A practical reference on sampling and analyzing mine gases and natural gas, with updated methods and standard apparatus described for field and lab work.

This edition revises key methods from Bulletin 42, focusing on how to collect samples, analyze gas mixtures, and use specialized equipment. It blends historical practice with modern refinements to help professionals ensure accurate results in mine safety and natural gas work.

The book covers a wide range of topics, including sampling techniques, apparatus for exact analysis, and procedures for determining components such as methane, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and carbon monoxide. It also discusses the solubility of gases in absorbents, the effects of temperature and pressure, and how to minimize common errors in gas analysis. Illustrations and detailed figures accompany the descriptions of laboratory and field equipment.

Step-by-step guidance on sampling mine air and analyzing gas content with specialized apparatus
Descriptions of copper oxide, Haldane, and other gas-analysis methods
Notes on instrument calibration, error elimination, and interpretation of results
Context for analyzing natural gas and detecting valuable or hazardous components
