Draeger Safety Short-Term Detector Tubes are used to measure the concentration of specific contaminants in the air instantaneously. Currently there are about 160 short-term tubes available for determining and measuring more than 350 different gases, vapors and aerosols. The Short-Term Tubes can be used in conjunction with the Accuro Bellows Pump or the Accuro 2000 gas detection system.
Draeger Tubes are glass vials filled with a chemical reagent that reacts to a specific chemical or family of chemicals. A calibrated 100 ml sample of air is drawn through the tube with the Draeger Accuro Bellows Pump. If the targeted chemical(s) is present, the reagent in the tube changes its color, and the length of the color change typically indicates the measured concentration.
Due to its effectiveness in accurate and instant measurement of air-contamination, the Draeger Tubes System is the world’s most popular form of gas detection.
