甲基戊烷/3-甲基戊烷 Detection
Formula C1H4 · CAS 96-14-0 · 烷烃（可燃）
Hazards & Toxic Symptoms
Methylpentane/3-methylpentane are combustible gases or liquids belonging to the alkane category (saturated hydrocarbon chains), which are colorless and flammable. When mixed with air, they form explosive mixtures. They have low inherent toxicity, and the main risks are: ① fire and explosion (the lower explosion limit is usually 1-10%); ② simple asphyxiation caused by high concentrations displacing oxygen in enclosed spaces; ③ long-term exposure to high concentrations may cause mild anesthesia and dizziness. Alkanes that are heavier than air tend to accumulate on the ground/in low-lying areas. Storage sites must be equipped with LEL monitoring and mandatory ventilation.
Typical Application Scenarios
- Combustible gas leakage monitoring in chemical plant areas
- Gas station / LPG / Liquefied gas storage tank area
- Gas pipeline network inspection
- Laboratory fume hood LEL monitoring
Detection Principle / Recommended Sensors
Catalytic combustion (LEL universal) / Infrared (high concentration/oxygen-deficient scenarios) / PID (vapor VOC)
Common Range：0-100% LEL
