List of Kitagawa Tubes

Description
The Matheson-Kitagawa Toxic Gas Detector System is a complete "sampling and analysis'' kit for on-the-spot readings. It is an excellent method for day-to-day checking, screening, QC in the lab or plant and spot testing. Non-technical employees can operate the Matheson-Kitagawa System with a minimum of training.
The Model 8014KA Toxic Gas Detector System provides accurate, dependable, and reproducible results in determining concentrations of toxic gases and vapors. It has been proven through extensive use by leading industrial companies and government agencies. One constant and reproducible sample volume reduces sampling and analysis errors -- as opposed to other pump designs, there are no orifice changes or multiple strokes to keep track of. The same basic sampling technique applies to all Matheson-Kitagawa Precision Detector Tubes.
Only three easy steps are required to operate the detector: (1) break off the tips of a fresh detector tube, (2) insert the tube with arrow pointing toward the pump into the pump's sample inlet, (3) pull out the pump handle to automatically lock, drawing a 100 cc sample. A proprietary Sample Vue™ indicator shows when sampling is completed. Only one stroke is needed for most analyses; no need for multiple volumes or stroke counters.
Matheson-Kitagawa precision detector tubes are formulated with high purity chemical reagents which absorb and react with the gas or vapor being measured. The reaction causes a colorimetric stain which varies in length to the concentration of the gas or vapor being measured. The length of stain is normally read directly off a scale printed on each tube. Four types of Matheson-Kitagawa tubes provide the needed flexibility for different gases and sampling conditions.
