Source: NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards, Carbon dioxide (OSHA PEL from 29 CFR 1910.1000 Table Z as listed there). TWA = 8-hour time-weighted average, ST = short-term (15-minute), C = ceiling, Ca = NIOSH potential occupational carcinogen. NIOSH physical description: Colorless, odorless gas. [Note: Shipped as a liquefied compressed gas. Solid form is utilized as dry ice.]
Draeger short-term tubes are read on a Draeger accuro or X-act 5000 tube pump. Per the handbook (pp. 28–29), Draeger tubes and Draeger pumps are matched at the factory and form a single unit; other makers' pumps and tubes are not interchangeable with them. All Draeger tubes A–Z.

What is the lowest range Draeger tube for Carbon dioxide? 8101811, 100 to 3000 ppm, 10 strokes.
What is the OSHA exposure limit for Carbon dioxide? OSHA PEL TWA 5000 ppm (9000 mg/m³); NIOSH REL TWA 5000 ppm (9000 mg/m³) ST 30,000 ppm (54,000 mg/m³); IDLH 40,000 ppm (NIOSH Pocket Guide).
Which pump reads Draeger Carbon dioxide tubes? The Draeger accuro hand pump or the X-act 5000 pump. MicroTubes, where listed, are read on the X-act 7000.
Do Draeger Carbon dioxide tubes expire? Yes. The expiration date (month and year) is printed on the package; the handbook states a typical shelf life for the customer of up to two years, stored sealed at the temperature on the package strip (handbook section 2.13).
