2-甲基戊烷 Detection
Formula C1H4 · CAS 107-83-5 · 烷烃（可燃）
Hazards & Toxic Symptoms
2-Methylpentane is a combustible gas or liquid (saturated hydrocarbon chain) belonging to the alkane category. It is colorless and flammable, forming explosive mixtures when mixed with air. It has low inherent toxicity, and the main risks are: ① fire and explosion (with an explosion lower limit typically ranging from 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 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/hypoxia scenarios) / PID (vapor VOC)
Common Range：0-100% LEL
