Webster - How Blocked Gas Detectors Change the Apparent Concentration of Gas

Dr Ian Webster – Group Engineering Manager, Ampcontrol Pty Ltd ABSTRACT The operation of a diffusion type gas detectors used in fixed, machine mounted and handheld applications is reliant on the natural equalisation of dissimilar gas concentrations driven by partial pressures inside and outside the detector. Typically, this equalisation is inhibited (to a greater or lesser […]

Clarkson - What else is in a Goaf?

Dr Fiona Clarkson – Research Scientist, Simtars ABSTRACT Mines routinely monitor the gas profiles in their goafs and roadways to determine the current status of the mine as part of their principle hazard management plan for spontaneous combustion. Many mines typically monitor for hydrogen, oxygen, methane, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, ethane and ethylene using micro gas […]
