User Manual
Results from under-reported or over-reported chemical levels can cre-
ate an unsafe condition. The Thermal Ring increases safety and reduc-
es risk by allowing you to accurately correct for temperature changes 
on-the-spot,  without  additional  equipment  like  alcohol  and  infrared 
thermometers.
Because  detector  tubes  are  calibrated  at  a  specific  temperature,  in-
creases  or  decreases  from  this  temperature  can  impact  the  reading. 
The instructions that come with each pack of detector tubes advise if 
there is a need for temperature correction. (For a complete list of tubes, 
and indication of those needing temperature correction, consult Gas-
tec’s Detector Tube List or the Gastec Handbook, both available from 
Nextteq, LLC.) The instructions will provide either a table with correc-
tion factors or a table listing true concentrations based on the ambient 
temperature. For accurate results, ensure the tube has been at ambient 
temperature for 15 minutes before testing. 
The Thermal Ring, which is af-
fixed to all new Gastec GV-100 
pumps, is perfectly calibrated 
to  work  with  the  Gastec  Gas 
Sampling  Pump  and  Detec-
tor Tube Systems. Please see 
other side for instructions on 
affixing the Thermal Ring and 
warning  label  to  a  GV-100 
pump in the field.
