However, care must be exercised to maintain the process temperature sufficiently high and stable to keep a sufficient water vapor concentration. Regardless of the inert gas and purging technique employed, a safety margin should be maintained between the LOC and normal working oxidant concentration in the enclosure. The safety margin should take into account the fluctuations occurring in the system, the sensitivity and reliability of the monitoring and control equipment, and the probability and consequences of an ignition. Where the oxygen concentration is not continuously monitored, the oxygen concentration should be designed to operate at no more than 60 percent of the LOC, or 40 percent of the LOC if the LOC is below 5 percent. If the oxygen concentration is not continuously monitored, the oxygen concentration should be checked on a regularly scheduled basis.

Chilworth has begun a series of mailings with the intent to focus on your needs. Our newly designed and researched Focus 2000 leaflets are topic and field specific. Flammability of Gas and Vapors Please feel free to contact us and request our leaflets in any of these areas. This technique has many well-known applications including the study of oxidation reactions, the determination of the heat of combustion, oxidative induction time, instantaneous power density and the determination of vapor pressure, among others. A number of CTI Clients have already sought to benefit from this service.
