Description
The Draeger Tube Nitrogen Dioxide (NO₂) 0.1/a (10) is a gas detection tube designed for the measurement of Nitrogen Dioxide (NO₂) in the air.
Product Description:
-
Gas Type: Nitrogen Dioxide (NO₂)
-
Detection Range: 0.1 parts per million (ppm) (0.1/a) over a sample volume
-
Measurement Time: Typically takes around 5 minutes to measure the concentration accurately.
-
Quantity: Each tube contains 10 individual measurements or uses.
-
Working Principle: The tube contains a reagent that reacts with NO₂ in the air, changing color. The color change is directly proportional to the concentration of NO₂, which can then be read on a scale on the tube.
-
Application: Ideal for detecting and measuring the concentration of Nitrogen Dioxide in industrial environments, laboratories, work areas where combustion gases are present, and other areas of concern where NO₂ exposure might occur.
-
Usage: Often used with a Draeger pump to draw air through the tube for measurement.
Features:
-
Easy-to-Use: Simple, fast, and reliable measurement.
-
Portable: Compact, lightweight design for use in the field.
-
High Accuracy: Provides a precise measurement of NO₂ concentration.
-
Wide Range of Applications: Used in environmental monitoring, industrial hygiene, and other areas requiring NO₂ measurement.
-
No Calibration Required: Draeger tubes are pre-calibrated, making them easy to use without needing complex setup or recalibration.
Typical Applications:
-
Monitoring nitrogen dioxide concentrations in:
-
Industrial sites (e.g., manufacturing facilities)
-
Traffic-heavy areas (e.g., near highways, roads)
-
Laboratories
-
Environmental studies
-
Additional Notes:
-
Safety: Always ensure that measurements are taken in well-ventilated areas and follow all recommended safety protocols to prevent exposure to harmful concentrations of NO₂.
-
Shelf Life: Draeger tubes typically have a shelf life of 2–3 years, but this can vary based on storage conditions.
