Lower flammable limit means the lowest concentration of a material that will propagate a flame.
What is hazardous atmosphere?
It is an atmosphere that may expose employees to risk of death, incapacitation, impairment of ability to self-rescue, injury, or acute illness from one or more of following causes
- Flammable gas, vapor, or mist in excess of 10 percent of lower flammable limit (LFL)
- Airborne combustible dust at concentration that meets or exceeds its LFL
What is lower flammable limit?
- It means the lowest concentration of a material that will propagate a flame.
- The LFL is usually expressed as percent by volume of material in air (or other oxidant)
- Atmospheres with concentration of flammable vapors at or above 10 percent of lower explosive limit (LEL) are considered hazardous when located in confined spaces.
- However, atmospheres with flammable vapors below 10 percent of LEL are not necessarily safe. Such atmospheres are too lean to burn

They must make sure that all things pointed out are fact, not opinion.
The partial pressure of Hydrogen gas can directly be calculated
by simply taking the difference of the overall pressure and the vapour pressure
of water. That is:
P (H2 gas) = 759.2 torr – 23.8 torr
<span>P (H2 gas) = 735.4 torr</span>
