Performance  
Measuring Range
0.5 to 2.5 ppm 2.5 to 60 ppm
Number of Pump Strokes
2 to 5 1
Correction Factor
1/2 to 1/5 1
Sampling Time 1 minute per pump stroke
Detecting Limit 0.2 ppm (n=5)
Colour Change White → Yellow
Reaction Principle CCl4 + I2O5 + H2S2O7 → COCl2
COCl2 + (CH3)2NC6 H4CHO→ (CH3)2NC6 H4Cl2
(CH3)2NC6 H4Cl2 + (C6H5)2NH → Yellow product
Coefficient of Variation 15% (for 2.5 to 20 ppm), 10% (for 20 to 60 ppm)
Shelf Life 1 Years
Corrections for temperature & humidity Unnecessary
Store the tubes in the refrigerator to keep at 10ºC (50ºF) or below.
