Gas Detector Calibration: Crowcon Detection Instruments: Gas Facts (898 words) |
 | Most flammable gas detectors are calibrated 0-100% LEL methane or 0-100% LEL pentane and SECTION 4 describes the use of CORRECTION FACTORS for measuring other gases and vapours which are known to be present. |
 | Pellistor sensors are about twice as sensitive to methane as to pentane and these two calibrations are therefore convenient to use. |
 | Pentane and other flammable liquids, which readily vaporise can be used to produce dilute mixtures with air by using plastic (Tedlar) bags available from Crowcon. |
