TESTING GUIDE Flammable Gas and Vapor Testing Guide

Fires and explosions in process industries that use flammable materials are typically the result of several factors: an explosive mixture being present in the vapor/gas space, lack of knowledge (safety data) on the flammable properties and the inherent safety implications, or inadequate safety procedures and explosion prevention/ mitigation safeguards. This is why flammability testing is the first essential step in ensuring process safety.

In this guide, you'll explore:

• What flammable gas and vapor testing is
• The risks
• Types of flammable gas and vapor tests
