Tube Hydrogen Sulfide 0.2/a (10) | Draeger

• Gas to Detect: Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S)

• Detection Range:

  • Lower detection limit: 0.2 ppm (parts per million)

  • Upper detection limit: 10 ppm

• Principle of Detection:

  • Colorimetric method (gas reacts with the reagent in the tube to change color)

• Sampling Time:

  • Typically, the detection tubes require 1 to 5 minutes of sampling, depending on airflow and concentration.

• Type of Tube:

  • Short-term measurement (single-use)

  • Typically used with Draeger pumps, such as the Draeger Accuro pump or Draeger Polytron pump.

• Measuring Accuracy:

  • Generally within ±10% for the given concentration.

• Shelf Life:

  • Depending on storage conditions, usually 2 to 3 years.

  • Ensure tubes are stored in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.

• Tube Volume:

  • Typically around 5-10 mL of reagent inside the tube.

• Temperature Range:

  • Typically functional in a range of 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F).

• Humidity Range:

  • Most tubes are designed to work within 30% to 90% relative humidity.

• Tube Dimensions:

  • Around 12 cm long with a diameter of about 1 cm.

Safety and Handling

• Always follow the manufacturer's safety instructions when handling and disposing of used tubes.

• Toxicity of H₂S: Hydrogen Sulfide is highly toxic and can cause serious health effects. Ensure proper ventilation and wear appropriate PPE (personal protective equipment) when using.

Applications

• Workplace safety in industries like:

  • Petroleum and gas

  • Chemical manufacturing

  • Wastewater treatment

  • Mining

• Environmental monitoring to assess H₂S levels in outdoor air or industrial exhaust.

Advantages

• Portable and easy to use with Draeger pumps.

• Immediate results through the color change in the tube, no need for complex equipment.

• Precise detection for H₂S, helping to ensure compliance with occupational health and safety regulations.
