3 D EFINITIONS AND A BBREVIATIONS
Aspirator A hand operated pump attachment which enables gas to be drawn into the instrument.
Data Logging The automatic recording of readings stored in the solid state memory of the instrument
for later retrieval.
EXP Explosive Gas.
LEL Lower Explosive Limit, the volume ratio of flammable gas or vapor in air below which an
explosive gas atmosphere will not be formed.
%LEL The percentage of the Lower Explosive Limit
e.g. the LEL for methane is 5% volume in air, therefore 20% LEL is equivalent to 1%
volume in air (i.e. 20% of 5% volume)
TWA Time-Weighted-Average, taken over an 8 hour reference period.
Also referred to as LTEL, Long Term Exposure Limit
PC A ‘personal computer’ based on the original IBM standard.
Pellistors Devices used for the detection of a wide range of flammable gases normally comprising
of individual detector and compensator ‘bead’ elements operating on the principle of
catalytic oxidation.
PGD2 Portable Gas Detector - 2nd generation, monitoring up to 4 gases.
PPM Parts per Million.
STEL Short Term Exposure Limit, the average exposure over a 15 minute sampling period.
T
90
Response Time The time taken to reach 90% of the true value
