Hydrogen Cyanide Detection Tubes 0.5a (0.5 - 50 ppm)

For short-term measurements more than 160 Draeger-Tubes are available to measure the spot concentrations of specific gases. Measurement usually takes between 4 seconds and 15 minutes. The tubes are used either manually with the Draeger-Tube Accuro Pump or automatically with the Draeger X-act 5000.

A wide range of different gases and vapors can be detected and measured, such as:

  • Determining and measuring concentration peaks
  • Measuring personal exposure in the inhalation area
  • Detecting leaks in pipelines, gas installations etc.
  • Air analysis in sewers, shafts and confined spaces

Hydrogen Cyanide Detection Tubes 0.5a (0.5 - 50 ppm)

Standard Measuring Range: 0.5 to 5 ppm 5 to 50 ppm
Number of Strokes (n): 10 2
Time for Measurement: approx. 2.5 min ca. 0.5 min
Standard Deviation: 10 to 15 %
Color Change: yellow ?> red
Temperature: 0 to 40 C
Absolute Humidity: < 40 mg H2O / L
Reaction Principle: a) HCN + HgCl2 --> HCl
b) HCl + methyl red --> red reaction product
Cross Sensitivity: 30 ppm hydrogen sulfide, 300 ppm ammonia, 40 ppm sulfur dioxide, 20 ppm nitrogen dioxide and 1,000 ppm hydrogen chloride do not affect the indication.


Hydrogen sulfide causes the pre-layer to discolor to dark brown.


Ammonia concentrations above 300 ppm can cause the indication at the beginning of the indicating layer to discolor back to yellow.


Acylonitrile up to a concentration of 1,000 ppm does not affect the indication.


It is impossible to measure hydrogen cyanide in the presence of phosphine.
