Dräger-Tubes® detector tubes + Dräger accuro® pump — fast short-term gas measurement
Dräger-Tubes® are detector (colorimetric) tubes for fast, short-term measurement of gas and vapour concentrations — available for over 200 substances (including CO, H₂S, SO₂, NH₃, Cl₂, NOx, benzene, CO₂, solvent vapours). Measurement is simple: after breaking off the tips, the tube is placed in the hand-operated Dräger accuro® pump and a set number of air strokes is drawn (100 cm³/stroke). A colour change of the filling and the scale on the tube immediately indicate the concentration — without power supply or calibration. It is a proven, mobile tool for spot measurements, OHS checks and confirming the presence of specific substances.

Note: Tubes are selected to match the measured substance and range (each type has its own catalogue number). This is a spot/short-term measurement — it does not replace continuous monitoring with an electronic detector. The tubes have an expiry date.
Key features
- Over 200 tube types — a wide range of gases and vapours.
- Colorimetric measurement: colour change = concentration, scale on the tube.
- Hand-operated Dräger accuro® pump (100 cm³/stroke) — no power supply.
- Fast spot result in the field; no calibration.
- Simple to use — OHS checks, substance confirmation, ad-hoc measurements.
- Tubes available for short-term measurements and simultaneous test sets.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
How do Dräger-Tubes work?
After breaking off the tips, the tube is inserted into the hand-operated accuro pump and a set number of strokes is drawn; the colour of the filling and the scale on the tube indicate the gas concentration.
Is a separate tube type needed for each gas?
Yes — each substance has a dedicated tube type and catalogue number; we select them to match the measured gases.
Do the tubes replace an electronic detector?
No — this is a short-term/spot measurement. For continuous monitoring, X-am detectors or stationary systems are used.
