I assume you are referring to lower explosive levels of volatile compounds. This reference may help: http://www.raesystems.com/~raedocs/App_Tech_Notes/Tech_Notes/TN-156_LEL_Sensor_Correction_Factors.pdf You will need Adobe reader to open it.
i dont know the answer yet
No, they need O2 to get the catalytic beads to work.
The H2S auto explosive limit between (4.3 - 46)%,this called explosive mixture for hydrogen sulfied.
SO2 sensors have a cross sensitivity of approximately 150% to acetylene gas meaning if there are 45ppm acetylene gas in the air then your SO2 monitor will read approx 60ppm....one way to tell them apart is to have a second monitor to like a multi-gas or four-gas monitor or something that measures LEL's (lower explosive limit) values of flammable gases....If your showing 0 LEL's while getting a value for SO2 .... than it IS SO2 and NOT Acetylene. Where i work we have constant SO2 leak issues and the company i work for is always trying to blame it on acetylene to prevent WCB cases for low exposures...so I always bring a LEL measuring device with me to do SO2 gas sweeps and to eliminate the possibility of acetylene.....Also be aware that CO (Carbon Monoxide) will have a similar effect on H2S monitors....Hope this helps and be safe out there!
For a gas or vapor to be flammable or an explosion hazard it must have a concentration in air between the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) and the Upper Explosive Limit (UEL) for that particular gas or vapor.
What is a LEL mete
The lel of alcohol is 3.3% - 10% lel - 3300 ppm idlh 15000 ppm
Lel Chamel was created in 2010.
Martin Lel was born on 1978-10-29.
Katya Lel's birth name is Yekaterina Nikolayevna Chuprinina.
100% LEL is 5 %. So 10 % of it is 0.5%
L'elephant. Pronounced (lel-e-ph-ant)
As per Osha, in a confined space, less than 10 percent LEL is considered safe
