Tube Ammonia 0.25/a (10) | Draeger

1. Product Overview:
The Draeger Tube Ammonia 0.25/a (10) is a specialized tube that uses a chemical reaction to detect ammonia gas concentrations in the range of 0.25 ppm to 10 ppm. The tube is part of Draeger’s extensive line of colorimetric tubes, designed for use with a Draeger hand pump, which draws air through the tube for analysis. When ammonia comes into contact with the reagents inside the tube, a color change occurs, with the length of the color change corresponding to the ammonia concentration in the air.

2. Tube Composition:

• Chemical Reagents: Inside the tube are specific reagents that react with ammonia to produce a color change. The tube is pre-calibrated to indicate ammonia concentrations based on this color shift.

• Indicator System: The color shift is typically from a neutral (colorless) to a distinct color, and the length of the color stain is proportional to the concentration of ammonia in the air.

3. Measurement Range:

• The tube measures ammonia levels from 0.25 ppm to 10 ppm (parts per million).

4. Detection Method:

• The tube is designed for use with a Draeger gas detection pump. The user inserts the tube into the pump and draws a precise volume of air through the tube.

• As the air passes through the tube, ammonia reacts with the reagent inside, causing the tube to change color. The color length is then compared to the printed scale on the tube to determine the ammonia concentration in the air.

5. Usage Instructions:

• The Draeger Tube Ammonia 0.25/a (10) is easy to use and provides immediate results. Simply insert the tube into the pump, draw air through the tube, and compare the color change to the provided scale.

• Each tube is designed for a single use, making it convenient for field testing or rapid safety checks.

6. Applications:

• Industrial Safety: Commonly used in workplaces where ammonia is handled, such as refrigeration facilities, chemical manufacturing plants, and agricultural settings where ammonia-based fertilizers are used.

• Environmental Monitoring: Useful for measuring ammonia levels in ambient air, ensuring that workplace or environmental ammonia concentrations do not exceed safe exposure limits.

• Compliance and Safety Standards: Ensures adherence to workplace safety regulations and helps in the assessment of potential exposure risks to ammonia.

7. Packaging:

• The product is sold in packs containing 10 tubes, allowing for multiple tests or ongoing monitoring with one purchase.

8. Key Features:

• Portable and Simple: Easy to carry and use in the field.

• Immediate Results: Instant colorimetric readings that do not require additional equipment or complex calculations.

• Cost-Effective: A reliable and affordable solution for periodic ammonia monitoring.

• High Accuracy: Provides precise readings within the specified range, offering confidence in the results.

9. Manufacturer:

• Draeger is known for producing high-quality safety and medical equipment, with a reputation for reliability in gas detection and safety monitoring systems worldwide.
