Short-Term Detector Tubes - Nitrogen Fumes

Short-Term Detector Tubes - Nitrogen Fumes

Short-Term Detector Tubes for Nitrogen Fumes are specialized glass tubes filled with a reactive chemical reagent that changes color when exposed to nitrogen-based compounds (e.g., nitrogen dioxide or ammonia) in the air. These tubes are used for quick, portable detection of nitrogen fumes, providing real-time measurements of nitrogen concentrations in various environments.

Specifications:

• Target Gas: Nitrogen Fumes (including nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ammonia (NH₃), or other nitrogen compounds)

• Detection Range:

  • Common ranges: 0.1 to 100 ppm, depending on the tube type

  • May vary based on specific nitrogen compound detection (e.g., ammonia vs. nitrogen oxides)

• Material: High-quality glass tubes with impregnated reagent chemicals

• Reactivity: Visible color change in response to gas exposure

• Reaction Time: Typically within 1–5 minutes, depending on the concentration of the gas

• Shelf Life:

  • Usually 12–24 months from manufacture, depending on storage conditions

• Temperature Range: 5°C to 40°C (store in a cool, dry place)

• CAS Number: Varies based on specific tube contents and nitrogen compound being tested

Uses:

• Industrial Safety:

  • Monitoring nitrogen oxide fumes in environments such as factories, laboratories, and wastewater treatment plants

• Environmental Monitoring:

  • Detecting nitrogen pollutants in the air, especially in urban or industrial settings

• Agriculture:

  • Ammonia detection around livestock farms or fertilizer facilities

• Chemical Processing:

  • In chemical plants for controlling nitrogen compounds in exhaust or vent gases

• Field Measurements:

  • Portable, on-site analysis of air quality for immediate reporting
