Gastec 4HM Hydrogen Sulphide Detector Tube

 4HM Tube is a gas detector which performs measurements using a gas sampling pump to detect Hydrogen Sulphide parts per million (ppm)

Feature :

• On-site measurements can be performed easily by anybody, anytime and anywhere, in a short time
• Easy-to-check direct reading is possible due to the calibrated scale directly printed on the tube
• An extensive measuring range can be obtained by adjusting the sampling volume
• In order to assure high precision, each production lot is tested and calibrated independently, Each detector tube has its own quality control number printed on the tube
• Long shelf-life with excellent long-term stability

Performance :

Measuring range	25 to 50 ppm	50 to 800 ppm	800 to 1600 ppm
