Using gas detector tubes in industries:

July 27, 2016 by Uniphos

gas-detection-tubesAlthough there are numerous usages of gas detector tubes, the industrial usage of gas detector tubes is very vital. This is one of the most reliable and proven ways to measure toxic substances, pollutants and harmful gas. Because this method doesn’t rely on laboratory, calibration and power, the results in the tube detection method are fast and accurate. The method is easy, simple and provides a quicker and better accurate analysis. 

Common Usages of the Detector Tubes:

The gas detection tubes measure based on the parts-per-million and billion and the percent by volume. Because of their quicker sample detection time, these tubes are used in a variety of industrial applications.

Use of Gas Detector Tubes in Different Industries:

A majority of industries uses gas detector tubes at their hazardous waste sites for quick detection of harmful gas and toxic substances in the sample. Gas detector tubes can also be used in clean-up of spills in chemical industries.

Why Industries Should Use Gas Detector Tubes

Leakage of a harmful gas can lead to the release of toxic vapor in the air. This can pose some major workplace hazards for workers. Industries, thus, use gas detector tubes to protect workers from toxic air exposure. At many refineries, the use of gas detector tubes is also abundant. It can be either for leak detection or to find the quantity of toxic substance in the sample.
Even Pulp and paper plants use gas detector tubes to detect hazardous material response. These days, security teams and intelligence squads also use detector tubes to find chemical attacks

How Does a Gas Detector Tube Work?

The gas detector tubes are specially designed to become chemically sensitive in the presence of certain gas, vapor and toxic substances. The tubes come with a detector reagent placed inside the detector in a hermetically sealed tube. Most of the chemical and vapor detector tubes have the direct reading option with clear calibration marking on the tube.

Based on the sample detection method, you need to operate the analyzer tube by either breaking away the tube ends or by pulling out the pump handle.
