Most instruments used for measuring the explosibility of fuel/air atmospheres use catalytic oxidation as a method of measurement. The detailed mechanism of this method has been examined and equation describing the output from these devices have been derived. The output V (LEL) at the lower explosive limit of a fuel has the general form V (LEL)= KD 12 δH [LEL], where D 12, ΔH, and [LEL] are respectively the diffusion coefficient, heat of oxidation, and the lower explosive limit of the fuel in air, and K is a constant. Calculations have been made which enable the responses to explosive gas/air mixtures to be predicted and correction factors to be derived for practical devices. A new method for the measurement of explosiveness is discussed based on the empirical correlation between the heat of oxidation of the fuel and its lower explosive limit.
