1. INTRODUCTION

Gas detection tubes operate in the following manner: An air sample
is drawn through a tube containing a reagent, causing a color change.
The concentration is then read from the length of the color stain in the
reagent. The advantages of detection tubes over other analytical methods
are simplicity of use, rapid response, low cost, and very low maintenance.
Because each batch of Honeywell tubes is pre-calibrated, no calibration
equipment is necessary. Errors are prevented by directly marking the
calibration information on each tube, and accuracy is further ensured by
controlling the volume of air sampled. Honeywell tubes are primarily of
the narrow bore type and are designed for use with a Honeywell handoperated piston pump.
Air sampling can also be performed using piston pumps, which latch
into a precisely defined position to fix the volume. These pumps pull a
strong vacuum initially and thus create substantially higher flowrate than
the bellows pumps. Piston pumps generate a high flow initially followed
by an approximately exponential decay, whereas bellows pumps provide a
more steady flow initially followed by the slow decay. The difference in flow
patterns means that the pumps cannot be interchanged between types.
For example, piston pumps sometime cause a smearing of the color stain
when used on tubes originally developed for bellows pumps. This occurs
because the higher flow rates do not allow enough contact time to give
sharp endpoints when a piston pump is used.
For a period of time, attempts were made to improve accuracy by
stabilizing the flow rate using rate-limiting orifices. Some manufacturers
supplied as many as four different orifice sizes to match the particular
tube being used. However, exchanging limiting orifices proved to be
cumbersome and unnecessary as long as enough contact time was allowed
to avoid smearing the stain. Therefore, limiting orifices have fallen out of
use and it has now become standard practice to build the flow restriction
into the tube itself. This is done by selecting the particle size of the support
material and type of end plug that give a sampling time appropriate for the
particular chemical reaction of the tube.

INTRODUCTION

This handbook describes the use and performance of gas detection
tubes and sampling pumps manufactured by Honeywell. Honeywell began
manufacturing gas detection tubes in 1997 and is adding many new tubes
to its product line each year. Modern production facilities and techniques
allow us to offer high-quality tubes at a highly competitive price.

INTRODUCTION

As a result of these developments, modern tube/pump systems have
stabilized into two categories: (1) low-vacuum bellows pumps with less
flow resistance in the tubes, by virtue of being wider (~7 mm o.d.) and
having larger particles, and (2) high-vacuum piston pumps with greater
resistance in the tubes by being narrower (~5 mm) and having smaller
particles. The bellows pump/tube systems tend to have faster sampling
but require more pump strokes to complete a measurement, whereas the
piston pump systems generally need fewer strokes but longer sampling
time per stroke. Honeywell tubes are primarily of the narrow-bore type and
are designed for use with a piston sampling pump.

2. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROCEDURES FOR
GAS DETECTION TUBE MANUFACTURE
All Honeywell gas detection tubes are developed in an ISO 9001 certified
facility and manufactured in an ISO 9001 certified factory. All procedures,
work instructions, and quality records are documented and maintained to
ensure tube quality. The procedures are outlined below.
A. Tube Selection. Glass tubing is selected to fit a standard bore size to
ensure uniform length of color change.

C. Reagent Loading. Chemicals are chosen according to strict purity
standards and loaded onto the support materials. Deposition of the
chemicals onto the support follows a protocol developed specifically
for each tube type. The loaded support material is then dried as
needed for the reaction.
D. Tube Filling and Sealing. End plugs are selected of materials that
do not react with the reagent. The tubes are filled under conditions
that minimize exposure to air, water vapor, or other gases that may
affect the quality of the tubes. The tubes are then packed tightly by
a combination of shaking and physical compression. The ends of the
tubes are then melted closed using an automated flame sealer. Any
necessary inert atmosphere is maintained through the tube-sealing
process.
E. Calibration. Each batch of tubes is calibrated independently of other
batches. A series of standard gases are purchased or prepared by a
variety of methods, including flow dilution of gas primary standards,
permeation tubes, and diffusion tubes, or static dilution from liquid or
gas primary standards. Multiple tubes are used to determine each
calibration position, and these are then printed onto each tube in the
batch with an automated printing machine.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

B. Support Preparation. Silica, alumina, and other support materials
are chosen from the highest quality available and sieved to yield a
narrow particle size distribution. The supports are then further purified
as necessary and dried to well-defined levels depending on the
requirements of the tube reactions.

OPERATION

F.

Packaging. The tubes and their technical data sheets are packed
into labeled boxes with protective corrugated cardboard.

G. Quality Control Sampling Plan. A portion of each batch is sent to
the Honeywell's Quality Assurance Laboratory for independent QA
testing. The most widely used tubes pass the accuracy criterion of
≤±15% of length of stain. A separate set of tubes is stored in the QA
laboratory and the manufacturing facility for evaluation at later dates,
if necessary.
H. Accuracy and Precision. The accuracy is measured by testing
at least five tubes and calculating the average deviation from the
standard gas value. The precision is calculated as the standard
deviation from the average value of the five measurements. All tubes
meet the accuracy and precision criteria listed in Table 2-1:

3. OPERATION OF DETECTION TUBES & PUMPS
CAUTION:
Wear safety glasses and gloves when opening tubes
or handling open tubes with sharp edges. Failure to
wear protective equipment may lead to cuts and other
severe injuries to eyes and hands.
Always test the pump for leaks immediately before
using it for a series of measurements. Failure to
test the pump for leakage may lead to dangerously
inaccurate readings.
Avoid contact with tube contents in case of accidental
breakage. Exposure to tube contents can result in
significant health hazards.
Dispose of spent tubes according to local regulations.
Review the reaction principle and other information
listed in the Gas Detection Tube Data Sheet supplied
to identify materials that may require special disposal
procedures. (Data Sheets for all currently available
Honeywell tubes are included in Chapter 5.)

Hand Pump Description

Figure 3-1. LP-1200 Hand Pump with tube inserted.
The LP-1200 is a piston-type hand pump that draws a fixed volume of
gas, selectable at either 50 mL or 100 mL by rotating the handle. A tight
vacuum seal is formed by a greased plunger gasket. The tapered rubber
inlet accommodates a range of tube diameters for different types of tubes.
The inlet filter prevents glass pieces and dust from entering the shaft. An
end-of-flow indicator in the handle turns white when the gas sampling is
complete. A pump stroke counter is rotated to keep track of the number
of strokes completed.

Top: Standard single tube. Bottom: Pretreatment tube
connected to measurement tube with rubber connector.
1. Tube and Box. Figure 3-2 shows the key components of a Honeywell
gas detection tube. The tubes are typically packaged in a box of 10
tubes. Each box has quick instructions on the back. Some tubes
require preconditioning of the gas and are packaged with 5 pretreatment
tubes and 5 measurement tubes for a total of 5 measurements. The
concentration scale is printed on the tube and an arrow indicates the
direction in which the gas must enter. The standard number of 100 mL

strokes is indicated on one side, along with the total sample volume, the
unit of measure, the gas type, and the batch number.
2. Data Sheet. Each box is packaged with a Data Sheet that provides
detailed information on the tube performance. Figure 3-3 is an excerpt
of a typical data sheet. Complete data sheets are provided in Chapter
5 and discussed in detail in Chapters 4.2 and 4.3.

OPERATION

4. Sampling Volume and Time. Using the standard number of pump
strokes, the concentration of the gas is read from stain length directly
matched to the printed scale after the listed sampling time has elapsed.
However, the range of the tube may be extended by using a smaller
or larger sample volume. In such cases, the scale reading must be
multiplied by a Correction Factor (CF) to adjust for the different sample
size. For example, the Honeywell H-10-103-18 hydrogen sulfide tube
has a standard range of 25-250 ppm. When used with the standard
one stroke, the readings will correspond directly to the printed scale
on the tube. When used with half a stroke, a Correction Factor (CF)
of 2 is applied. An observed reading of 50 ppm then corresponds to
an actual concentration of:
50 x 2 = 100 ppm

OPERATION

5. Cross-sensitivity. Gas detection tubes are generally quite selective,
but some compounds may interfere in the measurements. The Data
Sheet lists possible interfering compounds; others may also exist. In
most cases these compounds increase the stain length, but in some
cases they decrease the stain length. The user must be aware of
potential interferences, or incorrect readings may result.

3.2.2 Testing Hand Pump For Leaks
Before a series of measurements, the pump used must be tested for leaks.
Follow this procedure:
1. Insert an unopened tube snugly into the inlet of the aspirating pump.
2. Align the red dot on the plunger with the red dot on the pump shaft.
3. Pull the plunger one full stroke and wait 2 minutes.
4. Rotate the plunger dot away from the pump shaft alignment mark,
and allow the plunger to be drawn back into the pump shaft. Keep
your hand on the shaft to keep it from snapping back too suddenly.
There are no leaks if the plunger returns to within 3 mm of its original
position. If a leak is detected, refer to Section 3.3 for maintenance
procedures.

3.2.3 Measurement Procedure
1. Break both ends of a new detection tube using the tip breaker on the
side of the pump. Insert the tube until it stops, and then back off about 1
mm before breaking off the tip. The latter procedure allows the tip to fall
into the tip reservoir at the end of the pump shaft. The reservoir can be
emptied by opening the rubber cover on the opposite side of the pump.

Break tube open at both ends.

2. In cases where a pre-tube is provided (e.g., Benzene H-10-101-01
and NOx H-10-109-20), connect the pre-tube to the measurement tube
using the rubber connector in the direction indicated on the tube.

3. Insert the measurement tube securely into the rubber pump inlet. Point
the tube arrow towards the pump (see Figs. 3-1 and 3-2).

Insert open tube with arrow pointing towards pump.

4. Select the sample volume desired and align the red dot on the plunger
with the red dot on the pump shaft. Pull the handle quickly until it
latches at ½ or 1 full stroke (50 or 100 mL) and wait for the sampling
time indicated on the data sheet to allow the air to be drawn through
the tube. The end-of-flow indicator is dark during sampling. Flow is
complete when the end-of-flow indicator returns to its white color.

Withdraw plunger sharply until it locks in place, and rotate stroke counter.

End-of-flow indicator is dark when sampling (left) and white when
sampling is complete (right).

www.honeywellanalytics.com

11

OPERATION

Wait for indicated sampling time when end-of-flow indicator turns white.

OPERATION

5. For additional pump strokes, rotate the handle ¼ turn clockwise or
counterclockwise and push it back fully without removing the tube from
the pump. Then repeat Step 4.

If additional strokes are needed, rotate plunger 90 degrees.

Push plunger back into pump shaft without removing tube.

Withdraw plunger for second stroke and repeat strokes as necessary.

Remove and read tube; return plunger and stroke counter to original position;
empty tube tip reservoir as necessary.

3.2.4 Reading Tubes
1. The concentration of the compound being measured is read directly
from the scale printed on the tube.
2. The reading is taken as the furthest distance along the tube that the
color change just becomes visible. If the leading edge is diagonal
instead of perpendicular to the axis of the tube, use the average of the
minimum and maximum values. The three tubes shown in Figure 3-4
are all read as 0.9.

Figure 3-4. Reading of various types of endpoints after sampling.
3. Read the tube immediately after gas sampling, as colors may change,
fade, or disperse with time.

5. If humidity and temperature corrections are necessary as indicated on
the Data Sheets, multiply the observed readings by the given Correction
Factor(s) (CF) to obtain the true concentration. For more details and a
theoretical discussion, see Chapter 4.3 on the effects of humidity and
temperature.
6. The user must be aware of potential interfering compounds in the tube
measurements. Interferences can be either positive or negative.
CAUTION: Always examine the data sheet and other
available information for possible interferences. Failure to
consider interferences may lead to dangerously inaccurate
readings.
www.honeywellanalytics.com

13

OPERATION

4. If a non-standard number of pump strokes was used for sampling,
multiply the reading by the Correction Factor given on the tube Data
Sheet (Chapter 5).

3.3 Maintenance of the LP-1200 Piston Hand Pump

Figure 3-5. Transparent view of LP-1200 pump
showing internal parts.
1. Tube Tip Reservoir
Remove the tube tip reservoir cover as needed to empty the broken
glass reservoir that is in the pump end fitting.
2. Pump Inlet and Filter
The rubber pump inlet can become worn with use and result in leaks.
Unscrew the pump inlet nut and replace the rubber inlet. If the inlet
is not replaced, inspect the inlet filter and replace or clean the filter
when it becomes visibly dirty or if the end-of-flow indicator on the pump
shows that the flow takes longer than recommended on the tube box.
3. Pump Mechanism
The plunger gasket may leak if it is worn or not well lubricated. To
replace the gasket:
1.
2.
3.
4.

OPERATION

Unscrew the pump end fitting on the handle side.
Pull the plunger out of the pump shaft.
Replace the gasket.
Carefully push the plunger back into the shaft. Use a fine
screwdriver or tweezers to help ease the gasket into the shaft.
5. Lubricate the inside of the shaft with vacuum grease to ensure
a good seal.
Caution: Do not overtighten the plunger gasket. It could cause
a sudden loss of vacuum.
The inlet check valve may cause leaks if worn or not lubricated.
Unscrew the end fitting on the inlet side and pull out the disk-shaped
rubber-inlet check valve. Replace as necessary, adding a light coat of
grease around the hole.

14

www.honeywellanalytics.com

Replace the outlet check valve gasket if there is resistance on the
return stroke. Using the special tool or needle-nose pliers, unscrew
the plunger tip from the plunger rod. Replace the O-ring, check valve
gasket as necessary, and reassemble. Inspect the gasket ring in the
inlet end fitting. If it is damaged, replace before screwing the end fitting
back on.

3.4 Selection Of Sampling Pump
Honeywell tubes are designed for operation with a Honeywell hand pump
for drawing samples through Honeywell tubes. Pumps from different
manufacturers may have different flow patterns or deliver different volumes,
which can cause significant errors. For example, bellows hand pumps as
supplied by MSA and Draeger have substantially different flow patterns.
Caution: Use of a sampling pump other than a Honeywell
hand pump may cause serious errors. Always test any pump
for leaks before use.

3.5 Operation And Maintenance Of Remote Sampler

1. Installation
Refer to Figure 3.7 for installation and part descriptions. Unscrew
the pump adapter nut and remove the standard rubber tube adapter
from the pump. Inspect the remote sampler to ensure that the porous
metal filter is in place, and screw the pump adapter nut attached to the
sampler into the pump. Store the standard nut and rubber adapter in a
safe place for later use.

www.honeywellanalytics.com

15

OPERATION

The Detection Tube Remote Sampler is designed for use with Honeywell hand
pumps for gas-detection tubes and adsorption tubes. The flexible Remote
Sampler allows gases to be sampled through narrow apertures, down holes,
or from other areas remotely located from the sampling pump. The sampler
is available in two lengths, 15 feet (4.5 meters), p/n H-010-3009-015, and 35
feet (11 meters), p/n H-010-3009-035.

OPERATION

2. Operation
To ensure a good seal, insert the gas detection tube into the tube
holder and twist the tube while pushing in. If the tube uses a pre-tube,
insert the pre-tube into the pre-tube holder and push the pre-tube into
the end of the standard tube holder. Secure the pre-tube holder using
the rubber buckles. Lower the extension hose to the desired position.

Figure 3-6. Installation of the remote sampling probe into
the LP-1200 hand pump.
3. Correction
Caution: In order to obtain accurate readings, the following
corrective procedures must be employed when using the 35-foot
(11-meter) remote sampler.
The 35-foot (11-meter) remote sampler causes a slight delay and
reduced reading because of the extra volume in the extension
tubing. Increase the sample time by 30 seconds for a 2-minute tube,
20 seconds for a 1.5-minute tube, and by 15 seconds for a 1-minute
tube. Then multiply the reading by 1.08 to obtain the corrected value.
Corrections for the 15-foot (4.5-meter) remote sampler are unnecessary.

4. Routine Maintenance
a. Porous Metal Filter: The metal frit filter should be replaced when it
becomes visibly dirty or if the end-of-flow indicator on the pump shows
that the flow takes longer than recommended on the tube box.
b. Leak Test: If a leak is discovered with either pump, first remove the
probe and check the pump for leaks. Then examine the tubing and
connections for the leak source, as follows:
i.

Hand Pump: Insert a sealed tube into the tube holder tightly. Pull
3 pump strokes to expel the air from inside the tubing. Pull a
fourth stroke and wait for 2 minutes. Rotate the plunger dot away
from the pump shaft alignment mark, and allow for the plunger
to be drawn back into the pump shaft. Keep your hand on the
shaft to prevent it from springing back too suddenly. If the plunger
returns to within 3 mm of its original position, there are no leaks.

4. TECHNICAL INFORMATION
4.1 Gas Detection Tube Theory Of Operation

•

Acid-base reactions These include reactions of acidic gases like HCl
and HF with bases, and reaction of alkaline vapors such as ammonia
with an acid in the tube. A dye present in the tube changes color as
the pH changes on exposure to the vapors.

•

Reduction-oxidation (Red-ox) reactions These generate an oxidized
or reduced compound, which has a different color. The chlorine tube
uses oxidative coupling of colorless o-toluidine to form an orange azodye. White di-iodine pentoxide is reduced by CO and many organic
vapors to form deep brown-colored iodine. Orange chromium (VI) is
reduced by many organic compounds to form brown or green-colored
Cr(III) compounds.

•

Ligand-exchange reactions These generate new complexes that
are more colored than the starting reagents. The most notable is the
conversion of white lead acetate to brown-black lead sulfide in the
detection of H2S. In the case of phosphine, the exchange of PH3 for
the chlorine ligand of HgCl2 releases HCl, which then causes a pHdependent dye-color change.

•

Pre-layers or Pre-tubes These are used to condition the sample
by controlling humidity, removing interferences, or transforming the
analyte to another detectable compound. Examples include drying
agents in NH3 and HCl tubes, organic removal by charcoal or oxidation
in selective CO tubes, and oxidation of NO to NO2 in the nitrogen oxides
tube.

All Honeywell detection tubes are length-of-stain types. In these tubes,
the reaction of the gas with the supported reagent is fast, compared to
the transport of the bulk air sample through the tube. Therefore, all of
the detected vapors are reacted within the tube. As a result, there is
not a strong dependence of the readings on the rate at which the gas is
sampled. However, a very high flow rate can cause some smearing to a
high reading. Conversely, low flow rates are less likely to affect the stain

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Gas detection tubes operate on a chemical reaction between the vaporphase compound and a liquid or solid detecting reagent, which is supported
on an inert matrix. The most common types of reactions are the following:

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

length, but can give low readings by concentrating the colored products in
a shorter section of the tube. In cases of flow extremes, errors outside the
standard 25% accuracy can be produced.
Honeywell tubes are calibrated using Honeywell piston hand pumps. The
flow during a single pump stroke initially rises sharply and then decays
exponentially (see Figure 4-1). The best accuracy is therefore obtained
when the flow through the tube mimics this profile.

Figure 4-1. Piston pump internal pressure pattern. Data is offset
by 2 seconds.

4.2 Explanation Of Data Sheets
The Data Sheets supplied with each box of tubes give representative
information applying to all batches. The Data Sheets include:
1. Standard and extended measurement ranges, pump strokes
required, gas volumes required, sampling times, and the detection
limit. The standard range and strokes apply to the calibration scale
printed on the tubes. The range can usually be extended to higher
or lower concentrations by reducing or increasing, respectively, the
number of pump strokes.
2. Correction Factors (CF) for conditions of pump stroke, temperature,
humidity, or gas type other than the standard conditions. The
CF is multiplied by the observed reading to obtain the corrected
concentration.

20

www.honeywellanalytics.com

3. Precision. This value is determined by measuring a standard gas
sample with at least 5 randomly chosen tubes. Precision is reported
as the standard deviation from the average of the 5 measurements.
Precision is typically ≤±15%. (See Section 2 for complete table.)

5. Humidity. The effect on the reading as a function of humidity of the
standard gas is listed. Any required Correction Factors are tabulated.
6. Temperature. The effect of temperature is determined by equilibrating
the gas sample, tube, and pump to the test temperatures, typically 0°,
10°, 25°, and 40°C (32°, 50°, 77°, and 104°F). Any required Correction
Factors are tabulated. If humidity has a measurable effect on the gas
readings, the temperature tests are performed at constant relative
humidity (not absolute humidity). Any temperature corrections should
be multiplied by any humidity corrections to obtain true readings.
7. Storage Life. Samples of tubes are stored for extended periods to
evaluate their accuracy at defined time periods to determine their
storage life. The user should store tubes in darkness at 3° to 7°C (37°
to 45°F) to maximize their shelf life. Freezing tubes (storage below
0°C, or 32°F) can damage some types and is not recommended.
8. Cross-Sensitivity. Tubes are challenged with a variety of possible
interfering gases to quantitate their relative response. Although the
tubes are highly selective, compounds that are chemically similar to
a target compound sometimes show a positive interference. Others
interfere with the measurement gas without showing a response
on their own; for example, when acidic vapors coexist with basic
vapors. Such information is listed in a separate note or column titled
“Interferes in Mixtures.” The user should know as much about the
sample environment as possible in order to make sound judgments
regarding possible interferences; otherwise inaccurate readings may
result. In some cases, a different color or pattern of the stain can clue
the user to the presence of an interfering compound.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

4. Linearity with number of pump strokes. Multiple strokes are measured
with a gas standard with concentration at the low end of the tube.
Tubes must have correlation coefficients (r2) >0.95 to be considered
linear.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

4.3 Humidity, Temperature, Pressure, and Matrix Effects
1. Humidity
Humidity has little effect on most tubes either because the reaction is
insensitive to moisture or because drying agents are added to absorb
the moisture in a pre-layer (see Figure 4-2). Humidity tends to have
the greatest effect on compounds that are highly water-soluble, such
as acids and bases. HF (hydrofluoric acid) is a notable example that
requires humidity corrections; water-adsorbing prelayers cannot be
used because they tend to be reactive with HF. The humidity effect
tends to be greater as the concentration range of the tube is lowered.
When correcting for humidity, the CF is multiplied by the reading in
addition to multiplying by any temperature correction. Any necessary
Correction Factors are listed in the individual tube data sheets. Note
that the relative humidity at the measurement temperature defines the
correction, rather than the absolute humidity.

Figure 4-2. Effect of humidity on gas detection tube readings.

2. Temperature

Figure 4-3. Effect of temperature on gas detection tube readings.
Additional factors occur in special cases. For example, pretube or prelayer
reactions are sometimes more complete at higher temperatures,
causing higher readings in the measurement layer. In some cases, the
color of the stain can change. In the water vapor H-10-120-20 tube,
the color stain is green at room temperature and a more purple color
below room temperature.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Temperature can affect gas tube readings in at least three ways. First,
as the temperature increases, the gas density decreases, causing a
tendency for the reading to decrease (see pressure effects described in
the next section). Second, as the temperature increases, the reaction
rate increases, causing the reading to be sharper and shorter. A third,
balancing effect is that adsorption is often a prerequisite for reaction.
Adsorption is weaker as temperature increases, and thus the reading
can become longer. The interplay of these competing effects results in
some stains that are longer with increasing temperature, and others
that are shorter.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

3. Pressure
Tubes change color in proportion to the mass of the compounds
reaching the reagent (i.e, the absolute concentration). Therefore, as
the pressure decreases at higher altitudes, the apparent response is
reduced because there are fewer molecules per unit volume sampled.
The conventional desired reading is in ppmv (parts per million by
volume), which is a relative concentration, such as a mole or volume
fraction (% of molecules of compound per molecules of total gas [air]),
rather than an absolute concentration.
All Honeywell tubes are calibrated at 1 atmosphere (760 mm Hg)
pressure at sea level.
• For tubes calibrated in absolute concentrations such as lbs./MMCF or
mg/m3, no pressure corrections are needed.
• For tubes calibrated in relative concentrations (e.g., ppm), correct for
pressure using one of the following equations:
Corrected reading = Observed Reading x 760 mm Hg
				Pressure (mm Hg)
Corrected reading = Observed Reading x 101.3 kPa
				Pressure (kPa)
Corrected reading = Observed Reading x 14.7 psia
				Pressure (psia)
The pressure in mm Hg can be estimated as a function of altitude using
the following equation:
P (mm Hg) = 760exp(-0.1286[alt(km)]) below 2 km
Example Correction Factors are listed in the following table as a
function of altitude. Weather changes may also affect the atmospheric
pressure, but the necessary corrections are usually <10%.

4. Matrix Gas
The matrix gas usually has little or no effect on the tube readings as long
as the gas does not chemically react with the tube reagents or measured
compound. Thus, readings in air, nitrogen, hydrogen, helium, or carbon
dioxide give essentially the same results. However, the viscosity of the
gas has a significant effect on the sampling time. Thus, for example, the
sampling time of the CO H-10-102-18 tube is about half as long in pure
hydrogen (viscosity 9.0 μPa-s) as it is in air (viscosity 18.6 μPa-s).

At a given viscosity, higher flow rates tend to give longer stains. However,
this is often compensated by higher diffusion rates to the reactive surface
in the less viscous gases, resulting in no significant effect on the readings.

Measured in dry gas; at >20% RH, no response is observed by these gases.

Note: A light orange color may form when drawing in air with no HCN present. This
color can be ignored and does not affect true HCN readings, which form a bright
pinkish-red color. The color boundary is sharp in ambient, humid air and somewhat
diffuse in very dry air.

Technical Note
Effect of Methanol & Glycols on Water Vapor Tubes
Introduction

Colorimetric tubes for water vapor are commonly used to measure the humidity of
natural gas because of their rapid response compared to instrumental methods.
To minimize corrosion and to obtain a better selling price for the gas, water vapor
levels are often reduced by passing the gas through a liquid scrubber containing
ethylene glycol or triethylene glycol. In addition, methanol is sometimes added to
the natural gas pipeline as an antifreeze so that ice does not accumulate during
cold weather. This technical note describes how to read water vapor tubes that
may have interference from these chemicals.

Resistance to Glycol Response and “Rich” Gas

Newer versions of Honeywell water vapor tubes have been improved to remove
any response to ethylene glycol or triethylene glycol. These changes were
implemented in the 6-40 lbs/MMCF tubes (p/n H-10-120-20) shipped after
November 2003 and in the 2-10 lbs/MMCF tubes (p/n H-10-120-10) shipped after
November 2004. Higher alkanes such as pentane, hexanes and octanes present
in "rich" natural gas also cause no response.

Effect of Methanol

Methanol alone causes a light green response in both H-10-120-10 and H-10-120-20
tubes when its concentration is above about 80 ppm. When water and methanol
are present together, a two-tone stain is seen. On the H-10-120-10 (2-10 lbs/MMCF)
tubes, the water forms a medium-dark green stain followed by a light green stain
for methanol (see Figure 1).

On the H-10-120-20 (6-40 lbs/MMCF) tubes, the water forms a purple stain followed
by a light green stain for methanol (see Figure 2). This light green color can be
ignored and only the darker stain read to obtain the water vapor concentration.

Figure 3. Effect of Temperature on H-10-120-20 tube.
Figure 3 shows that the color stain for water vapor is greener at higher temperatures
and tends towards purple as the temperature is lowered. Therefore the distinction
between methanol and water vapor response is clearer at lower temperatures.

6. SPECIALTY TUBES
6.1 Smoke Generating Tubes
Smoke generating tubes are designed for use in respirator fit tests. These
tubes are of the stannic chloride type required by OSHA for use in the
irritant smoke fit test procedure. The tubes can also be used for visualizing
air currents, such as in testing the performance of fume hoods or in
detecting leaks from an air duct.
1. Operation
Smoke tubes are operated by simply breaking open each end and inserting
into a rubber squeeze bulb or other pump. Air pushed through the tube
releases the stannic chloride, which decomposes on contact with moisture
in the air to form a smoke. The tubes can be re-used until no more smoke
is evolved. Rubber caps are provided to seal the tubes between uses.
2. Smoke Tube Kit
The Smoke Tube Kit (Part no. H-010-0004-000) contains the following:
• Aspirator bulb
• Tube tip breaker
• 1 Box of 6 smoke tubes
• Soft carrying case

SPECIALTY TUBES

Figure 6.1. Use of smoke tube for visualizing fume hood air
currents.

SPECIALTY TUBES

Gas Generation Tube Data Sheet
Irritant Smoke
No. H-10-123-01

Color: A white smoke is generated. The tube changes from a dark reddish brown to a
lighter reddish brown. The tube can be used repeatedly until it is spent. Keep the tube
closed between uses with the supplied rubber caps.
Reagent Type: Stannic chloride
Reaction Principle: SnCl4 + H2O → stannic oxychlorides + 2HCl

Humidity Range: 10 - 95% RH. The smoke generating life increases about 10% at 20% RH
and decreases about 10% at 80% RH (incoming air humidity).
Temperature Range: 0 - 40°C (32 - 104°F). As temperature decreases the smoke lasts
longer and is less intense.
Storage Life and Conditions: 2 years in darkness at 5 - 25°C (40 - 77°F)

CAUTIONS ON USE:
• Read, understand and comply with all labels, warnings and instructions accompanying
these tubes before use. Failure to comply may cause serious injury or death.
• For use in respirator fit testing according to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 (appendix A) and
OSHA 1910.139.
• Wear safety glasses and gloves to protect against chemical exposure and flying
glass. Wear a respirator when exposed to smoke. Vapors are corrosive to skin and
overexposure can result in serious injury or death.
• DO NOT inhale smoke directly. If inhaled enough to cause coughing, remove victim to
fresh air. If coughing persists, provide oxygen and contact a physician.
• Use only in a well-ventilated area. DO NOT use in a confined space.
• DO NOT use under a respirator fit testing hood or other enclosed space because fume
concentrations may build up to levels that can cause serious injury or death.
• Avoid contact of smoke with skin. DO NOT direct smoke stream directly at the skin
during fit testing. If smoke contacts skin for prolonged time, skin burns can result; flush
with copious amounts of water for 15 minutes and contact a physician.
• If smoke contacts eyes, immediately flush with water for 15 minutes and contact a
physician. Eyes should be kept tightly closed during fit testing.
• Use only the pump(s) and flow rates specified in OSHA CFR 1910.134 and 29 CFR
1910.139. If the pump is operated at non-specified flow rates it could increase the smoke
and fume concentrations and cause serious injury or death.
• Do not use smoke tubes in areas that may contact food or food eating areas. Ingestion
of tube contents or fodd exposed to smoke may cause serious injury or death.
• Do not use for fit testing on persons with pre-existing respiratory or related medical
conditions or are allergic to tin compounds or hydrochloric acid.
• When using for visualizing air currents, avoid exposure to persons downstream of the air flow.
Disposal: Dispose of spent or expired tubes according to local regulations. Each tube
contains 1.0 g of stannic chloride before use. Tube contents generate hydrochloric acid on
contact with water.
