COMB
Most combustibles are heavier than air, with the exception of methane,
hydrogen, ethylene and acetylene. Sensors for gases that are heavier
than air should be installed approximately 30 cm (1 ft) from the floor.
For combustibles that are lighter than air, sensors should be installed
30 cm (1 ft) from the ceiling, close to the potential leak source.
* May differ in certain applications. Hot NO from exhaust systems is
lighter than ambient air.
WARNING: Some materials such
as,
