Author Description

Gas analysis has been used in various fields such as industrial use, environmental measurement, forensic science. Analytical instruments, for instance, GC, HPLC have been used as precision methods. These methods are sensitive, specific, but their size and design are not suited for field operation and are costly. For these reasons, simplified gas detectors such as detector tubes and sensors have been used. In fieldwork, simple measurement methods may not be adopted due to the influence of coexisting gas. In such a case, the on-site operator needs to sample the gas and send the sample to the laboratory. "Gas detector and gas sampling devices for field operations" explained procedure for gas detection and sampling methods with simplified detectors and samplers for on-site operators. The author provides practical information on how to gas detecting with commercially available products. How to use gas detectors How to use gas sampling devices Remote and flue gas measurement and sampling TVOC measurement with simplified detector General survey instrument for gas and vapors Maintenance, repair and calibration of gas detectors Risk management for field operator With its wealth of information on detectors and sampling devices, "Gas detector and gas sampling devices for field operations" is essential reading for field operators of gas sampling and detection. This book will be helpful to engineers in the field of work environment monitoring, atmospheric environment control, indoor air quality control, manufacturing process control, forensic science, emergency response and accident prevention, and so on.
