Tube Hydrogen Flouride 0.5/a (10) | Draeger

The Draeger Tube Hydrogen Fluoride 0.5/a (10) is a detection tube designed for the measurement of hydrogen fluoride (HF) concentrations in air. Draeger tubes are widely used for gas detection in industrial settings, particularly where there is a risk of exposure to hazardous chemicals like HF.

Product Features:

• Detection Range: 0.5 – 10 ppm (parts per million) of hydrogen fluoride (HF).

• Method: The tubes contain a reagent that reacts with the gas (HF) to produce a color change, allowing for visual detection and semi-quantitative measurement of the gas concentration.

• Measurement Duration: The reaction time is typically a few minutes (depending on conditions).

• Application: Primarily used in environments where HF is a concern, such as chemical processing, aluminum production, or laboratories dealing with HF-containing compounds.

• Ease of Use: The tube can be inserted into a Draeger pump (usually a manual or battery-operated pump) which is used to draw a known volume of air through the tube. The resulting color change is then compared to a calibrated scale printed on the tube to estimate the HF concentration.

• Size and Quantity: The tube is typically sold in packs of 10 tubes.

Usage:

• Safety: Hydrogen fluoride is a highly corrosive and toxic gas, making it crucial to monitor its concentration in work environments to ensure worker safety.

• Precautions: Protective gear, including gloves and goggles, should be worn when using the Draeger tubes to avoid exposure to HF during the testing process.
