DETECTION TECHNIQUES FOR HAZARDOUS VAPORS OF ELEMENTAL PROPELLANTS.
Abstract
It is the objective of this report to determine various detection techniques for hazardous vapors of elemental propellants; viz., fluorine and hydrogen. These techniques must be capable of determining the TLV of fluorine and the LEL of hydrogen under field conditions. The other major criteria on which the evaluation was based is that final instrumentation must be simple, have maximum ruggedness, and have the capability of detecting all desired constituents. Three detection systems for fluorine were investigated that meet the requirements of sensitivity, simplicity and ruggedness. These are fluorescent quenching, clathrate and chemiluminescence. Instrumental development is virtually completed on these techniques. (Author)
