7.5.5 COMBUSTIBLE GAS SCALING FACTORS

For combustible gas monitoring, a calibration standard of Methane or Propane my be used in conjunction with scaling factors to cause Sentry concentration display and alarm function in %LEL scale of another gas as follows:

NOTES:

1.Scaling factors are not FMRC approved.

2.Base data source: EEV sensor specification catalog. (EEV claims some data is the result of specific tests, other data is empirically derived.)
