Tube Phenol 1/b (10) | Draeger

Product Overview

• Product Type: Draeger Tubes for Gas Detection

• Target Gas/Vapor: Phenol

• Measuring Range: 1/b (10) — The specific concentration range will vary, but this typically refers to a calibration of 1 to 10 parts per million (ppm) of phenol in air. The exact range might be available in the product datasheet.

• Tube Type: Colorimetric tube (reaction-based)

• Test Duration: Usually very quick, in the range of a few minutes.

• Packaging: Typically sold in boxes of 10 tubes.

Features

1. Accurate Detection: Draeger tubes provide precise readings, allowing users to accurately detect phenol concentrations in air.

2. Easy to Use: Requires a Draeger pump to draw a specific volume of air through the tube, where the chemical reaction with phenol causes a color change. The degree of color change correlates to the concentration of phenol.

3. Portable and Compact: Convenient for field use, making them suitable for industries like chemical manufacturing, waste management, or environmental monitoring.

4. Reliable and Safe: Draeger tubes are known for their reliability in detecting specific gases without requiring calibration or complicated equipment.

Application

• Industry: Used in various industries, including chemical plants, laboratories, environmental monitoring, or wherever phenol may be used or emitted.

• Health & Safety: Helps ensure safe working conditions by monitoring hazardous phenol levels in air. Exposure to high levels of phenol can be harmful, so monitoring is crucial.

How it Works

1. Air Sample Collection: The Draeger pump is used to pull air through the tube.

2. Chemical Reaction: As the air passes through the tube, phenol reacts with the chemicals inside the tube, causing a color change.

3. Result Interpretation: The length of the color change inside the tube is compared against the calibration scale printed on the tube, indicating the concentration of phenol in the air.

Safety Information

• Phenol is a toxic and potentially carcinogenic compound, so proper safety precautions must be followed when using this tube.

• The tubes should be handled carefully, and protective gear (gloves, goggles, etc.) is recommended.

Additional Information

• Expiration Date: Always check the expiration date on the box, as the chemical reagents inside the tubes can degrade over time.

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to ensure the accuracy of readings.
