  Explosimeter - Patent 4348888
Conventional explosimeters which determine explosibility are usually specific to one gas; combustible gases widely different in chemical structure give different readings at the lower explosive limit.
It is always convenient and often essential for an explosimeter to be portable.
1 is a schematic diagram of two-part explosimeter according to the invention;

  Explosimeter - Wikipedia
Explosimeter, auch genannt EX-Messgeräte oder kurz EXmeter, können explosionsfähige Gas-Luftgemische anzeigen.
Oft werden Explosimeter in Bereichen mitgeführt, in denen die Gefahr besteht, dass durch Betriebsstörungen explosionsfähige Gemische entstehen.
Technisch bestehen Explosimeter meistens aus einem Wärmeleitfähigkeitsdetektor, der regelmäßig mit einem Gasgemisch kalibriert und überprüft wird.

It is common practice to consider a 10% explosimeter reading or 10% of the LEL, as a safe working area.
When taking explosimeter readings, consider the possibility that the vapour or gas may have accumulated in recessed areas (top or bottom of tank depending on the density of the gas or vapour).
explosimeter (vapours, gas), real-time aerosol monitor (dust particles)] to confirm that there is no explosive atmosphere before inspecting, entering, or working in a confined space.

Because of the potential of a catastrophic incident caused by a fire in the petrochemical arena the job of fire watch has taken on new meaning and has resulted in a higher level of training which this course provides.
In addition to "fire watch" training we also train the participant in generic or specific explosimeters.
We have access to two but we often take the unit in use by our customer and offer short course training in the unitwhich the student will be using.

 Wheatstone bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wheatstone bridge illustrates the concept of a difference measurement, which can be extremely accurate.
Variations on the Wheatstone bridge can be used to measure capacitance, inductance, impedance and other quantities, such as the amount of combustible gases in a sample, with an explosimeter.
The Kelvin bridge was one specially adapted for measuring very low resistances.

 Chromatograph removes hydrocarbons in catalyst hydroprocessing - regeneration.
Use of explosimeters is not satisfactory for this purpose, because of its qualitative nature and absence of oxygen.
enough oxygen should be present in the gas for getting a meaningful value because explosimeter works on the principle of change in the electrical resistance due to change in the temperature of the gas.
Moreover since the reading on the explosimeter gives only qualitative results, when the gas is diluted with air, the results become more qualitative and become highly undependable.

 FM 10-67-1 CHAPTER 12
One explosimeter (combustible gas indicator) as shown in Figure 12-15, two sampling lines, and a probe are in the safety equipment set.
An explosimeter does not measure what percentage of the volume of a tank is made up of fuel vapors.
A reading of 100 percent on an explosimeter means that at least 1 percent of the contents of the tank consists of fuel vapors which makes the contents 100 percent explosive.

The circuit of the EXPLOSIMETER must be balanced with air free of combustible gases or vapors surrounding the detector filament.
When a test is made with the EXPLOSIMETER and the meter pointer is deflected to the extreme right side of the scale and remains there, then the atmosphere under test is explosive.
If the meter pointer moves rapidly across the scale and on continued aspiration quickly returns to a position within the scale range or below zero, it is an indication that the concentration of flammable gases or vapors may be above the upper explosive limit.

Blocking: certain conditions can cause a sensor not to function properly, when this happens normal gas sensing is blocked until the condition is removed.
The most common block would be lack of sufficient oxygen for an explosimeter.
