The Draeger 8103521 Gas Detector Tube is designed for rapid, on-site measurement of iodine levels in ambient air. Used with a Draeger tube pump, these glass tubes provide a simple, colorimetric reading that indicates iodine concentrations in the 1–5 ppm and 0.1–0.6 ppm ranges, with typical measurement times of 1 or 5 minutes depending on the tube and pump settings. This model is packaged as a box containing 10 tubes, making it suitable for routine screening or periodic monitoring in environments where iodine exposure is a concern.
Construction details include a glass tube with a break-off tip to enable sample collection and analysis, aligning with established Draeger core methodologies for gas and vapor detection. The specified measurement ranges help technicians decide if further action or more precise instrumentation is warranted, while the paired measurement times offer flexibility for quick spot checks versus more thorough assessments in confined or high-variance work areas. The approach is consistent with classic gas-analysis techniques that rely on colorimetric reactions within the tube, read after the designated exposure interval.
Practical use considerations include ensuring the correct pump is used with this iodine-specific tube and adhering to the recommended exposure durations to obtain reliable results. The packaging as a 10-tube box supports inventory planning for facilities conducting periodic monitoring or multi-location surveys where consistent, repeatable readings are essential. Compatibility is tied to the Draeger line of gas detector tubes and their corresponding pump devices, with specific attention to using the tube within its stated detection ranges for meaningful interpretation of results.
