Tube Carbon Disulfide 3/a (10) | Draeger

The Draeger Tube Carbon Disulfide 3/a (10) is a detection tube designed for measuring carbon disulfide (CS₂) concentrations in the air. Draeger is known for its high-quality, accurate detection tubes used in industrial and environmental safety applications.

Key Features:

1. Detection Range: The 3/a (10) tube is calibrated for a specific concentration range, usually between 0.5 to 20 ppm of carbon disulfide, depending on the tube's design and specific model.

2. Method: The tube uses a colorimetric detection method, where the air sample is drawn through the tube using a Draeger sampling pump. The reaction between the air sample and the reagent in the tube produces a color change, which correlates to the concentration of carbon disulfide in the air.

3. Applications: This product is commonly used in workplaces or environments where carbon disulfide may be present, such as in the manufacturing of rayon, cellophane, or other synthetic fibers. It can also be used in laboratories or industrial sites for monitoring gas levels to ensure safe working conditions.

4. Ease of Use: The tube is designed for easy handling and quick, on-site measurement. Users can see the concentration levels almost immediately after the sample is drawn through the tube.

5. 10 Tubes per Box: Each box contains 10 tubes, allowing for multiple measurements to be taken for either monitoring trends or ensuring air quality over time.

How It Works:

1. A sample of air is drawn through the detection tube using a Draeger pump (such as the Draeger Accuro).

2. The carbon disulfide in the air reacts with the chemicals inside the tube, causing a visible color change.

3. The length of the color change is compared to a calibration chart to determine the concentration of carbon disulfide.

Benefits:

• Accurate, real-time results for environmental monitoring.

• Compact and portable, ideal for field use.

• Easy-to-read color changes simplify interpretation.
