The Draeger 8101501 Gas Detector Tube is a disposable, colorimetric tool designed for quick one-off measurement of perchloroethylene (PCE) vapor levels. Packaged as a box containing 10 tubes, this model uses a glass tube with a break-off tip to allow immediate activation by breaking the tip and drawing a sample through the tube. The technology is rooted in Draeger’s long-standing gas detection approach, offering a simple, calibration-free method to assess specific gas concentrations in the workplace without sophisticated equipment.
Key construction features include a glass tube with a break-off tip and a known indicator chemistry sensitive to perchloroethylene 2/a. The design emphasizes portability and ease of use, enabling field personnel to perform rapid spot checks in diverse environments. Draeger tubes are widely recognized for a straightforward operation: no calibration, no lubrication, and no special maintenance, with results derived from a pre-determined color change that operators interpret against the tube’s scale.
When selecting this product, ensure you are using the correct tube for perchloroethylene 2/a and that you have compatible sampling procedures. Each box contains 10 tubes, aligning with typical field testing workflows that require multiple measurements on-site. Proper handling and storage per Draeger guidance help preserve the indicatory chemistry until use and support reliable qualitative or semi-quantitative readings for process or safety screening purposes.
