46、 requirements of open path detectors for flammable gases 1 Scope This part of EN 60079-29 specifies performance requirements of equipment for the detection and measuring of flammable gases or vapours in ambient air by measuring the spectral absorption by the gases or vapours over extended optical pa

47、ths, ranging typically from one metre to a few kilometres. Such equipment measures the integral concentration of the absorbing gas over the optical path in units such as LFL metre for flammable gases. NOTE 1 Actual values of concentration can be deduced only where it can be established that the conc

48、entration is uniform over the optical path, for example in very short optical paths (100 mm). In such cases, the equipment is within the scope of EN 60079-29-1 . NOTE 2 This standard is based upon present absorption techniques using infrared radiation. Other techniques and applications may require a

49、dditional test considerations (e.g. pressure test). Equipment falling within the scope of this standard is classified by the following types: Type 1: an optical transmitter and receiver, located at either end of a path through the atmosphere to be monitored. Type 2: an optical transceiver (i.e. combined transmitter and receiver) and a suitable reflector, which may be a topographic feature or a retroreflector, located at either end of a path thro
