Description
The Draeger Tube Amine Test (10) is a specialized test tube used for detecting and measuring amine compounds in air or gas samples. These test tubes are part of Draeger’s broad range of gas detection tubes, which are designed for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of various gases, vapors, and airborne contaminants.
Here’s an overview of what this product typically entails:
Product Description:
-
Name: Draeger Tube Amine Test (10)
-
Type: Gas detection tube
-
Test Method: Colorimetric detection
-
Detection Range: The number "10" typically refers to a specific range or volume of amine compound that can be detected (e.g., 0-10 ppm or a specific concentration range depending on the exact chemical).
-
Purpose: Designed for the detection of amine compounds, which are often used in industrial applications like manufacturing, cleaning, or chemical processing. Amine detection is crucial in environments where exposure to toxic, irritating, or corrosive substances needs to be monitored.
How It Works:
-
Sampling: A sample of the air or gas is drawn through the test tube using a Draeger gas sampling pump. The tube contains a reactive reagent that changes color in the presence of amine gases.
-
Color Change: The intensity and extent of the color change on the inside of the tube corresponds to the concentration of amines present in the sample. The reaction is calibrated to give a visual reading of the concentration level.
-
Result Interpretation: The test tube will provide a visual result that can be compared against the calibration scale printed on the tube to give the concentration in parts per million (ppm) or another unit depending on the tube.
Key Features:
-
Portability: Compact and easy to use in the field for on-site measurements.
-
No Need for Complex Equipment: Requires only a Draeger sampling pump, making it simple and convenient for both experienced and non-experienced users.
-
Instant Results: Provides results quickly, usually within a few minutes, depending on the specific test being conducted.
-
Safety: Useful for occupational safety, ensuring that amine concentrations in the air are within safe limits.
Applications:
-
Industrial settings where amines are present (e.g., chemical plants, refineries, manufacturing facilities).
-
Environmental monitoring of air quality.
-
Occupational safety monitoring, especially for workers exposed to amines.
