What gases can be detected with gas detection tubes?


Published on: 2024-08-06      Views: 203


Gas detection tubes, also known as colorimetric tubes, are used to detect specific gases in the air. These tubes contain chemicals that undergo a color change when exposed to a particular gas. Here are some common gases that can be detected using gas detection tubes:


Carbon Monoxide (CO): A toxic gas produced by incomplete combustion.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2): A byproduct of combustion and respiration.
Sulfur Dioxide (SO2): Produced by burning fossil fuels and industrial processes.
Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2): Produced by combustion processes, especially in vehicles and industrial emissions.
Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S): A toxic gas with a characteristic "rotten egg" odor, produced by decomposition processes and industrial activities.
Ammonia (NH3): Found in industrial processes and agriculture, with a pungent odor.
Chlorine (Cl2): Used in water treatment and industrial processes.
Ozone (O3): Found in the atmosphere and can be produced by electrical equipment and industrial processes.
Formaldehyde (CH2O): A common indoor air pollutant from building materials and furnishings.
Various Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): These include a wide range of chemicals emitted from paints, solvents, cleaning products, and fuels.
