Tube H2S + SO2 0.2%/A (10) | Draeger

Key Features:

1. Dual Detection:

   • This detection tube is designed to measure both Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) concentrations in the air.

   • The 0.2% likely refers to the maximum concentration of each gas that the tube can measure, giving an indication of its sensitivity and the measurement range.

2. High Sensitivity:

   • The tubes are designed to detect low levels of these gases in ambient air, with a typical scale that allows precise measurements of hazardous concentrations.

3. Chemical Reaction Process:

   • Dräger gas detection tubes operate based on a colorimetric reaction, where the gas in question reacts with a reagent inside the tube, causing a color change. The length of the color change correlates to the concentration of the target gas, and users can then read off the result.

4. Simple Usage:

   • The tubes are part of a Dräger tube system, typically used in combination with a Dräger pump (like the Dräger Accuro or Dräger X-am 5000). By manually pulling a sample of air through the tube, the reaction is initiated, and results can be read off directly.

5. Range and Application:

   • The 0.2% concentration indicates the tube's capability to detect the presence of gases at relatively high concentrations, which may be required in industrial environments such as:

     • Oil and gas refineries

     • Chemical plants

     • Wastewater treatment facilities

     • Environmental monitoring

   • Ideal for applications where monitoring of potentially hazardous levels of H2S (which is toxic and flammable) and SO2 (which can cause respiratory issues) is essential.

6. Durability and Shelf Life:

   • Dräger tubes are known for their long shelf life and ability to withstand challenging environments, maintaining accuracy even after extended periods.

7. Fast Results:

   • The reaction happens quickly, often in under a minute, providing near-instantaneous results which can be critical in emergency response or ongoing monitoring situations.

Typical Applications:

• Occupational Safety: Ensuring that employees are not exposed to unsafe levels of H2S or SO2 in industries such as petrochemical, mining, and wastewater management.

• Environmental Monitoring: Measuring emissions from industrial processes and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.

• Safety in Hazardous Areas: Useful in confined spaces or locations with potential gas leaks, where the presence of these gases could pose significant risks to health and safety.

Technical Specifications (Generalized for Dräger Tubes):

• Tube Type: Colorimetric detection tube

• Gas Type: Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)

• Concentration Range: Typically 0-100 ppm, or 0-0.2% depending on the model

• Detection Method: Color change due to chemical reaction inside the tube

• Shelf Life: 2-3 years (depending on storage conditions)

• Response Time: Generally under 1 minute for most Dräger tubes

• Temperature and Humidity Range: Often designed to operate in a variety of environmental conditions, though you should refer to specific tube instructions for optimal ranges.

Important Notes:

• Storage: Store the tubes in a cool, dry place and keep them sealed in their original packaging until use.

• Safety: When using gas detection tubes, proper safety precautions should be followed, especially when dealing with toxic or flammable gases.

• Calibration: Periodically calibrate your Dräger pump and ensure that the tubes haven’t expired for the most accurate results.
