When working in confined spaces like silos or tanks, gas detectors are essential for protecting yourself and others. The Draeger X-pid 9500/9500+ monitors the surrounding air for benzene, butadiene and other easily volatile organic compounds, identifying even trace levels of carcinogenic substances. Draeger X-pid® 9500+ Literature
Draeger X-pid 9500 / 9500+ - Selective measurement of VOCs in gas mixtures - Ideal for frequent testing of toxic and carcinogenic substances - Laboratory-quality results even at very low concentrations - Benzene detection from 5 ppb (X-pid 9500+) / 50 ppb (X-pid 9500) - No consumables required per measurement
Cost savings - Because no consumables are used to take measurements, operating costs can be reduced. For users with high measurement needs, the Dräger X‑pid 9500/9500+ quickly pays for itself. For example, it doesn’t require pre-tubes, which also makes it easier to use and helps prevent user errors. On the basis of 200 measurements per year, the Dräger X‑pid 9500/9500+ is generally more cost-effective than comparable measurement systems.
Two modes for an efficient measurement strategy - “Seeker” mode is a broadband measurement for pre-testing and localising measurement points. It allows continuous, direct-reading measurement of the total concentration of all VOCs present. “Seeker” mode is similar to using a single-PID gas measurement device. “Analysis” mode allows selective measurement for monitoring specific toxic compounds. Pre-defined target compounds can be precisely measured in seconds. “Analysis” mode is similar to gas chromatography analyses conducted in the laboratory.
Up to 90% time savings - The Dräger X‑pid 9500/9500+ requires no preparation and is ready to use after a brief start-up phase. Selective measurement in “Analysis” mode takes only a few seconds. A benzene measurement starts with the push of a button and is completed in only 30 seconds. After another 60 seconds, the device is ready to measure for benzene again. Compared with other detection systems, the Dräger X‑pid 9500/9500+ saves considerable time and enables further monitoring to be undertaken. Simultaneous measurement of other compounds, like benzene and butadiene, further reduces testing times.
Low detection limits - Concentrations of toxic compounds in the air at work sites must not exceed threshold limit values. Mandatory time-weighted averages in the low ppb to ppm range need to be performed for carcinogenic vapors like benzene, acrolein or other. The Dräger X‑pid 9500 is optimized for measuring in this concentration range and detects benzene starting at 50 ppb. The X-pid 9500+ variation contains an improved calculation model that allows lower detection limits (benzene starting at 5ppb).
