Filter tubes
 
Benzene Pre filter tubes absorb many VOC gases however the Benzene content passes through. The gas 
sample must be drawn through the tube to condition it before the absorption level becomes stable. Please 
see the leaflet supplied with the pack of tubes for maximum absorption levels. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Important 
During the Benzene measurement, the Yellow/Orange indicating layer turns brown or green in the presence 
of other aromatic hydrocarbons and/or benzene hydrocarbons. If this colouring is longer than the ¾ marking, 
the filter capacity of the tube is not sufficient anymore and the Benzene display may not be accurate.
