Failure in doing accurate LEL monitor will bring to a catastrophic condition. The same condition will also happen when you use improperly calibrated LEL meter or LEL detector, which is used to measure LEL percentage of combustible gas or vapor in the atmosphere.
Before doing LEL monitor or operating LEL meter, you should know exactly the following facts. They will help you how to do LEL monitor properly. (more…)

There are many common combustible gases found in chemical plant. These combustible gases have one similarity. They can be ignited when their concentration in air are within their flammability limits.
What are flammability limits? Flammability limits or commonly known as explosive limits are defined as concentration of combustible gas in mixture with air in which they can be ignited and exploded in the presence of source of ignition.
The lowest concentration of a combustible gas in mixture with air where it still can be ignited is called by Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) or Lower Flammable Limit (LFL). Whereas, the highest concentration of a combustible gas in mixture with air where it still can be ignited is called by Upper Explosive Limit (UEL) or Upper Flammable Limit (UFL). (more…)
