The Draeger 6728311 gas detector tube is designed for quick, colorimetric measurement of nitric acid vapors in air. Used with a Draeger tube pump, these glass tubes enable on-site qualitative to semi-quantitative assessment by drawing a known volume of air through the tube and reading the developed color band to indicate concentration within the specified ranges. The tube is formulated for the nitric acid 1/a scale, supporting measurements from 5 to 50 ppm and 1 to 15 ppm, with a total of 10 measurements per tube box. This packaging aligns with typical field testing workflows where multiple samples are collected across shifts or locations, enabling straightforward documentation of exposure trends over time.
Key construction and features include a glass tube with a break-off tip for simple, field-friendly sampling. The standard time-to-result is indicated as 2 or 4 minutes, reflecting the response time required for the chemical reagents inside the tube to develop a readable color change. Each box contains 10 tubes, matching common procurement quantities for routine monitoring programs, and the break-off tip design helps ensure controlled sampling and minimizes contamination during use. The colorimetric readout is purpose-built to indicate the presence and approximate concentration of nitric acid vapor in the sampled air, supporting quick decision-making in industrial settings where real-time exposure data is essential.
Practical use considerations include ensuring proper pairing with a Draeger tube pump and following the manufacturer’s procedures for tube handling and replacement intervals. The product is categorized as a gas detector tube, intended for point-in-time measurements rather than continuous monitoring. While the data provided confirms the measurement ranges and packaging, it does not specify material compatibility beyond glass construction or additional certifications, so users should consult Draeger’s guidelines for compatibility with their sampling environment and regulatory expectations. All information reflects the fields provided in the record, including the part number and packaging details for ordering accuracy.
