Draeger 8101801 questions
What does the Draeger 8101801 measure? Phosphine in air, measuring range 10 to 100 ppm / 1 to 20 ppm.
How many pump strokes does the 8101801 take? 2 / 10 strokes (n) per the handbook, p. 250. Measuring time approx. 2 min / approx. 10 min.
Which pump does the 8101801 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.
What is the color change on the 8101801? yellow → dark brown, read against the scale printed on the tube.
Do Draeger 8101801 tubes expire? Yes. Draeger prints an expiration date (month and year) 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).
How many tubes are in a box of 8101801? 10. Each tube is used once.
