There is no need forcumbersome grab samples, time delayed laboratory analyses,expensive analytical instrumentation or complex decision-treematrix approaches. And since calibration, electricity and batterycharging are not necessary, the tubes are always ready forimmediate use.Two types of tubes are available. Model 8014-186B identifies abroad range of organic compounds, such as gasoline, alcohols,hydrocarbons, etc. Model 8014-131 identifies inorganiccompounds, such as carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, chlorine,etc. Typically, both models are used in concert, to assure detectionof both organic and inorganic compounds.Principle of OperationIn operation, Matheson’s Qualitative Tubes areused in the same way as conventional detectortubes. That is, the high precision Matheson-Kitagawa pump, Model 8014-400A, is used todraw the sample air through the tubes.However, unlike conventional tubes which are“length of stain’’ providing quantitativemeasurements, these tubes are comprised ofseveral sections. Each section contains a unique,high purity blend of reagents that will absorband react with a particular gas or vapor, orfamily of gases and vapors. The resultingreaction causes a color change. The unknown gasor vapor is determined by which section(s)changed color, and to what color they changed to.Model 8014-131 is used to detect inorganic compounds andconsists of 5 sections, labelled “A’’ to “E’’. Only one tube is neededto provide a complete analysis for inorganics.Model 8014-186B is used to detect organic compounds andconsists of 4 sections, labelled “A’’ to “D’’. Because of the extensivenumber of detectable organic compounds, two tubes are requiredfor a complete analysis. One tube is used for “A’’ side sampling(section A closest to pump), and is followed by a second, freshtube for “D’’ side sampling (section D closest to pump). Thecombined results are used to identify unknown substances.Compounds Detected and Detectable Limits (parts-per-million)Inorganic Tube Model 8014-131Acetic Acid (15) Hydrogen Chloride (20)Acetylene (10) Hydrogen Sulfide (10)Amines (5) Methyl Mercaptan (10)Ammonia (5) Nitrogen Dioxide (5)Carbon Monoxide (10) Phosphine (2)Chlorine (5) Sulfur Dioxide (10)Organic Tube Model 8014-186BAcetaldehyde (100) Heptane (10)Acetone (500) Hexane (10)Acetylene (100) Isopropyl Alcohol (500)Aniline (50) Kerosene (0.1 mg/l)Benzene (100) Methyl Alcohol (100)Butadiene (1000) Methyl Ethyl Ketone (100)Butane (10) Methyl Isobutyl Ketone (100)1-Butanol (100) Methyl Mercaptan (20)Butyl Acetate (100) Pentane (10)Carbon Disulfide (100) Phenol (10)Cresol (20) Propane (100)Ethyl Acetate (500) Styrene (100)Ethylamine (100) Tetrachloroethylene (100)Ethyl Benzene (400) Tetrahydrofuran (100)Ethyl Cellosolve (100) Toluene (200)Ethylene (10) Trichloroethane (1000)Ethylene Oxide (100) Trichloroethylene (1000)Formaldehyde (10) Vinyl Chloride (10)Gasoline (0.1 mg/l) Xylene (1000)131 186Bwww.ChrysalisScientific.com
