Tube - Xylene 10/a (10) | Draeger

This product is part of the short-term, spot-measurement detection tube system. The “10/a” version is specifically developed for detecting and estimating concentrations of xylene vapours in air. The pack contains 10 tubes. According to listings, the measurement range is 10 to 400 ppm.

Key Specifications

• Measurement range: ~10 to 400 ppm for xylene.

• Pack size: 10 tubes per box.

• Reaction principle / colour change: The reagent inside the tube reacts with xylene and produces a colour change (typically from white to red brown) which indicates the concentration lengthwise.

• Operating ambient conditions: Temperature range from approx. 0 °C (or 5 °C) up to ~40 °C, humidity 3-15 mg H₂O/L typical.

• Number of strokes (pump pulls): Typically ~5 strokes for this tube.

• Application: Spot measurement of xylene vapour in occupational settings, peaks in inhalation zone, leak detection, confined-space pre-entry checks.

Typical Applications

• Monitoring workplaces where xylene (and its isomers) may be present — e.g., coatings, adhesives, printing, petrochemical environments.

• Checking breathing-zone exposures of personnel to xylene vapours.

• Pre-entry checks for xylene contamination in tanks, sewers, shafts or similar confined spaces.

• Quick, on-the-spot screening rather than full lab gas analysis.
