Detector Tube Listing

for MATHESON-Kitagawa Toxic Gas Detector System

Description
MATHESON-Kitagawa Precision Detector Tubes are formulated
with high purity reagents that absorb and react with the gas
or vapor being measured. The reaction causes a colorimetric
stain that varies in length proportional to the concentration
of the gas or vapor being measured. For most tubes, the
concentration is read directly from the measurement scale
etched on each tube.

Just three easy steps are required to operate the detector:

(1) B
 reak off both ends of a sealed, fresh
detector tube in the pump’s tip cutter. A MATHESON-Kitagawa Toxic Gas Detector Tubes
special compartment retains the broken
tips until it is convenient to discard them.

(2) Insert the detector tube into the

pump’s sample inlet, with the air
flow arrow pointing toward the
pump.

(3) Line up the red dots on the pump shaft and

pump end collar, and pull the pump handle all
the way out. The handle automatically locks
and the pump begins to draw a 100cc sample
through the detector tube. A proprietary Sample
VueTM indicator shows when sampling is complete
(typically less than thirty seconds). MATHESON-Kitagawa Toxic Gas Detector

SEI Certification – The MATHESON-Kitagawa precision sampling pump and

several detector tubes are certified by the Safety Equipment Institute (SEI). SEI
is a recognized organization that offers certification programs to assist the
Certified Model industrial safety equipment industry in providing the American worker protective
(ANSI - ISEA 102 - 1990) equipment that meets recognized standards and current state-of-the-art.
