PART THREE: THE CHECKMATE METHOD
3.1 THE DETECTION TUBES
| At the heart of the CHECKMATE system is the detection tube. Each tube is septum sealed and made of heavy wall Pyrex with fire embossed graduations. All materials are sterile analytic grade compounds packed under dry nitrogen gas. |
|
| Septum ends will
automatically be pierced when fully assembled, then self
seal upon disassembly. Exposure to counter indicating
atmospheric moisture is nil by this process. Indicating layer will react with a graphic color change. The reacted layer is read against a scale calibrated to ARI standards, or compared against a color chart. A detector tube can only be used once even if the test is negative. |
3.2 THE METERING DEVICE
| The CHECKMATE BODY is a precision engineered in-line gas sampling device built to endure a lifetime of usage. | ||||
