About this title

Synopsis

Practical methods for collecting and analyzing air and gas samples .

This book offers tested techniques for rapid, accurate analysis of air and simple gas mixtures, with detailed guidance on apparatus, data handling, and interpretation. It emphasizes everyday mining and physiological contexts, focusing on reliable sample collection, careful storage, and practical procedures that professionals can apply in the field or lab.

The text walks readers through assembling and using air-analysis equipment, transferring samples to burettes, and maintaining cleanliness to avoid contamination. It covers mine air, exhaust gases, carbon dioxide, methane, oxygen, moisture, dust, and various poisonous gases, with careful notes on accuracy, calibration, and safety. Examples show reporting analyses in clear terms and adjusting methods for different settings and sample volumes.
A reader will find:

• Step-by-step instructions for collecting air samples in bottles and with portable apparatus
• Practical methods for measuring carbon dioxide, oxygen, methane, and moisture
• Techniques for determining dust levels and detecting poisonous gases
• Guidance on maintaining, testing, and calibrating equipment

Ideal for professionals and students who analyze mine air, industrial environments, or experimental chambers, this edition pairs detailed procedures with explanations of underlying principles and common pitfalls.

• How to collect representative air samples without altering composition
• How to use burettes, potash reagents, and portable gear for quick readings
• How to interpret results for mine air, exhaust gases, and dust content
• What checks ensure accuracy and prevent instrument jams or contamination

Ideal for readers of technical handbooks on air analysis and mine ventilation.
