GASTEC Carbon Disulphide (CS2) Detector Tubes – Multiple Measurement Ranges

GASTEC Carbon Disulphide (CS2) Detector Tubes

GASTEC Carbon Disulphide Detector Tubes provide a convenient, direct-reading method for measuring carbon disulphide (CS2) concentrations in air and gas samples. Designed for use with compatible GASTEC gas sampling equipment, these colorimetric detector tubes allow professionals to perform rapid on-site CS2 measurements across a broad range of concentrations.

With available measurement ranges extending from 0.1–8.1 ppm to 20–4,000 ppm, GASTEC offers multiple Carbon Disulphide Detector Tube options for applications ranging from low-level industrial hygiene and workplace air monitoring to higher-concentration industrial and process measurements.

Choose the Carbon Disulphide Detector Tube for Your Application

GASTEC offers multiple Carbon Disulphide Detector Tubes designed for different CS2 concentration ranges. Select the appropriate GASTEC product number based on the anticipated carbon disulphide concentration and the requirements of your sampling application.

GASTEC Product Number	Carbon Disulphide Measurement Range
13M	20–4,000 ppm
13	0.63–100 ppm
13L	0.1–8.1 ppm

 

Direct-Reading Colorimetric CS2 Measurement

GASTEC detector tubes use chemical detection reagents that respond to the target gas as a measured volume of sample is drawn through the detector tube system. The resulting color-change layer provides a visual indication that can be used to determine carbon disulphide concentration according to the calibrated scale and measurement instructions for the selected GASTEC product number.

This direct-reading approach provides a practical solution for spot measurements, workplace assessments, industrial hygiene surveys, process checks, environmental investigations, and maintenance applications where CS2 concentrations need to be evaluated directly at the sampling location.

Carbon Disulphide Tubes for Low to High Concentrations

For applications requiring lower-level measurements, the GASTEC 13L (0.1–8.1 ppm) provides the lowest measurement range in this product selection. This option is useful when relatively small concentrations of carbon disulphide are expected and a more sensitive measurement range is required.

The GASTEC No. 13 (0.63–100 ppm) provides a broader intermediate range that overlaps lower concentrations while extending measurement capability to 100 ppm. For substantially higher CS2 concentrations, the GASTEC 13M (20–4,000 ppm) extends measurement capability into the thousands-of-ppm range.

Important Range Selection Information

Carbon disulphide concentrations can vary significantly between applications, making selection of the appropriate detector tube important. Individual GASTEC product numbers may have different sampling procedures, sample volumes, pump strokes, sampling times, temperature considerations, pretreatment requirements, interfering gases, and correction factors. Always follow the instructions supplied with the specific GASTEC Carbon Disulphide Detector Tube being used.
