Source: NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards, Nitrogen 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: Yellowish-brown liquid or reddish-brown gas (above 70°F) with a pungent, acrid odor. [Note: In solid form (below 15°F) it is found structurally as N₂O₂.]
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.

Draeger Nitrogen dioxide tube questions
Which Draeger tubes measure Nitrogen dioxide? 6719101 (5 to 100 ppm / 2 to 50 ppm), 8103631 (5 to 30 ppm / 0.1 to 5 ppm), 8101111 (10-200 ppm in 1 h (down to 1.3-25 ppm in 8 h)).
What is the lowest range Draeger tube for Nitrogen dioxide? 6719101, 5 to 100 ppm / 2 to 50 ppm, 5 / 10 strokes.
What is the OSHA exposure limit for Nitrogen dioxide? OSHA PEL C 5 ppm (9 mg/m³); NIOSH REL ST 1 ppm (1.8 mg/m³); IDLH 13 ppm (NIOSH Pocket Guide).
Which pump reads Draeger Nitrogen 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 Nitrogen 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).
