Description
The Draeger Tube Trichloroethylene 50/a (10) is a specific type of gas detection tube used for measuring the concentration of Trichloroethylene (TCE) in the air. TCE is an industrial solvent commonly used in degreasing, cleaning, and as an intermediate chemical in manufacturing processes. This product is designed for use with Draeger gas detection systems, which are widely used in industrial and environmental safety applications.
Product Features:
-
Type of Tube: Short-term detection tube specifically designed to detect Trichloroethylene.
-
Detection Range: The tube provides a measurement range for Trichloroethylene concentration in the air, typically 50 parts per million (ppm).
-
Sensitivity: The detection range is designed for a detection limit that ensures accurate and reliable readings.
-
Calibration: Typically calibrated for a 10-minute sampling period, with the measurement being reliable within that time frame. The "(10)" may refer to this time duration.
-
Usage: These tubes are used with Draeger gas detection pumps (e.g., Draeger Accuro or Draeger 2000) to collect air samples and determine the concentration of Trichloroethylene.
-
Application: Commonly used in industrial, laboratory, and environmental monitoring settings where exposure to Trichloroethylene needs to be measured and controlled.
-
Safety: These tubes are a part of a broader safety protocol for detecting hazardous chemicals and ensuring worker safety, especially in environments where chemicals like Trichloroethylene are in use.
General Instructions:
-
Preparation: The Draeger tube should be connected to a Draeger gas detection pump.
-
Sampling: Use the pump to draw air through the tube over the specified time period.
-
Result Interpretation: After the air sample has been drawn, the tube will change color in response to the concentration of Trichloroethylene. The color change corresponds to the level of exposure.
-
Calibration: It's crucial to ensure the equipment is properly calibrated for accurate results.
Benefits:
-
Fast and reliable: Provides real-time results, making it suitable for immediate safety assessments.
-
Cost-effective: Ideal for periodic monitoring without requiring expensive, continuous monitoring equipment.
-
Ease of use: Simple to operate, requiring minimal training for operators.
