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!

How much sulfur dioxide is in the air?

The concentration of sulfur dioxide in the air can vary depending on location, time, and source of emissions. Generally, levels of sulfur dioxide in the air are measured in parts per billion (ppb) or micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3). Regulatory agencies set limits for acceptable levels of sulfur dioxide in the air to protect human health and the environment.


Sulfur dioxide Lewis structure?

The Lewis structure of sulfur dioxide has two double bonds between the sulfur and oxygen atoms. The S in the center has two double dashes, each connected to an O. The S then has one set of double dots and each O has two sets of double dots.


What is the chemical formula for sulfur dioxide with water vapor?

This is not one formula, but a complete set of the chemical reaction equations:SO2 + H2O [H2SO3] HSO3− + H+ (Sulfurous acid)Ka = 1.54×10−2; pKa = 1.81.


What is the TLV for sulfur di oxide emission at work place?

The TLV (Threshold Limit Value) for sulfur dioxide emission in the workplace is typically set by occupational health and safety agencies. In the United States, the TLV for sulfur dioxide is 2 parts per million (ppm) as a time-weighted average during an 8-hour workday. Employers are required to ensure exposure levels remain below this limit to protect worker health.


How do you separate sulfur and sand and iron fillings?

you can easily remove iron with magnet. then if you do not care about the sulfur you can set it on fire, and what is left will be pure sand. If you do care about sulfur i don't think i can help you.

Is there sulfur in beer or rum?

Sulfur dioxide may be present in trace amounts in beer and rum as a byproduct of fermentation. The levels are usually very low and well within safe limits set by regulatory bodies. Sulfur dioxide is also commonly used as a preservative in certain beers and rums.

Is it safe to use sulfur dioxide used food?

Some foods are treated with sulfur dioxide as a preservative measure. It's not done as much as it once was, and for most people it doesn't appear to cause much of a problem... though a few people do seem to be allergic.

Why are sensors helpful?

Why are sensors helpful? That's my question.Well! Sensors help detect. If you have set a alarm light to get on when someone opens your pencil case that's sensor.


What is the three dimensional shape for acetylene?

How a weight sensors works?

Weight sensors work in a very simple way. Weight sensors can detect how much weight is being set on top of them much like a scale.
