Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the Dräger Accuro gas pump work?
The Dräger Accuro is a manual bellows pump that draws a calibrated volume of air through a Dräger detection tube. The chemical reaction inside the tube provides an immediate colorimetric reading of the gas concentration.
2. What is the shelf life of Dräger detection tubes?
Shelf life varies by the specific chemical reagent in the tube but is typically between 1 and 2 years; always check the expiration date printed on the Dräger packaging.
3. Can I use detection tubes without a pump?
No, Dräger short-term tubes require a calibrated pump like the Accuro to ensure the correct volume of air is sampled for an accurate concentration reading.
4. Why are there different ranges for ammonia detection tubes?
Different ranges, such as 2-30 ppm or 5-700 ppm, allow for higher resolution and accuracy depending on whether you are monitoring for trace leaks or high-concentration industrial exposure.
