Description
GASTEC Gas detector tubes

The Gastec smoke test kit allows the user to monitor airflow movements within the work place.

Break off both ends of the smoke tube and attach a rubber squeeze bulb to one end of the tube. When the bulb is squeezed, a chemical reaction produces white smoke. This smoke makes the air flow (in ventilation systems/ducts, etc.) visible

The Gastec smoke test kit is ideal for indoor air measurement. Both ends of the smoke tube are broken and connected to a rubber bulb. Moisture in the air reacts with the reagent to produce a white smoke. A single tube can be used to perform in excess of 50 tests by sealing the tube ends with the rubber caps provided.

Ideal to validate fume hoods or extraction systems, monitor ventilation systems or air ducts.

Gas detector tubes

GASTEC gas detector tubes are thin glass tubes with calibration scales printed on them so you can directly read the concentrations of the substances (gases and vapours) to be measured. Each tube contains a particulate matrix (e.g. silica gel, alumina), which binds carefully selected and highly stable detection reagents that are especially sensitive to the target substance to produce a distinct layer of colour change. The tubes are hermetically sealed at both ends.

Currently, over 600 types of target gas can be measured.

Features

On-site measurements can be performed easily by anybody, anytime and anywhere, quickly.
Easy-to-check direct reading possible due to calibrated scale directly printed on the tube
An extensive measuring range can be obtained by adjusting the sampling volume.
For high precision, each production lot is tested and calibrated independently. Each detector tube has its quality control number printed on the tube.
Long shelf-life with excellent long-term stability

Operating environment

Most GASTEC tubes can be used in the temperature range of 0 - 40ºC and relative humidity range of 0- 90%. However, a few tubes have different temperature or humidity ranges. Please refer to the instruction manuals before use.

Gas sampling pump

The handy design GASTEC GV-100 cylinder pump, with an inner capacity of 100mL, weighs only 240g. It is designed for use with almost all GASTEC short-term measurement detector tubes.

*B: Bias of the scale reading against the test gas concentration
**U: Expanded uncertainty for a detector tube measurement system (The calculations of Expanded uncertainty are different for each standard.)
***MS: Maximum scale value of the detector tube
****MPC: Maximum permissible concentration, e.g. TLVs (Threshold limit values), etc.
