Tube Methylene Chloride 20/a (10) | Draeger

The Draeger Tube Methylene Chloride 20/a (10) is a chemical detection tube used for measuring the concentration of Methylene Chloride (also known as Dichloromethane, DCM) in air. These tubes are designed for quick, on-site detection and are typically used in industrial and laboratory settings to monitor the presence of Methylene Chloride, a volatile organic compound commonly used as a solvent.

Product Details:

• Chemical Detected: Methylene Chloride (Dichloromethane, DCM)

• Detection Range: 20 ppm to 500 ppm (parts per million) of Methylene Chloride in air.

• Tube Type: 20/a (This is a specific type of detection tube designed by Draeger for Methylene Chloride)

• Method of Detection: The tube uses a colorimetric method. The Methylene Chloride reacts with a reagent inside the tube, causing a visible color change that can be compared against a calibration chart to determine the concentration.

• Sampling Volume: Typically, a certain volume of air (often 1000 ml) is drawn through the tube for detection, and the length of the color change is then compared with the scale on the tube.

• Quantity: The package typically contains 10 individual tubes, suitable for multiple tests.

• Precision: These tubes offer high precision and accuracy for detecting low to medium concentrations of Methylene Chloride.

• Application: Commonly used in industrial hygiene, environmental monitoring, chemical manufacturing, and laboratory settings where Methylene Chloride may be present.

Benefits:

• Rapid Results: The Draeger tube provides quick results, typically within minutes.

• Easy to Use: The tube is compatible with Draeger pumps, which make the sampling process straightforward for users without requiring complex instrumentation.

• Portable: Compact and portable, making it ideal for field testing.

• Cost-effective: A relatively low-cost solution compared to more advanced, continuous monitoring systems.

Safety and Handling:

• Methylene Chloride is a hazardous substance, and exposure can be harmful to human health, so proper safety precautions should be followed when using this product.

• Always use the Draeger tubes with Draeger pumps as recommended and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for safe operation.
