Airtec tube - Compressed breathing air detector tubes
Airtec Tube for Cylinder / Compressed Breathing Air / Air Line Test.
Airtec tubes are a convenient and simple system for testing of a gas cylinder, compressed breathing air and air line. Industrial operations often produce, or are performed in the presence of harmful airborne contaminants. When self contained breathing apparatus or other devices are used for respiratory protection, the quality of the breathing air requires special attention. Contaminants entering the compressor or contaminants generated by the compressor or cylinder can be harmful to the worker and the respiratory equipment.
Measurement procedure:
![]() |
1.Install a reducer pressure with gauge and flow metre to a cylinder, compressor or air line and adjust the flow metre the required setting. | |
| 2.Break tips off a fresh detector tube in the tube tip breaker and insert a tube into a tube holder. |
