Abstract

Because NIOSH evaluations of commercial gas detector tubes in past years had indicated widespread inaccuracy and other serious problems with these devices, NIOSH adopted a set of performance and quality control standards for gas detector tubes which commercial tubes must meet in order to be considered acceptable for NIOSH and OSHA use. NIOSH has also established a testing program in Morgantown, West Virginia, for evaluating commercial detector tubes and certifying those brands of tubes which meet NIOSH standards. Some of the most important of these standards are presented in this report.
