Title Evaluation of indicator tubes - Part V. Sulfur dioxide
Original title Utvärdering av vissa analysampullers tillförlitlighet - V. Svaveldioxid [in Swedish]
Bibliographic information Undersökningsrapport 1977:13, Arbetarskyddsstyrelsen, Fack, 100 26 Stockholm, Sweden, 1977. p.27. 9 ref. Price: Swe-cr.5.00.
Abstract Six tubes (Auer 824; Bacharach 19-203; Dräger CH 317; Gastec 5L and 5La; MSA 92 623) were tested for accuracy, effects of temperature and humidity and interferences. All tubes had acceptable measuring ranges, but the length of stain requirement was met only by the Auer and Gastec 5L. The accuracy depended on the humidity; the effect of temperature was difficult to separate from the effect of humidity. The Auer and Bacharach tubes were unacceptable, the Dräger and MSA nearly acceptable and the Gastec 5L and 5La were acceptable. English summary.
