BS EN 1839:2017

This standard BS EN 1839:2017 Determination of the explosion limits and the limiting oxygen concentration (LOC) for flammable gases and vapours is classified in these ICS categories:

• 13.230 Explosion protection

This European Standard specifies two test methods (method T and method B) to determine the explosion limits of gases, vapours and their mixtures, mixed with air or an air / inert gas mixture (volume fraction of the oxygen < 21 %) and the limiting oxygen concentration. This European Standard applies to gases, vapours and their mixtures at atmospheric pressure for temperatures up to 200 °C.
