Lower Explosive Limit (LEL)

The minimum concentration of a flammable gas in air capable of igniting is called the Lower Explosive Limit, or LEL.

In environments with combustible gas hazards, it is important to know long before the gas concentration reaches the LEL. Typical

The primary risk associated with combustible gases and vapors is the possibility of explosions. Explosion, like fire, requires three elements:
