Uniphos Gas Detection Tubes

Uniphos Gas Detection Tubes allow you to quickly and cost effectively sample an environment to detect the presence of a specific toxic or flammable gas.

The Uniphos range covers more than 200 varieties of tubes, allowing the detection of around 500 different target gases. Uniphos manufacture tubes of both the thin and thick varieties, making them completely interchangeable with other tubes and hand pumps available from all major manufacturers.

Entec carries a local stock of the most popularly demanded detector tubes, and our objective is to deliver the best service and price in the New Zealand market


      How do gas detection tubes work?

      Gas detection tubes require two basic components…

      • a tube (typically supplied in packs of 10), and
      • a sampling pump

      The pump is very simple to operate. With a new tube inserted into the pump, a sample of the atmosphere being tested is drawn into the tube under vacuum. A reaction inside the tube occurs, producing a coloured mark. The coloured mark is then compared against a scale, to determine the concentration of the target gas within the sampled atmosphere. The tube is then disposed of.

      Interchangeable with other manufacturers

      Uniphos offers a full range of gas detection tubes to be interchangeable with those offered by other manufacturers. Our tubes come in both thin (Drager) and thick (Rae, Kitigawa, Gastec) versions.
