What is the proportion of gasesnin premixed anaerobic gas mixture?
ANAEROBIC GAS MIXTURE Mixed gas anaerobic workstations manufactured by Don Whitley Scientific Limited operate on a supply of anaerobic gas consisting of 10% Hydrogen, 10% Carbon Dioxide and 80% Nitrogen, (known as a 10:10:80 mixture). Don Whitley Scientific Limited has been a manufacturer of anaerobic workstations since 1980. More than 1000 units have been supplied worldwide. The majority operate on the 10:10:80 mixture. There have not been any incidents reported regarding the use of the 10:10:80 gas mixture on any Don Whitley Scientific anaerobic workstation. Whilst the 10:10:80 mixture is correctly classified as an extremely flammable gas, very specific conditions apply before there is an explosive potential: 1. Anaerobic gas mixture needs to represent between 44% and 76% by volume in air, thereby providing a minimum of 5% concentration of oxygen by volume to sustain combustion. 2. A source of ignition It is however important at this point to emphasise the difference between the term
