Tube Benzene 2/a (5) | Draeger

Product Type: Gas Detection Tube
Tube Type: 2/a
Detection Range: 5 ppm (parts per million)
Target Gas: Benzene (C₆H₆)
Measurement Principle: Colorimetric Method

Function:

Draeger detection tubes are used for quickly measuring and monitoring specific gases in the air. The Benzene 2/a (5) tube is designed to detect the presence of Benzene at concentrations in the air, typically in the range of 0.5 to 50 ppm (depending on the exact tube specifications). This tube uses a colorimetric reaction, where a chemical reagent inside the tube reacts with Benzene, changing color to indicate the concentration of the gas.

Key Features:

• Precise Benzene Detection: Measures Benzene concentrations in the air, often used in industrial settings, laboratories, or environmental monitoring.

• Fast and Simple Operation: Gas is drawn through the tube using a Draeger pump (usually a manual pump or a syringe-like device). The reaction inside the tube causes a visible color change that correlates with the concentration of Benzene in the sample.

• Portable and Lightweight: The tubes are compact and can be easily used in the field.

• No Calibration Needed: Detection tubes offer an easy-to-use method of gas detection without the need for complicated calibration procedures.

Applications:

• Industrial Safety: Used in environments where Benzene exposure may occur, such as chemical plants, laboratories, or manufacturing areas.

• Environmental Monitoring: Can be used to detect Benzene in ambient air, especially in areas near hazardous industrial sites or petrochemical refineries.

• Occupational Health: Helps monitor Benzene levels in workplaces where workers may be exposed to this carcinogenic compound.

Technical Specifications (Typical for Draeger Benzene Tubes):

• Detection Range: 0.5 to 50 ppm (depending on the tube version)

• Resolution: Typically, tubes have a resolution of 1-2 ppm.

• Measurement Time: Usually 1 to 3 minutes, depending on airflow and concentration.

• Shelf Life: Typically 1-2 years (check the specific product's expiration date).
