Description
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.
