Draeger 8101691 Gas Detector Tube, Petroleum Hydrocarbons 10/a, 10/Box

The Draeger 8101691 Gas Detector Tube is a colorimetric tube designed for rapid screening of petroleum hydrocarbons in ambient air. Used with a compatible Draeger tube pump, this single-use glass tube provides a straightforward measurement method for detecting hydrocarbons in the 10 to 300 ppm range, with a typical 1-minute test time. Each tube is built to capture a precise volume of air and indicate concentration through a color change, enabling quick decisions in field or shop-floor environments where volatile hydrocarbons may be present.

Construction-wise, the tube is made of glass and features a break-off tip to allow safe sample draw and immediate analysis once a sample is collected. The product comes in a box, with ten tubes per box, making it suitable for regular testing routines and convenient stocking for safety teams. The measurement range and duration are specified to help users determine when this tube is the appropriate tool for a given screening task, and to gauge how often replacements should be stocked based on anticipated usage.

Common use scenarios include preliminary screening of hydrocarbon exposure in workplaces such as industrial facilities, painting operations, or chemical processing areas where vapors may be present in the air. Operators should follow Draeger’s tube-pump protocol to ensure consistent sampling technique and reliability of results. The 10/box packaging supports repeat testing and inventory planning, while the glass tube construction is a standard in break-instrumentation for colorimetric readings. No additional materials, certifications, or compatibility details are stated beyond the tube-specific range and timing.
