Description

Gastec P-8-M Permeation Tube Chlorine

Gastec P-8-M (also cataloged as P8M) is a certified, medium-emission Chlorine ( $\text{Cl}_2$ ) permeation tube engineered as a primary trace-gas generation standard for producing known, continuous concentrations of chlorine gas.

Positioned between the ultra-low output P-8-5 model and high-output variants, the M-suffix (Medium-emission) model delivers a higher release rate suited for calibrating mid-range industrial gas detectors, process control monitors, and colorimetric detector tubes without requiring excessively high carrier gas flow rates.

Features

Concentration range 0.5 – 53.1 ppm

Applications

Water Treatment & Sanitation Audits: Calibrating online electrochemical sensors, amperometric chlorine analyzers, and optical monitors used in municipal water treatment and industrial disinfection units.
Colorimetric Detector Tube Audits: Laboratory verification and accuracy auditing of Gastec Chlorine detector tubes (such as Gastec 8LA, 8L, and 8H series).
Industrial Safety Systems: Generating precise chlorine test gas to verify alarm setpoints and sensor responsiveness on fixed toxic gas detection loops in chlor-alkali facilities, pulp bleaching plants, and chemical manufacturing.
