The Draeger 8101881 Gas Detector Tube is a single-use glass tube designed for quick qualitative and semi-quantitative measurement of trichloroethylene in ambient air. When used with a compatible Draeger tube pump, the tube provides a readout over a fixed measurement window, typically within 50 to 500 ppm, with a standard test time of about 1.5 minutes. Each tube is preloaded with a specified reactive chemistry and a break-off tip to allow safe sample collection and breakage at the appropriate point in the procedure, helping to isolate the sample volume and minimize exposure. The package ships as a box containing 10 tubes, with each tube supporting an individual measurement.
The construction uses glass as the tube body, which supports clear displacement and stable colorimetric results for trichloroethylene detections within its stated range. The 50–500 ppm range reflects the tube’s intended sensitivity for environments where trichloroethylene is present at low to moderate concentrations. Practically, this makes the item suitable for spot checks or field screening where rapid feedback is needed to assess potential exposure levels in air samples. As with other colorimetric tube methods, results should be interpreted following the manufacturer’s instructions and in conjunction with pump performance to ensure accurate sampling time and volume.
Compatibility wise, this product is part of a network of Draeger tubes designed to work with Draeger tube pumps and associated accessories. The standard packaging is a box, containing 10 tubes per box, which aligns with typical batch testing workflows and inventory planning. Users should verify their pump model and instruction sheet to confirm correct operation and break-off tip handling for safe, consistent results.
