Cross-sensitivity (handbook, p. 151): Phosgene is indicated with around the same sensitivity as carbon tetrachloride. 50 ppm perchloroethylene gives a reading of approx. 1 to 2 ppm, 50 ppm trichloroethylene and 1,1,-dichloroethylene give a weak reading of < 0.1 ppm. The indication is not affected by: 10ppm vinyl chloride 200 ppm 1,2-dichloroethylene

Draeger 8103501 questions
What does the Draeger 8103501 measure? Carbon tetrachloride in air, measuring range 0.1 to 5 ppm.
How many pump strokes does the 8103501 take? 5 strokes (n) per the handbook, p. 151. Measuring time approx. 2.5 min.
Which pump does the 8103501 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 8103501? yellow → blue-green, read against the scale printed on the tube.
Do Draeger 8103501 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 8103501? 10. Each tube is used once.
