The device determines the quantity of hydro steam, oil,<br />

CO 2 , CO and other contaminations in the air flow<br />

supplied by high-pressure compressors or compressed<br />

air at a max. pressure of 300 bar. The pressure is<br />

limited by a pressure reducer. The air to be monitored is<br />

tested by means of a flowmeter. The compressed air is<br />

supplied through a special direct scanning tube, which<br />

analyzes the quantity. The monitoring of the breathable<br />

air quality is performed in accordance with DIN <strong>EN</strong> 12021.<br />

All components of the Aerotest Navy are stored in a handy<br />

carrying case.<br />

2.9 Proposed Strategy for Determining Gas Hazards<br />

The measurement of air pollution presents a special challenge especially when encountered<br />

at hazardous waste sites, fires, or transportation accidents involving chemicals. In this case, a<br />

risk analysis is hindered by the possible existence of several contaminants in the air.<br />

In addition to portable gas detection instruments, Dräger-<strong>Tubes</strong> and Dräger Chips can be<br />

used for on-site measurements and to assist in the identification of gaseous substances.<br />

Because of the diverse possibilities regarding the substances, it is not possible to only use<br />

a single Dräger-Tube or Chip to determine all the imaginable combinations of gas dangers.<br />

Taking into account certain considerations and experiences, a suggestion for a<br />

measurement strategy has been developed. With this strategy, the time to make a first<br />

classification of the most important substance groups can be considerably shortened.<br />

Of course, every suggestion is more or less the best possible compromise, when the<br />

practicability is complicated by a growing uncertainty.<br />

Multiple test sets<br />

For these special applications, Dräger has developed multiple test sets for carrying out<br />

simultaneous measurements. Each set consists of five specially calibrated tubes assembled<br />

in a rubber fixture. At this time there are two sets available for the measurement of<br />

inorganic combustion gases (Dräger Simultaneous Test-Set I and II) and a third set, for the<br />

measurement of organic substance groups (Dräger Simultaneous Test-Set III).<br />

The use of such multiple measurement devices has substantial advantages compared with<br />

individual Dräger-Tube measurements:
