Matheson's Qualitative
Detector Tubes provide fast on-the-spot identification of
unknown gases and vapors. There is no need for cumbersome grab
samples, time delayed laboratory analyses, expensive analytical
instrumentation or complex decision-tree matrix approaches. And
since calibration, electricity and battery charging are not
necessary, the tubes are always ready for immediate use. |
| Two types of tubes are
available. Model 8014-186B identifies a broad range of organic
compounds, such as gasoline, alcohols, hydrocarbons, etc. Model
8014-131 identifies inorganic compounds, such as carbon
monoxide, sulfur dioxide, chlorine, etc. Typically, both models
are used in concert, to assure detection of both organic and
inorganic compounds. |
| Principle
of Operation |
 |
In operation, Matheson's
Qualitative Tubes are used in the same way as conventional
detector tubes. That is, the high precision Matheson-Kitagawa
pump, Model 8014-400A, is used to draw the sample air through
the tubes. |
| However, unlike
conventional tubes which are "length of stain'' providing
quantitative measurements, these tubes are comprised of several
sections. Each section contains a unique, high purity blend of
reagents that will absorb and react with a particular gas or
vapor, or family of gases and vapors. The resulting reaction
causes a color change. The unknown gas or vapor is determined by
which section(s) changed color, and to what color they
changed to. |
| Model 8014-131 is used
to detect inorganic compounds and consists of 5 sections, labeled
"A'' to "E''. Only one tube is needed to
provide a complete analysis for inorganic. |
| Model
8014-186B is used to detect organic compounds and consists of 4
sections, labeled "A'' to "D''. Because of the
extensive number of detectable organic compounds, two tubes are
required for a complete analysis. One tube is used for "A''
side sampling (section A closest to pump), and is followed by a
second, fresh tube for "D'' side sampling (section D
closest to pump). The combined results are used to identify
unknown substances. |
