New Kitagawa Gas Detection Tube: 120SE2 Hydrogen Sulphide
Kitagawa Replace Their Hydrogen Sulphide Gas Detector Tube
Hydrogen sulphide can be extremely damaging to human health, with exposure resulting in a range of health impacts from mild dizziness to coma and even death. Due to the prevalence of hydrogen sulphide in many industries such as mining, oil and gas operations, electric power plants and pulp and paper mills, it is essential that worker health is protected by detecting hydrogen sulphide before workers are exposed to a harmful concentration of the substance.
Air-Met Scientific are excited to share that Kitagawa have announced the development of a new and improved hydrogen sulphide gas detection tube, designated number 120SE2, superseding 120SE.
Improvements Made Upon the Hydrogen Sulphide Gas Detection Tube
The new 120SE2 hydrogen sulphide detector tube is mercury-free, with Kitagawa guaranteeing the same performance as the 120SE tube. Unlike the 120SE, the reaction used to detect the presence of hydrogen sulphide utilises a silver compound as a reagent rather than mercuric chloride. This change has also allowed Kitagawa to increase the shelf life of the gas detector tube to 3 years whilst reducing the detectable limit to 0.05ppm from 0.2ppm.
About Kitagawa Gas Detector Tubes
Kitagawa’s world-renowned gas detector tube range started with the hydrogen sulphide tube in 1947, originally used for quality control purposes. Since then, Kitagawa now has a global presence and offers tubes to measure over 200 different kinds of gases and vapours. Air-Met Scientific are proudly the exclusive supplier of the Kitagawa Gas Detector Tube Range in Australia.
