The Gastec Corporation of Japan has been manufacturing gas detector tubes, pumps and accessories for more than 30 years. Gastec manufacturers more than 250 gas detector tubes, measuring the presence of over 500 hundred gases.
Gastec detector tubes are manufactured in ISO-9001 certified facilities in Japan, and are sold worldwide through a network of distributors. No other manufacturer has more detector tubes certified by the Safety Equipment Institute (SEI), a private, non-profit organization established in 1981 to administer the first non-governmental, third party certification program to test and certify a broad range of safety products.

Gastec Standard Detector Tube System Structure
Gastec standard detector tubes are thin glass tubes with calibration scales printed by which you can directly read concentrations of the substances (gases and vapors) to be measured. Each tube contains detecting reagent (s) that are especially sensitive to the target substance and quickly produces a distinct layer of color change. The tubes are hermetically sealed. To use, break off both ends and connect the tube to the Model GV-100 Gas Sampling Pump with the directional arrow pointing toward the pump. Some detector tubes are used as twin tubes by being connected with their pretreatment tubes, which filter unwanted gases from the sensitive detecting reagents in the detector tube. To assure a high precision indication, Gastec's detector tubes have tightly controlled inner diameters and sensitive detecting reagents with long-term stability (many have 3-yar shelf life) which are manufactured in an ISO 9001 facility. All detector tubes undergo stringent quality control. Individual production lots are tested and calibrated independently of each other to ensure the highest calibration accuracy for each lot. Each box of detector tubes has its quality control number printed on it.


Model GV-100 Gas Sampling Pump

The Model GV-100 Gas Sampling Pump can precisely collect a sample volume for a detector tube. The full-stroke (100 ml) and the half stroke (50 ml) positions are marked exactly by the red line on the pump shaft, and the handle is precisely locked at those positions. If you pump fully n times by allowing for sampling time intervals, a volume of 100 ml x n can be sampled. Each detector tube is calibrated based upon a prescribed (standard) volume of sample. Also, the pump piston has been designed with a smaller diameter so that the handle can be pulled out with even less effort. Gastec piston sampling pump design proves you with advanced non sparking design and superior features. It is a convenient handy size easily carried, it weighs a mere 230 g.

Name and chemical formula
The name of the substance to be measured with this detector tube and
its chemical formula


Detector tube number
The identification number of the detector tube


External appearance
The external appearance of the detector tube(s) is briefly illustrated. Both
ends of the tube(s) should be broken and prepared before measurements
as shown below.


Measuring range
The range of the substance concentrations that can be measured with
the detector tube. The standard measuring range, or range of the printed
calibration scale is given in the shaded box. Some lower limit values of
the standard measuring ranges are parenthesized when they are not
printed on the tubes but only their scale lines are printed.


Number of pump strokes
The number of pump strokes required for measuring a given range of
concentrations. The volume to be sampled with those strokes is given
in the parentheses. The standard pump strokes and the standard sampling
volume are given in the shaded box. With most Gastec detector tubes,
the standard pump strokes are prescribed as 1 (the standard sampling
volume is 100 ml).


Correction factor
When measuring an extended range of concentration, that is, when the
measurement is performed with other than the standard number of
pump strokes, the tube reading should be corrected by multiplying the
reading by the prescribed correction factor.


Sampling time
A waiting time for 100 ml (or 50 ml for half strokes) to be sampled in the
detector tube after the handle of the Model GV-100 Gas Sampling Pump is
fully (or half way for 50 ml) pulled out. When you pump more than once
(n times), the waiting time for you to read the tube, that is, the measuring
time is:
Measuring time = sampling time x n.


Detecting limit
The lower limit of the substance concentration that the detector tube can
detect. This minimal concentration can be recognized by a slight color change
at the entrance of the detecting layer. This value is followed by the parenthesized
number of pump strokes required for measuring this concentration.


Color change
Indicates how the detecting layer of the detector tube will change its color by the
reaction with the target substance. This is shown in the form of:

Original color Changed color


Reaction principle
The chemical reaction of the target substance with the reagent(s) in the
detector tube is briefly stated.
Coefficient of Variation
An indicator of the accuracy of the detector tube. It represents how the
tube indications may deviate from their mean value in percentage:
Coefficient of Variation= Standard devlation () x 100 ( % )
Mean value ()


Shelf life
The period that Gastec will warrant the quality of the detector tubes,
provided that they are stored under the prescribed conditions


Corrections for temperature & humidity
For detector tubes whose indications are affected +/- 10 % or more by the
fluctuation of temperature or humidity, the tube readings should be corrected.
Whether or not such corrections are necessary are indicated here.
The correction data, if necessary, is provided in the instruction sheets
provided with the detector tubes.


Storage condition
To keep the high quality of Gastec detector tubes, it is necessary to store them
in a cool and dark place. It is recommended to store the tubes in the refrigerator,
i.e, 0 to 10oC(32 to 50oF) even if the tube labels describes cool and dark place.
Possible coexisting substances and their interferences
Substances that are liable to coexist with the target substance and their
influences on the tube indications are listed here. The column "Concentration"
Iists the lowest concentration that may affect the indication +/-10 % or more,
or the highest concentration that is assured of no influence to such extent.
These concentration levels are expressed either as quantitative ratios of
interferents to the target substance (e.g., 1/5, 2 times)or concentrations
of interferents themselves (e.g., 3%, 500ppm).Where, reads"equal to
or higher than" and reads "equal to or lower than" .The presumed influence
by coexistence is given in the column "Interference" where the " + " sign suggests
10% or higher indication, the " - " sign expresses - 10% or lower indication, or
"No"means noinfluence. "Bleaching" means that this interferent will cause the
reaction colorto be pale. For your reference, the column "Changes color by itself to"
is givento show how the interferents will change the color of the detecting layer if
they exist without the presence of the target gas. "No" represents that no color
change will be observed. The table of this interference gases primarily expresses
the interference of each coexisting gas in the gas concentration range, equivalent
to the gas concentration by some of the other coexisting gases or vapors mentioned
from the main purposes of using this detector tube. Therefore, the test result may be
given positive result by the other substance not listed in the table. For more precise
information is needed, please contact us or our distributors in your territory.
Other substance (s) measurable with this detector tube
Some detector tubes have high sensitivities to several other substances
and can be used to measure those concentrations. If this is the case, the
names of such substances, the correction methods of the tube readings
(whether by using a correction scale or a correction factor), the numbers
of pump strokes and the measuring ranges are listed. For detector tubes
that perform qualitative analysis, the title of this item is read as "Substances
measurable with this detector tube."


Calibration gas generation
The method of generating the calibration gas that is used for calibrating
the detector tube or testing its accuracy.
Threshold limit values and explosive range
Some substances may be hazardous to health or dangerous to life
depending on their concentrations or the duration of exposure, or may
be combustible or explosive. For detector tubes for measuring those
substances, the threshold limit values based upon the recommendations
of the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists
(ACGIH), as well as the explosive ranges are presented for your reference.


TLV-TWA :Threshold Limit Value-Time-Weighted Average
The time-weighted average concentration for a normal 8-hour
workday or 40-hour workweek, to which nearly all workers may
be repeatedly exposed, day after day, without adverse effect.


TLV-STEL: Threshold Limit Value-Short-Term Exposure Limit
The maximum concentration, to which workers can be exposed
for a period of not longer than 15 minutes continuously without
suffering from:
( I ) irritation,
( 2 ) chronic or irreversible tissue damage, or
( 3 ) narcosis of sufficient degree to increase the likelihood of
accidental injury, impair self-rescue, or materially reduce work
efficiency, and provided that the daily TLV-TWA is not exceeded.


TLV-C:Threshold Limit Value-Ceiling
The concentration that should not be exceeded during any
part of the working exposure. In conventional industrial
hygiene practice if instantaneous monitoring is not feasible,
the TLV-C can be assessed by sampling over a 15 minute
period except for those substances that may cause immediate
irritation when exposures are short.


Explosive range :
The range of concentrations of the substance in which its gas
or vapor mixed with air will be explosive. Concentrations are
expressed by the percentage ( % ) of the substance in the
mixed air.
