Hydrogène

Method: IRSST - 9-C
Sampling device:
Parameters:
Flow rate: -
TWA sampling volume: -
STEL sampling volume: -
Principle: Combustible gas detector (DRI-EX)
Remarks: A DRI is used for measuring combustible gases in terms of percentage of their lower explosive limit. In the paper version of the sampling guide, refer to the note about simple asphyxiants. The reference method corresponds to the calibration of the direct-reading instrument (DRI).
