Learning Panel – Key Concepts
LEL/UEL Flammability Range
The Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) is the minimum gas concentration that can sustain combustion. Below LEL = too lean; above UEL (Upper Explosive Limit) = too rich. Detection at 20% LEL provides early warning before reaching flammable range.
TLV Toxic Exposure Limits
TLV-TWA (8-hour time-weighted average) indicates safe daily exposure. STEL (Short-Term Exposure Limit, 15 min) prevents acute effects. IDLH (Immediately Dangerous to Life/Health) requires immediate escape. All expressed in ppm.
SENSOR Selection Philosophy
Toxic gases use Electrochemical sensors (highly specific, ppm range). Combustible gases use Catalytic Bead (Pellistor) sensors (%LEL). Photoionization Detectors (PID) suit VOCs. Match sensor to gas density, application zone, and hazard type.
