Abstract:
A combustion technique is employed to combustively react oxygen with carbon monoxide present within a gas mixture and to combustively react oxygen with the total combustibles content of the gas such that the carbon monoxide content and reactive hydrocarbon content of the gas is determined on the basis of the oxygen required to produce stoichiometric reactions with the carbon monoxide and the total combustible content of the gas. The technique employs the use of a hydrocarbon trap which traps reactive hydrocarbons, i.e., those typically resulting in the development of pollutants and smog, while passing hydrocarbons such as methane which generally do not react to produce undesirable pollutants and smog.
Abstract:
A DISPOSABLE SAMPLER FOR TESTING FOR THE PRESENCE OF CHEMICAL CONTAMINANTS IN FLUIDS COMPRISING A RELATIVELY FLAT LAMINATED PACKAGE INCLUDING A BASE SHEET, A RETAINER SHEET, AND A COVER SHEET, THE SHEETS BEING COMPOSED OF RELATIVELY IMPERMEABLE MATERIALS, AT LEAST ONE OF THE BASE AND RETAINER SHEETS BEING FORMED TO PROVIDE AT LEAST ONE POCKET AND AT LEAST ONE RECESS AND TO PROVIDE AN OPEN CHANNEL EXTENDING BETWEEN THE RECESS AND THE ONE POCKET, A SORPTIVE PAD DISPOSED IN THE RECESS, A RUPTURABLE SACK FILLED WITH A LIQUID REAGENT DISPOSED IN THE POCKET, AND THE RETAINER SHEET COVERING THE POCKET AND CHANNEL AND RECESS AND HAVING AN APERTURE REGISTERED WITH AND ABOVE THE SORPTIVE PAD SO AS TO ENABLE A LIQUID TO BE TESTED TO CONTACT THE SORPTIVE PAD, AND THE COVER SHEET SEALED OVER THE RETAINER SHEET TO SEAL THE OPENING THEREIN UNTIL THE COVER SHEET IS REMOVED FOR CONDUCTING A TEST.
