MicroTubes for MTBE measurement with the Dräger X-act 7000

Dräger MicroTubes for MTBE (methyl tert-butyl ether) are short-term measurement tubes for the Dräger X-act 7000 analyser, covering 2 to 200 ppm. MTBE taints water at minute concentrations and marks fuel losses to ground.

  • Measuring range 2 to 200 ppm – matched to the concentrations that matter when you assess MTBE exposure or trace a leak.
  • Read out automatically by the X-act 7000 – the analyser evaluates the tube and shows the concentration directly, so there is no colour scale to judge by eye and no operator interpretation to defend afterwards.
  • Ready to use straight from the box – no calibration, no warm-up time and no sensor to replace; each tube carries its own batch data for the instrument to read.
  • A documented spot measurement in minutes – ideal where a permanently installed monitor would be disproportionate but a defensible reading is still needed.
