The explosion hazard of methane-air mixtures has become an increasingly serious problem in mining, and an advance assessment of methane gas potential is therefore essential for a safe and economic mine development program. As part of its coal mine health and safety program, the Bureau of Mines has developed a simple, inexpensive test to measure the methane content of coal samples obtained from exploration cores. The gas content of coal per unit weight as determined by the direct method test can be used as a basis for a preliminary estimate of mine ventilation requirements, and to determine if degasification of the coalbed in advance of mining should be considered. The results of 583 direct method tests are summarized in tabular form. These results include data on the gas content of 125 coalbeds in 15 states.
