GAS DETECTION TUBES & SYSTEMS

Gas detector tubes are one of the classic measurement methods used for gas analysis. This versatile system can be used for numerous applications in industry, firefighting, disaster management, in the laboratory, for environmental protection and in many other areas.

The Draeger tube has been detecting poisonous carbon monoxide since the 1930s. In 1973, after the US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health successfully tested the quality of Draeger gas detection technology, US safety inspectors began using Draeger tubes as their official detection procedure.

Dräger-Tubes® for short-term measurements

Draeger tubes are glass vials filled with a chemical reagent that reacts to a specific chemical or family of chemicals. Detector tubes are a cost-effective, fast, and reliable way to measure toxic gases in the workplace. More than 200 different tubes are available for accurate spot measurements of over 500 gasses and vapors. Applications include determination of concentration peaks, measurement of exposures in the inhalation area, determination of possible leakages and analysis of air in sewers, shafts, tanks, or other confined spaces.

Accuro Hand Pump

The Accuro manual gas detector pump is used for spot measurements with Draeger tubes. The body of the pump consists of a bellows, which is pushed together and released drawing the gas sample to be measured through the tube. The pump is easy to operate with one hand allowing reliable measurements in situations where mobility is limited and in locations that are difficult to access.

Respiratory Safety Products

In many industrial facilities, employees must work in areas where hazardous substances are present, or where the level of oxygen and amount of toxic substances may change at any time. These health hazards can affect the lungs or cause disease - and in extreme cases, can even lead to death. Where toxic substances can't be completely controlled, respiratory protective equipment must be used. Draeger designs respiratory protection devices to help you put safety first, no matter the scenario.
