Evaluation of Portable, Direct-Reading Combustible Gas Meters.

Abstract

The USAF Occupational and Environmental Health Laboratory (USAF OEHL) evaluated eight direct-reading, portable combustible gas meters. The evaluation included determination of linearity of response to a calibration gas, response to several different combustible gases and vapors, including JP-4, and the instrument's capability to measure both fire safe limits (below 20% LEL) and levels of health consequence (below 5% LEL). Recommendations of combustible gas meters for specific application can be made based upon the evaluation results. (Author)
