MicroTubes for methylene chloride measurement with X-act 7000

Dräger MicroTubes for methylene chloride (CH₂Cl₂, dichloromethane) are short-term measurement tubes for the Dräger X-act 7000 analyser, covering 10 to 500 ppm. It is a suspected carcinogen and its heavy vapour collects in pits and tanks.

  • Measuring range 10 to 500 ppm – matched to the concentrations that matter when you assess methylene chloride 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.
