Tube Mercaptan 20/a (10) | Draeger

The Tube Mercaptan 20/a (10) by Draeger is a type of gas detection tube designed to detect mercaptans in the air. Mercaptans are sulfur compounds, often used as odorants in natural gas and other industrial applications. These tubes are used in safety and monitoring systems to measure the presence and concentration of mercaptans in various environments, especially in industries where detecting gas leaks or ensuring air quality is critical.

Product Details:

• Product Name: Tube Mercaptan 20/a (10) | Draeger

• Purpose: Detection of mercaptans (sulfur compounds) in air or gases.

• Measurement Range: Typically, these tubes provide a range in parts per million (ppm) for mercaptan detection. The "20/a" designation refers to the specific type of mercaptan compound being detected and its sensitivity.

• Number of Tubes: The product name "10" likely refers to a pack of 10 tubes.

• Detection Principle: Draeger detection tubes use a color change method. When a gas sample is drawn through the tube, the chemicals inside react with mercaptans, causing a color change. The length of the color change is proportional to the concentration of the gas being detected.

• Application: Commonly used in industries like natural gas, oil, and chemical industries, where mercaptans are added to gases like methane to give them a distinctive odor for leak detection.

• Compatibility: This tube is used with a Draeger gas detection pump, which draws a specific volume of air through the tube for analysis.

Additional Features:

• Ease of Use: Draeger's gas detection tubes are designed for easy, quick, and accurate detection. The tubes come pre-calibrated for specific substances.

• Safety: These tubes help in ensuring workplace safety by monitoring harmful or dangerous gas levels in the environment.
