Check-standard tubes
CHK tubes offered by Markes International are supplied in packs of 10 tubes with an additional shipping blank. As CHK tubes are intended for a quick ‘check’ of the system as opposed to certification, loading levels are accurate to ±10%.
Tubes are shipped in sealed foil bags to keep them airtight and out of direct sunlight during transport. For storage, Markes recommends wrapping them in foil and storing them in airtight non-emitting containers, such as the tube container (C-325CT).
