Draeger Mercaptan Short-Term Gas Detector Tubes provide a convenient method for measuring mercaptan concentrations in air using a compatible Draeger gas sampling pump.

Designed for on-site gas detection, industrial hygiene, workplace air monitoring, occupational safety, petroleum and natural gas operations, process monitoring, and environmental testing, Draeger detector tubes provide a simple visual method for measuring mercaptan concentrations without requiring electronic gas detection equipment.

Multiple measuring ranges are available to accommodate different mercaptan monitoring applications, from low-level measurements beginning at 0.1 PPM to higher-concentration measurements up to 100 PPM.

Common Applications

Draeger Mercaptan Detector Tubes can be used with compatible Draeger sampling equipment for workplace air monitoring, industrial hygiene surveys, occupational exposure assessment, natural gas and LPG operations, petroleum refining, oil and gas facilities, odorant monitoring, chemical manufacturing and processing, storage and transfer operations, wastewater treatment, environmental monitoring, process monitoring, and workplace safety applications where mercaptans may be present.

Important

A compatible Draeger Gas Sampling Pump is required to use these detector tubes. Because multiple Draeger Mercaptan Detector Tubes are available with different measuring ranges, always select the appropriate tube based on the anticipated mercaptan concentration and your specific testing application.

Always follow the manufacturer's sampling instructions, pump stroke requirements, and correction factors, when applicable, for the specific detector tube being used.

Need a Draeger Sampling Pump?

Draeger detector tubes require a compatible Draeger Gas Sampling Pump for proper sampling and measurement. Complete your gas detection setup with:

  • Draeger Accuro Hand Sampling Pump – A manual bellows-style sampling pump designed for use with compatible Draeger detector tubes for quick, on-site gas and vapor measurements.

Already have a Draeger pump? Simply select the appropriate mercaptan detector tube based on your required measuring range.
