Tube Ammonia 5/b (10) | Draeger

The Draeger Tube Ammonia 5/b (10) is a specific type of chemical detection tube designed for the measurement of ammonia (NH₃) concentrations in air. These detection tubes are part of Draeger’s gas detection products, which are known for their accuracy and reliability in detecting hazardous substances.

Key Features:

• Chemical Detection: Designed to detect ammonia (NH₃) levels in the air.

• Range: The 5/b (10) tube has a specific range for ammonia detection, typically from 0.5 to 30 ppm (parts per million), but always refer to the exact specifications for your model.

• Tube Type: Colorimetric detection tube, meaning the reaction between ammonia and the chemicals in the tube changes the color, providing a visual indication of the concentration present.

• Simple and Quick Measurement: The user can perform tests quickly with minimal training. No special calibration is required beyond standard use procedures.

• Compatibility: The tube can be used with Draeger pump systems or other compatible air sampling pumps.

Usage:

These detection tubes are typically used in environments where ammonia is likely to be present, such as:

• Industrial settings: Chemical plants, refrigeration facilities, and agricultural environments.

• Occupational health and safety: For routine air quality monitoring in workplaces where ammonia exposure is a concern.

• Emergency response: Detecting ammonia leaks or spills in hazardous environments.

Operational Notes:

• The tube is used by pulling a sample of air through the tube with a manual or motorized pump.

• The presence of ammonia causes a chemical reaction in the tube, which results in a color change. The intensity of the color is compared against a scale provided with the product, giving the user a reading of ammonia concentration.

• These tubes are designed for short-term, qualitative analysis of gases, making them particularly useful for spot checks or when a portable solution is needed.
