GASTEC Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) Detector Tube for Low Humidity

GASTEC Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) Detector Tube 14R for Low Humidity

The GASTEC 14R Hydrogen Chloride Detector Tube provides a direct-reading method for measuring hydrogen chloride (HCl) concentrations under low-humidity sampling conditions. Designed for use with compatible GASTEC gas sampling equipment, the 14R colorimetric detector tube provides a measurement range of 50–5,000 ppm HCl.

This specialized detector tube is intended for applications where low humidity is an important sampling condition and conventional hydrogen chloride measurement methods may not be appropriate. Its broad ppm range makes the GASTEC 14R suitable for higher-concentration HCl measurements in industrial, process, maintenance, and field-testing applications.

GASTEC Product Number	Target Gas	Measurement Range
14R	Hydrogen Chloride (HCl)	50–5,000 ppm

Designed for Hydrogen Chloride Testing in Low Humidity

The GASTEC 14R is specifically designed for hydrogen chloride measurements under low-humidity conditions. This makes it an important option when selecting an HCl detector tube for dry or low-moisture gas streams and other applications where humidity conditions must be considered as part of the measurement procedure.

Because environmental and sampling conditions can affect colorimetric gas measurements, users should follow the instructions supplied with the GASTEC 14R regarding humidity conditions, sampling volume, pump strokes, measurement time, temperature, correction factors, and potential interfering substances.

Direct-Reading Colorimetric HCl Measurement

GASTEC detector tubes use chemical detection reagents that respond to the target gas as a measured volume of sample is drawn through the tube. The resulting color-change layer provides a visual indication that can be interpreted according to the calibrated tube scale and the specific operating instructions for the GASTEC 14R.

This direct-reading approach provides a practical solution for obtaining on-site hydrogen chloride measurements without requiring an electronic sensor at the detector tube. It is well suited for spot measurements, process checks, maintenance investigations, industrial hygiene assessments, and field testing where HCl concentrations need to be evaluated directly at the sampling location.
