Draeger 8101331 questions
What does the Draeger 8101331 measure? Ethylene in air, measuring range 0.2 to 5 ppm.
How many pump strokes does the 8101331 take? 20 strokes (n) per the handbook, p. 174. Measuring time approx. 30 min.
Which pump does the 8101331 use? A Draeger tube pump: the accuro hand pump or the X-act 5000. Per the handbook (p. 28–29), Draeger short-term tubes and Draeger tube pumps are matched at the factory and form a single unit; using other pumps with Draeger tubes, or other tubes with Draeger pumps, can impair the measurement.
