opening the tube, allowing air to pass through, and reading the resulting color change.

• Quantity in Pack: 10 tubes per pack

  • This product typically comes in a pack containing 10 individual tubes, which allows for multiple measurements or tests.

• Applications:

  • Used in industries where formaldehyde is present, such as in chemical manufacturing, construction, laboratories, textiles, and automotive industries.

  • It is especially useful for monitoring air quality in environments where formaldehyde is used or produced, such as in spaces with pressed wood products, certain insulation materials, and other formaldehyde-releasing substances.

• Performance:

  • The color change in the tube is clear and easy to interpret. The result can be directly compared to the provided calibration scale for formaldehyde concentrations.

  • Dräger tubes provide reliable and accurate measurements, ensuring safety in workplaces where exposure to harmful gases, like formaldehyde, is a concern.

• Shelf Life:

  • Typically, the shelf life of these tubes ranges from 2 to 3 years when stored in a cool, dry place away from light and humidity. Always check the expiration date provided by the manufacturer for optimal accuracy.

• Safety Notes:

  • Proper handling and activation techniques must be followed for accurate results.

  • Dräger tubes are for single-use only and should be disposed of properly after use.
