Description
The Draeger Tube Carbon Tetrachloride 0.1/a (10) is a gas detection tube specifically designed to detect Carbon Tetrachloride (CCl₄) in the air. These tubes are used with a Draeger pump for precise measurement and analysis of airborne concentrations of Carbon Tetrachloride.
Product Details:
-
Type: Draeger gas detection tube for Carbon Tetrachloride.
-
Detection Range: The tube measures concentrations of Carbon Tetrachloride in the range of 0.1 ppm (parts per million). The tube has a maximum capacity of 10 ppm.
-
Measurement Principle: The tube works on a colorimetric principle where a chemical reagent inside the tube reacts with the gas. As Carbon Tetrachloride is drawn through the tube, a color change occurs, and the concentration of the gas is indicated by the length of the color change within the tube.
-
Use: Typically used in industrial or laboratory environments to monitor the presence of Carbon Tetrachloride, which can be toxic and is a potent carcinogen.
-
Application: Common in environments where Carbon Tetrachloride might be used or produced, such as chemical manufacturing, laboratories, or industrial hygiene assessments.
Features:
-
Accuracy: The Draeger tubes provide high accuracy in detecting low concentrations of Carbon Tetrachloride, which is essential for ensuring worker safety.
-
Ease of Use: The tubes are easy to use with Draeger’s hand pump, which allows for precise sampling.
-
Compact and Portable: These tubes are small and portable, allowing for on-site measurements without the need for complex equipment.
-
Rapid Results: The color change provides almost immediate results, making it efficient for field testing.
Safety Considerations:
-
Carbon Tetrachloride is a hazardous substance that should be handled with caution. Exposure to high concentrations can lead to serious health issues like liver damage, respiratory issues, and other long-term effects.
Usage Instructions:
-
Insert the Draeger Tube into the hand pump.
-
Draw the air sample through the tube by pumping the hand pump.
-
Read the results by observing the color change in the tube.
-
Compare the color change to a calibrated scale on the tube to determine the concentration of Carbon Tetrachloride.
