Abstract
A fluid-flow contaminant indicator includes a container having a fluid-flow path having an upstream region and a downstream region. A colorimetric indicator, disposed in the fluid-flow path, has a surface adapted to change color when exposed to a contaminant of interest. The colorimetric indicator has at least one hole passing there through such that the fluid-flow path extends through the hole(s) in the colorimetric indicator. A fluid-impervious mask is adhered to all of the colorimetric indicator's surface except for a region of the surface that is adjacent to the hole(s) in the colorimetric indicator wherein this region is exposed to the upstream region of the fluid-flow path.
