Tube Mercaptan 0.1/a (10) | Draeger

The Tube Mercaptan 0.1/a (10) from Draeger is a chemical detection tube specifically designed for the measurement of mercaptan (also known as thiol) concentrations in the air. It is commonly used for detecting low levels of mercaptans, which are sulfur compounds often present in natural gas, industrial processes, or as odorants.

Key Features:

• Mercaptan Detection: This tube is calibrated to measure the concentration of mercaptans, which are typically present in low concentrations and can have a strong, unpleasant odor.

• Measurement Range: The detection range of this tube is typically from 0.1 to 10 ppm (parts per million), allowing it to measure both low and high levels of mercaptans in the environment.

• Type of Tube: It is a Dräger-Tube®, which is a type of colorimetric tube. The reaction of mercaptan with the chemicals inside the tube produces a color change that corresponds to the concentration of the substance being measured.

• Easy to Use: The tubes are designed for use with Draeger's Accuro® Hand Pump or similar pump systems. By drawing a specific volume of air through the tube, users can measure the concentration based on the color change.

• 10 Tubes per Box: The product comes in a box containing 10 individual tubes for repeated use or testing.

Application Areas:

• Natural Gas Industry: To detect and measure mercaptans, which are commonly added to natural gas as odorants to help detect leaks.

• Chemical Plants: Used to monitor the presence of mercaptans in chemical processing environments.

• Environmental Monitoring: It can be used in environmental health and safety applications to monitor for potentially harmful substances.
