The Kitagawa Gas Detector Tube System from Euro-Gas (UK) is used by industries worldwide to detect gases and vapours, simply and reliably, without the need for calibration effort or power supply. It’s as easy to use as 1-2-3! It is Lightweight, compact and easy to carry; Simple to operate for all personnel; An accurate reading obtained in a few minutes; Can be used in flammable atmospheres; Needs no calibration or power supply.

The Komyo Kitagawa Gas Detector Tube System is an accurate and cost effective spot gas detector sampling system, offering over 300 gas detector tubes, from Ammonia to Xylene.

The System consists of a pump and glass detector tubes. The tubes are filled with an absorbent material and chemical reagent which, when in the presence of the target gas, produces a colour stain along the tube. A calibration scale is printed on the tube to enable the user to easily match the length of the colour stain to the concentration of the gas present.

The Kitagawa system is multi-functional and can be used formeasuring dissolved substances in solutions, compressed breathing air testing and even blood screening in criminal investigations. Extra apparatus for the AP-20 pump offers remote testing in confined spaces and as no electricity is required, there is no added risk of explosion. The simplest tried and tested solutions are often the best.
