2. Gas detector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_detector

   A gas detector can sound an alarm to operators in the area where the leak is occurring, giving them the opportunity to leave. This type of device is important because there are many gases that can be harmful to organic life, such as humans or animals. Gas detectors can be used to detect combustible, flammable and toxic gases, and oxygen depletion.

3. Instrumentation in petrochemical industries - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrumentation_in...

   The fire and gas detection system comprises local sensors to detect the presence of gas, smoke or fire. These initiate alarms in the control room. Simultaneous detection of multiple sensors initiates action to start firewater pumps and close fire dampers in enclosed spaces. The petrochemical plant may have several levels of shutdown.

4. Electrochemical gas sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemical_gas_sensor

   The magnitude of the current is controlled by how much of the target gas is oxidized at the working electrode. Sensors are usually designed so that the gas supply is limited by diffusion, and thus the output from the sensor is linearly proportional to the gas concentration. This linear output is one of the advantages of electrochemical sensors ...

5. Liquefied petroleum gas - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquefied_petroleum_gas

   LPG, vaporised and at atmospheric pressure, has a higher calorific value (46 MJ/m 3 equivalent to 12.8 kWh/m 3) than natural gas (methane) (38 MJ/m 3 equivalent to 10.6 kWh/m 3), which means that LPG cannot simply be substituted for natural gas. In order to allow the use of the same burner controls and to provide for similar combustion ...

   A DIN standard for gas cylinder valves for test pressures up to 300 bar (4,400 psi). EN 15202 [9] A European standard for LPG equipment and accessories, specifying LPG cylinder valve connections. [10] EN 417: European norm specification concerning non-refillable metallic cartridges for liquefied petroleum gases.

7. Leak detection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leak_detection

   In order to analyse the concentration distribution present in the sensor tube, a pump pushes the column of air in the tube past a detection unit at a constant speed. The detector unit at the end of the sensor tube is equipped with gas sensors. Every increase in gas concentration results in a pronounced "leak peak". [6] [25] [26]

9. Flame ionization detector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame_ionization_detector

   The design of the flame ionization detector varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, but the principles are the same. Most commonly, the FID is attached to a gas chromatography system. The eluent exits the gas chromatography column (A) and enters the FID detector’s oven (B). The oven is needed to make sure that as soon as the eluent exits ...
