Gastec Ethyl Mercaptan (C₂H₅SH) Gas Detector Tubes provide a convenient method for measuring ethyl mercaptan concentrations in air and gas sampling applications.

Designed for on-site gas detection, industrial hygiene, workplace air monitoring, occupational safety, LP-gas testing, and environmental testing, Gastec detector tubes provide a simple visual method for measuring specific gas concentrations without requiring electronic gas detection equipment.

Multiple tube options are available for ethyl mercaptan monitoring, including standard detector tubes for use with a compatible Gastec gas sampling pump and the Gastec 72P Inline Sampling Tube, designed specifically for testing ethyl mercaptan in LP-gas without a sampling pump.

Gastec Ethyl Mercaptan Detector Tube Options:

Gastec 72L Ethyl Mercaptan Detector Tubes:

  • Part Number: 72L
  • Target Gas: Ethyl Mercaptan (C₂H₅SH)
  • Ethyl Mercaptan Measuring Range: 0.2–75 PPM
  • Sampling Method: Gastec Gas Sampling Pump
  • Quantity: 10 tubes per box
  • Tests: 10 tests per box

Gastec 72 Ethyl Mercaptan Detector Tubes:

  • Part Number: 72
  • Target Gas: Ethyl Mercaptan (C₂H₅SH)
  • Ethyl Mercaptan Measuring Range: 0.5–120 PPM
  • Sampling Method: Gastec Gas Sampling Pump
  • Quantity: 10 tubes per box
  • Tests: 10 tests per box

Gastec 72P Ethyl Mercaptan Inline Sampling Tubes:

  • Part Number: 72P
  • Target Gas: Ethyl Mercaptan (C₂H₅SH)
  • Application: LP-Gas (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) Testing
  • Sampling Method: Inline Sampling
  • Sampling Time: Approximately 1 minute
  • Gas Sampling Pump Required: No
  • Quantity: 10 tubes per box
  • Tests: 10 tests per box

The Gastec 72P is designed for inline testing of ethyl mercaptan in LP-gas. Insert the tube into the appropriate inline sampling point and allow the gas to flow through the detector tube according to Gastec's sampling instructions. Sampling is completed in approximately 1 minute without requiring a Gastec hand pump.

Common Applications

Gastec Ethyl Mercaptan Gas Detector Tubes can be used for LP-gas and propane odorant testing, natural gas and petroleum operations, gas distribution and storage, workplace air monitoring, industrial hygiene surveys, occupational exposure assessment, chemical processing, odorant monitoring, process monitoring, leak investigations, and workplace safety applications where ethyl mercaptan may be present.

Important

The required sampling method depends on the detector tube selected. Gastec 72L and 72 Ethyl Mercaptan Detector Tubes require a compatible Gastec Gas Sampling Pump. Gastec 72P Inline Sampling Tubes do NOT require a sampling pump and are designed specifically for inline LP-gas testing.

Always select the appropriate detector tube for your application and follow the manufacturer's sampling instructions and correction factors, when applicable, for the specific tube being used.

Need a Gastec Sampling Pump?

For Gastec 72L and 72 Ethyl Mercaptan Detector Tubes, a compatible Gastec Gas Sampling Pump is required for proper sampling and measurement:
