  Description:

Explosive atmospheres - Part 29-4: Gas detectors - Performance requirements of open path detectors for flammable gases

  Purpose

This part of IEC 60079-29 specifies performance requirements of equipment for the detection and measuring of flammable gases or vapours in ambient air by measuring the spectral absorption by the gases or vapours over extended optical paths, ranging typically from one meter to a few kilometres. Such equipment measures the integral concentration of the absorbing gas over the optical path in units such as LFL.meter for flammable gases.
