Tube Chlorine Dioxide 0,025/a (10) | Draeger

The Chlorine Dioxide 0.025/a (10) Tube by Draeger is typically a chemical detection tube used in conjunction with Draeger gas detection systems, specifically designed for measuring the concentration of chlorine dioxide (ClO₂) in the air.

Tube Type:

Short-Term Detection Tube (often referred to as a Dräger Tube)

Concentration Range:

• 0.025/a – This indicates the concentration of chlorine dioxide the tube is designed to measure. The “0.025” refers to the level of chlorine dioxide that can be detected in the air (usually in parts per million, ppm), and "a" may refer to a specific calibration or type of tube.

• (10) – This typically refers to the number of measurements or the duration of the detection capability. In this case, it might indicate that each tube can measure up to 10 readings or has a specified operational time.

Purpose:

This type of tube is used to measure the concentration of chlorine dioxide in various environments, such as industrial settings, laboratories, or air quality monitoring systems. Chlorine dioxide is a potent oxidizing agent used in water treatment, disinfection, and in some industrial processes. The tube provides a way to monitor exposure levels to ensure safety and regulatory compliance.

Detection Method:

• The tube works on the colorimetric principle, meaning that as chlorine dioxide reacts with the chemicals inside the tube, the tube changes color. The degree of color change correlates to the concentration of chlorine dioxide present in the air. The color change is then compared to a color scale provided with the tube to quantify the concentration.

Applications:

• Air Quality Monitoring: Used for monitoring chlorine dioxide levels in air to prevent harmful exposure, particularly in settings like water treatment plants, paper mills, or other industries where chlorine dioxide is used.

• Workplace Safety: Used by occupational health and safety personnel to monitor the exposure levels of workers to chlorine dioxide gas.

Typical Features:

• Ease of Use: Simply insert the tube into the Draeger gas detection pump, draw a sample of air through the tube, and observe the color change.

• Fast and Reliable: Provides quick results, typically within a few minutes.

• No Need for Calibration: Most Dräger tubes are pre-calibrated for specific gases, making them easy to use without needing additional equipment.

Packaging:

• The "10" could also indicate a pack of 10 tubes, allowing for multiple uses.
