If the concentration of ethane were only 1.6% (half the lower limit of flammability) the M-S-A Explosivemeter would read
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
27.
If the cocentration of ethane were 3.2% (lower limit of flammability)M-S-A Explosivemeter would read
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
28.
A reading of 100% on the explosivementer would mean that the concentration of the combustible gas was 100% of the lowerlimit that is the concentration would be

1/2 the amount necessary to cause an explosion
C.
1/10 the amount necessary to cause an explosion
D.
sufficient to cause an explosion
Answer: Option D
