Gastec 251S2-20 Activated Charcoal Tube

The Gastec 251S2-20 Activated Charcoal Tube is a high-capacity adsorption media designed for the reliable collection of non-polar organic solvent vapors in industrial environments. Engineered for professional air sampling, this tube features a substantial 600mg charging quantity to ensure maximum capture efficiency and sample stability for laboratory evaluation.

Description

Gastec 251S2-20 Activated Charcoal Tube Effective air quality management requires a collection media that can handle diverse industrial conditions without compromising sample integrity. The Gastec 251S2-20 Activated Charcoal Tube utilizes premium grade activated carbon to strip non-polar contaminants from the air stream through physical adsorption. When integrated into a professional sampling pump system, it effectively traps solvent molecules within its highly porous structure.

The competitive advantage of this model is its high adsorbent mass. With 600mg of activated charcoal in a single layer, the Gastec 251S2-20 Activated Charcoal Tube offers a significantly higher surface area compared to standard dual-layer tubes. This makes it particularly effective for monitoring environments with high vapor loads or for extended sampling shifts, providing enough capacity to prevent breakthrough. Its robust 7.5 x 105mm glass construction ensures durability during field use and compatibility with most industrial tube holders.
