Safety professionals and industrial hygienists in petroleumrefineries must face a unique air monitoring problem. Refineriesincorporate many production processes that handle a largenumber of substances, and many times the actual monitoringmust be conducted by non-safety personnel. Detector tubesystems offer the perfect solution: A wide range of target gasesin an easy-to- use device. A list of detector tubes for petroleumrefineries appears on the reverse side. See our Tube SelectionGuide for a complete listing.

The Simplest, Most Reliable SystemThe Sensidyne/Kitagawa field-proven detector tube systemfeatures a piston type volumetric sampling pump for ruggedreliability and repeatable stroke volumes. The locking handleassures proper volume and eliminates the partial pump strokespossible with other systems. The pump has no limiting orifice,which eliminates the problem of lost or plugged orifices. Directreading detector tubes for about 300 applications feature printedcalibration scales on length-of-stain tubes. There are no ampulesto break and no expensive color readers to fail. Also, many testsrequire only one pump stroke. Sensidyne/Kitagawa is proud tooffer the simplest detector tube system available.

New Benzene Selective Low Range TubeA unique low range detector tube for benzene, No. 118SE,utilizes an innovative pretreatment tube to eliminate interferencesfrom up to 500 ppm of other hydrocarbons. Confined space entrytesting of petroleum tanks no longer poses the problem ofinterference due to residual hydrocarbon vapor. Tube No. 118SEcan detect benzene at OSHA’s permissible exposure limit (PEL)of 1 ppm (8 hrs) or 5 ppm STEL, with minimal interference fromcoexisting hydrocarbons. It has a lower detection limit of 0.2ppm. No other benzene selective detector tube is moresensitive.

Qualitative Tubes for Confined Space Entry and Hazmat ResponseSensidyne/Kitagawa offers qualitative detector tubes for fast“go/no-go” testing for confined space entry and hazardousmaterials spill response. The Organic Gas Checker tube No.186 utilizes only one pump stroke at 20 seconds to detectmore than 30 organic compounds with a single colorchange. Organic Gas Qualitative tube No. 186B includes fouranalyzer layers that will detect more than 40 organic com-pounds using two tubes at a single pump stroke and 30seconds each. The four-section color pattern provides a fin-gerprint to categorize the compounds into chemical familiesfor further identification using a special color chart. The In-organic Gas Qualitative tube No. 131 similarly uses five colorlayers to detect more than 20 compounds including numer-ous members of the organic amines family. It operates atone pump stroke in 30 seconds and utilizes a special colorchart to categorize the compounds into identified subgroups.

Total Hydrocarbon TubeGeneral Hydrocarbons tube 187S responds to hydrocarbonsfrom butanes and higher to include mixtures like mineralspirits and kerosene. The tube operates at one or two pumpstrokes and provides a range of 50 to 1400 ppm as hexane.It is an ideal companion to use with selective benzene tubes118SB and 118SE to determine when interference controlcapacities might be exceeded. Other tubes for hydrocarbonsare available including those calibrated for propane, butane,hexane and gasoline.

• New benzene detector tube measuresPEL levels without interferenceproblems.

• Qualitative detector tubes simplifyconfined space entry testing andHazmat response.

• Total hydrocarbon tube saves costsby reducing sampling time.

• Rugged and reliable piston pumpminimizes chance for user error.
