Application Range
Standard Measuring Range: 100 to 2,500 ppm for n-octane.
Number of Strokes n: 2
Time for Measurement: approx. 30 s
Standard Deviation: ± 10 to 15 %
Color Change: white -> green
Ambient Operating Conditions
Temperature: 0 to 40 °C
Absolute Humidity: < 30 mg H2O / L
Reaction Principle
C8H18 + I2O5 -> I2
Cross Sensitivity
Many other petroleum hydrocarbons are indicated as well, but with different sensitivities. It is impossible to differentiate between them. Aromatics are indicated, but only with low sensitivities. Carbon monoxide is indicated in comparable concentrations with about half the sensitivity.
