Specification for open path apparatus for the detection of combustible or toxic gases and vapours - Part 1: General requirements and test methods
04-26-1999
10-01-1999
This European Standard specifies general requirements for the construction and testing of apparatus for the detection and measuring of combustible or toxic gases or vapours in ambient air by measuring the spectral absorption by the gases or vapours over extended optical paths, ranging typically from one meter to a few kilometers. Such apparatus measures the integral concentration of the absorbing gas over the optical path in units such as LEL meter for combustible gases and ppm meter for toxic gases. NOTE 1: Actual values of concentration can only be deduced where it can be established that the concentration is uniform over the optical path, as for example in very short optical paths (
