Tube Phosphine 0.01/a (10) | Draeger

Product Overview:

• Chemical Measured: Phosphine (PH₃)

• Detection Range: 0.01 - 1.0 ppm (parts per million)

• Tube Type: Draeger Detection Tube

• Quantity per Box: 10 tubes per box (hence the "10" in the name)

• Measurement Method: The tube contains a reagent that changes color in the presence of phosphine gas. The intensity of the color change correlates to the concentration of the gas.

• Color Change: The tube will typically show a color shift (e.g., from clear to yellowish or brown) when exposed to phosphine, indicating its presence.

• Application: Used in workplaces, laboratories, or any areas where phosphine gas might be a risk (e.g., agricultural, industrial, or fumigation settings).

Key Features:

1. Accuracy: Designed for precise detection of low concentrations of phosphine (as low as 0.01 ppm).

2. Fast Response: Typically provides results in a short amount of time, often within minutes, depending on the specific conditions.

3. Ease of Use: The Draeger detection tubes are known for their simplicity. To use, you would break the ends of the tube, insert it into a Draeger pump, and manually draw air through the tube.

4. High Sensitivity: Useful for environments where phosphine levels are low but still need to be carefully monitored due to toxicity.

Common Applications:

• Fumigation: Phosphine is used as a fumigant in pest control for grains and other food products.

• Industrial Monitoring: In facilities where phosphine is used or produced as part of the manufacturing process.

• Occupational Health: For monitoring air quality and ensuring worker safety in environments where phosphine exposure is a risk.

Product Usage:

• Procedure:

  1. Attach the Draeger tube to the Draeger pump.

  2. Break the ends of the tube to allow air to pass through.

  3. Draw a specific volume of air (based on the pump's design).

  4. The tube will change color based on the concentration of phosphine present.

  5. Compare the color change to a calibration chart or scale provided with the product to determine the phosphine concentration.

Safety Notes:

• Phosphine is highly toxic even at low concentrations, so appropriate safety measures should be taken when using the detection tubes.

• Always follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure proper use and accurate readings.
