Gas Detection Tubes

Gas detector tubes are single-use devices designed to detect and measure specific gases in the air by using a colorimetric reaction. They consist of a sealed glass tube containing a chemical reagent that changes color when it reacts with the target gas. The length of the color stain is then correlated with the gas concentration.
How they work:
Reagent: The tube contains a reagent that reacts with the target gas, causing a color change.
Air Sampling: A hand pump draws a sample of air through the tube.
Color Stain: The reacting gas produces a color stain within the tube.
Measurement: The length of the stain is compared to a pre-calibrated scale on the tube to determine the gas concentration.
Uses:
Industrial Applications: Used in various industries to monitor gas levels and identify potential hazards.
Marine Environments: Commonly used in marine settings to detect gas leaks and ensure safety.
General Air Quality: Can be used to measure the presence of various gases like flammable, toxic, and oxygen levels.
