Gas Detector Tubes

When it comes to gas detection, safety is non-negotiable. Whether you're working in industrial settings, labs, or confined spaces, knowing which gas detection tool best suits your needs is crucial. Two common options are colorimetric tubes and electronic gas detectors. Let’s break down the differences and help you decide which tool is right for you. Colorimetric Tubes: Simplicity and…

It certainly helps to know what you’re doing but you don’t need a chemistry degree to use gas detector tubes or read the results. These gas detector tubes can help identify the presence of gases – toxic or nontoxic – and ensure safety in all sorts of environments. Draeger has been a champion of personal protection and gas detection for over a century. And their Draeger tubes are no…

Gas Detector Tubes: Glass tubes that have graduating scales printed on them. You can directly read the concentrations of the gas or vapor to be measured based on the color change of the scale. The color change is achieved because the tube contains a detaching reagent that is sensitive to the target substance. No color chart is needed. There are different variations of the Gas Detector Tube: Most…

A gas detector tube is a glass tube that is filled with a reagent that creates a color change when exposed to the gas that is being tested. The detector tube will indicate the concentration of gas by the printed calibration scale on the tube. They are typically used with a hand pump that will pull any gas that is in the air into the tube. Gas detector tubes are typically used to determine if…
