Draeger 8101701 Gas Detector Tube, Toluene 50/a, 10/Box

Draeger 8101701 Gas Detector Tube is designed for on-the-spot qualitative and semi-quantitative measurement of toluene in air. Used with a Draeger tube pump, this glass tube provides a rapid indication of concentration by drawing a fixed volume of air through the tube, triggering a colorimetric change and a break-off tip segment to indicate the end of useful life for the test. The tube contains the appropriate reagents to respond to toluene at the specified range, delivering a measurement window of 50 to 400 ppm in about 1.5 minutes per test. The 8101701 tube is packaged in a box containing 10 tubes, suitable for multiple point-in-time spot checks in industrial or ambient environments where solvent vapors may be present.

The construction uses glass tube media with a break-off tip for easy sampling and accurate endpoint determination. This configuration is a classic Draeger-tube solution intended to be used with Draeger’s pump systems, ensuring compatibility and consistent sample volumes for reproducible results. The standard range and measurement time provided help operators interpret results quickly in the field, supporting immediate decision making when monitoring solvent exposure levels.

Typical applications include spot-check screening for toluene exposure in workplaces such as paint shops, coating facilities, or processes where solvent vapors can accumulate. Practical use considerations include ensuring the pump is calibrated, following the tube’s 50–400 ppm range to avoid under- or over-reading, and replacing tubes promptly after the break-off tip indicates the end of the detectable range. The package size specifies 10 tubes per box, enabling inventory management and test planning across multiple sampling points.
