Tube Hydrogen Sulfide 2%/a (10) | Draeger

The Dräger Tube for Hydrogen Sulfide 2%/a (10) is a colorimetric detection tube used for the measurement of hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) gas concentrations in air. It is designed to be used with Dräger's gas detection pumps or other compatible instruments, offering a simple and reliable way to assess the presence of hydrogen sulfide in various industrial and environmental settings.

Key Product Details:

• Tube Type: Dräger Colorimetric Detection Tube

  • The tube utilizes a color change reaction to detect the presence of hydrogen sulfide in the air.

  • Inside the tube is a reagent that reacts with hydrogen sulfide. The intensity of the color change correlates with the concentration of H₂S gas in the sample air.

• Detection Range: 2% (2,000 ppm)

  • The tube is calibrated to detect hydrogen sulfide concentrations from 0 to 2% (or 0 to 2,000 ppm).

  • This wide range makes it suitable for environments where high concentrations of H₂S might be present, such as in the oil and gas industry, petrochemical plants, sewage treatment facilities, and chemical manufacturing plants.

• Quantity in Pack: 10 tubes per pack

  • The product typically comes with a set of 10 individual tubes per pack, allowing for multiple uses or tests in a given period.

• Activation Process:

  • To activate the tube, air is drawn through the tube using a Dräger hand pump (or similar compatible device).

  • The chemical reaction inside the tube causes a visible color change in response to the concentration of hydrogen sulfide in the air.

  • The length of the color change is then compared against the calibration scale provided on the tube packaging to determine the concentration of H₂S.

• Applications:

  • Industrial Settings: Especially useful for industries where hydrogen sulfide is a concern, such as oil refining, natural gas processing, and sewage and wastewater treatment.

  • Environmental Monitoring: To monitor air quality in locations where H₂S could pose a risk to workers or nearby populations.

  • Laboratories: Used in scientific research and process control environments where precise measurements of H₂S concentrations are required.

• Performance:

  • The Dräger tubes offer quick results with clear color changes, which make it easy to interpret the readings.

  • The tubes are designed for reliable performance, offering accurate and precise measurements of hydrogen sulfide gas concentrations.

  • The color change can range from a light yellow to dark brown or black, with the extent of the color change corresponding directly to the concentration of the gas.

• Shelf Life:

  • The shelf life of these tubes is typically around 2-3 years when stored in a cool, dry place and kept away from light and humidity. It is important to check the expiration date on the packaging to ensure the tubes' accuracy and reliability.

• Safety Notes:

  • Hydrogen sulfide is a highly toxic and flammable gas, even in relatively low concentrations, so it is important to handle these detection tubes carefully and follow all safety procedures when using them.

  • Dräger tubes are for single-use only and should be disposed of according to local safety and waste disposal regulations after use.

  • The Dräger hand pump or any associated equipment should be used as directed for accurate readings.

Additional Features:

• Portable and Easy to Use: Dräger colorimetric tubes are compact and easy to handle, making them ideal for field testing and in-situ measurements.

• No Calibration Needed: Since the tubes come pre-calibrated, they do not require any additional calibration or preparation before use.
