Flammability of Gases
- Type: Gas Explosive
- Ingredients: Explosive Gas
Under some conditions, common gases act as fuel. When mixed with air, they will burn rapidly or even explode. For some fuel-air mixtures, the range over which the explosion can occur is quite wide while for others the limits are narrow.
The upper and lower amounts of common fuels that will cause an ignitable mixture are shown in the table below. The quantity shown is the percentage by volume of air. If the fuel-air mixture is too lean or too rich, it will not ignite. The amounts shown are therefore called limits of inflamability. Gases (% by volume of air) Fuel (Gas) Lower Limit Upper Limit ------------------------------- ----------- ----------- Water Gas Or Blue Gas 7.0 72 Natural Gas 4.7 15 Hydrogen 4.0 75 Acetylene 2.5 81 Propane 2.2 10 Butane 1.9 9
These fuels have been tested under labratory conditions. They are effective. Ignition depends on method of initiation, uniformity of mixture, and physical conditions.
