Tube Chlorine 0.2/a (10) | Draeger

Product Overview:

• Chlorine Gas Detection: This tube is specifically designed to detect chlorine (Cl₂) gas in the air. Chlorine is a toxic, corrosive gas commonly used in various industrial processes, including water treatment, chemical production, and in disinfectants.

• Concentration Range: The "0.2/a" part likely refers to the concentration range of chlorine that can be measured by the tube, which is 0.2 ppm (parts per million). This means the tube can detect chlorine gas in very low concentrations, making it ideal for both industrial and environmental safety monitoring.

• Scale: The number "(10)" refers to the number of tubes in the package. So, you would receive 10 individual gas detection tubes when purchasing this item. These tubes are typically single-use, disposable devices designed for quick measurements.

Key Features:

1. High Sensitivity: The tube is capable of detecting chlorine in the range of 0.2 ppm, which is useful for monitoring air quality and ensuring that chlorine levels stay within safe limits.

2. Easy to Use: Dräger’s gas detection tubes are often part of a larger detection system, including a pump that draws a sample of air through the tube. The tube changes color based on the concentration of chlorine in the air, with the color change being directly correlated to the concentration of the gas.

3. Time- and Cost-Effective: The use of these tubes provides a quick, simple method for monitoring chlorine levels without requiring a complex electronic gas detector. It’s a convenient and relatively inexpensive option for spot-checking.

4. Application: These tubes are typically used in:

   • Industrial environments (chemical plants, water treatment facilities, etc.)

   • Safety checks for chlorine leaks or exposure in the workplace

   • Environmental monitoring for air quality

   • Emergency response situations involving chlorine exposure

Applications:

• Occupational Safety: Used to monitor potential chlorine exposure in industrial settings, ensuring that concentrations stay within safe levels (typically below 1 ppm for continuous exposure in workplaces).

• Environmental Monitoring: Useful for detecting chlorine leaks in places like water treatment facilities or chemical plants.

• Emergency Response: Can be used to quickly assess chlorine gas leaks during hazardous material spills or accidents.

This type of gas detection is often a first line of defense for industries where chlorine is used, providing quick and simple results for immediate action if high chlorine concentrations are detected.

Conclusion:

The Dräger Chlorine 0.2/a (10) gas detection tubes provide a reliable and straightforward method for monitoring chlorine gas in environments where it poses a safety risk. These tubes are ideal for a variety of industrial, environmental, and emergency applications.
