| Sampling Time | 2 minutes per pump stroke | ||
| Detecting Limit | 0.25 ppm (n=5) | ||
| Colour Change | White → Brownish gray | ||
| Reaction Principle | C6H6 + I2O5 + H2S2O7 → I2 | ||
| Coefficient of Variation | 20% (for 1 to 5 ppm), 15% (for 5 to 20 ppm) | ||
| Shelf Life | 3 Years | ||
| Corrections for temperature & humidity | Unnecessary | ||
| Store the tubes at cool and dark place. | |||
Possible coexisting substances and their interferences (NOTE)
| Substance | Concentration | Interference | Change colour by itself to |
| Hexane | 50 ppm | No | No |
| Toluene | 100 ppm | No | No |
| Xylene | 150 ppm | No | No |
Aromatic hydrocarbons other than benzene are trapped in the brown layer in the pretreatment tube. If the pretreatment reagent is entirely consumed (whole brown layer turns to dark brown), a higher reading will be given. |
