Gastec Gas Sampling Pumps

The Gastec detector tube system comprises a handheld Gastec sampling pump and Gastec detector tubes.

The Gastec pump operates on a piston principle:

  • Simple, always ready to use
  • Handle lockable in full stroke position to draw 100 ml of air or half stroke position to draw 50 ml of air
  • Flow finish indicator ensures precise sample volumes
  • Contoured shape and soft elastomer-covered body for a secure, comfortable grip
  • Weighs only 270 g
  • Integral tube tip breaker and tip storage bin

The gas sampling pump is also available with a counter, which will count the number of samples taken (up to a maximum of 10), eliminating the risk of miscounting.

Gastec Toxic Gas Detection System

The prime importance in the case of emergency response to chemical spills, or investigation after a fire, is to quickly determine any gases present and their concentrations. With the Gastec Toxic Gas Detection System this can be accomplished quickly, easily and accurately on the site, using 12 types of Gastec Detector Tubes and the Gas Sampling Pump. As the substances to be measured could be hazardous, adequate precautions should be taken to ensure safety.

  • Fast and easy determination of pollutants
  • Portable - no power supply required
  • Minimal training required - follow the simple flowchart
  • Cost effective
  • Minimal maintenance compared to electronic detection systems

  • Measurement Procedure

    1. Confirm the air current direction using the Smoke Tester Kit
    2. Connect the Extension Hose if necessary, to take a sample from a hard-to-reach area or from a manhole
    3. Break off both ends of a Polytec I (Part Number 810-107) tube and connect it to the pump (or to the end of the extension hose if used)
    4. Pull out the handle of the pump, wait for the predetermined sampling time, and examine the tube for colour changes
    5. Proceed with the measurements by using the 12 types of detector tubes, as directed by the Toxic Gas Determination Flowchart
    6. Finally, determine the pollutants from the measurement results

Gastec Injection Type Tubes

This uses an injector tube to sample gas samples, which is inserted into a detector tube to perform measurements. Detector tubes used for high concentration carbon dioxide and propane gases apply this feed-in method.

Tubes are supplied in packs for 10 tests. Tubes must be used with the appropriate sringe - please contact SKC.

Gastec Pyrotec Tubes

The Gastec Pyrotec Tubes require the additional use of the portable Pryotec Pyrolyzer (model 810-840 unless specified otherwise) accessory to quickly, accurately and quantitatively measure fluorochlorocarbons, nitroparaffins, anesthetic gases, and other hard-to-detect compounds on-the-spot, as listed in the table below. The sample enters the Pyrotec tube where it is thermally decomposed into substances that react chemically with the reagent to give the resultant colour change.

The Pyrolyzer is not suitable for use in hazardous atmospheres.

Tubes are supplied in packs of 10 unless noted otherwise (shown by + or ~).
