CORRECTION FOR TEMPERATURE, HUMIDITY AND PRESSURE:

Instructions for Temperature: Since temperatures affect the tube, multiply the correction factor by the tube reading.

FOR SAFE OPERATION:
Carefully read this manual and the instruction manual of your Gastec Gas Sampling Pump.
WARNING: Pressure: To correct for pressure, use the formula below:
1. Use only Gastec detector tubes in a Gastec pump. Tube Reading (LB/MMCF) ×1013 (hPa)
2. Do not interchange or use non-Gastec parts or components in Gastec's detector tube and pump system. Atmospheric Pressure (hPa)
3. Using non-Gastec parts or components in Gastec's detector tube and pump system or using a non-Gastec
detector tube with a Gastec pump or using a Gastec detector tube with a non-Gastec pump may damage your MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE:

very careful when operating the tube.
CAUTION: If you do not observe the following precautions, you may suffer ① Do not leave the tube exposed to air more than 10 seconds after breaking off the tips.

2. Use this tube within the temperature range of 0 - 40°C (32 - 104°F). 5. Pull the handle all the way out until it locks at the 1 pump stroke (100mL). Wait 1.5 minutes.
3. This tube may be interfered with by the coexisting gases. Please refer to the table “INTERFERENCES” below. 6. For measurements higher than 40 LB/MMCF, prepare a fresh tube, then pull a half pump stroke.
4. The shelf life and storage condition of the tube are marked on the label of the tube box. 7. Immediately after the sampling, read the concentration at the interface of the stained-to-unstained reagent .
