Tube Carbon Pre-Tube (10) | Draeger

The Tube Carbon Pre-Tube (10) is a specific type of gas detection tube produced by Draeger, a leading manufacturer in safety and gas detection equipment. These tubes are used in Draeger's colorimetric tube systems, which are commonly employed for rapid on-site detection of various gases and vapors in environments where precision in air quality monitoring is crucial.

Description:

• Purpose:
  The Tube Carbon Pre-Tube (10) is designed to detect and measure the concentration of certain gases or vapors, typically in air, with a focus on carbon compounds. These tubes are essential in environments like industrial workplaces, chemical plants, laboratories, and any other areas where gas exposure could be a concern. The Pre-Tube specifically aids in pre-filtering or purifying the sample air before it enters the main detection tube.

• Technology:
  The carbon-based pre-tube is usually part of Draeger's colorimetric detection system. This system involves the use of chemical reagents inside the tube that react with gases, causing a color change that can be visually interpreted. The Pre-Tube functions by capturing contaminants or particles in the air sample that could otherwise interfere with the readings in the main detection tube.

• Size & Format:
  The Pre-Tube (10) is typically sold in packs of 10 units. Each tube is compact and easy to use with Draeger's hand-held or portable gas detection pumps. The number "10" refers to the quantity of tubes in the pack, providing a set of samples for multiple measurements.

• Application:
  This tube is primarily used in conjunction with Draeger's Dräger-Tubes™ for pre-treating the air sample. It is often used when monitoring industrial environments for gases like carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), or volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It's also a common choice for emergency response scenarios where detecting potentially hazardous airborne substances is necessary.

• Ease of Use:
  As with other Draeger tubes, the Tube Carbon Pre-Tube (10) is simple to use with the company's hand pumps, which allow air to be drawn through the tube. The user can then monitor the color change and interpret the gas concentration based on the extent of the color shift. This quick and easy process allows for on-site gas analysis without needing complex or expensive equipment.

• Calibration:
  Draeger gas detection tubes are calibrated to provide accurate measurements across a range of concentrations. The Pre-Tube works in tandem with other Draeger colorimetric tubes, ensuring reliable results when assessing the presence of specific gases.

Features & Benefits:

1. Pre-filtering: Helps in purifying air samples before they enter the main detection tube, ensuring accurate readings.

2. Compact & Portable: Easy to use in various field environments with Draeger’s portable detection pumps.

3. Wide Range of Applications: Suitable for industrial, environmental, and laboratory settings.

4. Quick Response: Immediate and visible results through the colorimetric reaction.

Common Gases Detected:

• Carbon Monoxide (CO)

• Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S)

• Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

• Other hydrocarbon gases

Important Considerations:

• Storage: Store the tubes in a cool, dry place to prevent degradation of the chemical reagents inside.

• Expiration: Always check the expiration date to ensure the tubes' reliability and accuracy.

• Safety: Use appropriate protective equipment when handling gases or working in hazardous environments.

This product is ideal for businesses and organizations that need to ensure workplace safety by monitoring air quality and the presence of toxic or harmful gases. Draeger provides other specialized tubes for different gases, and the Pre-Tube (10) is typically used as an accessory to improve the reliability of readings.
