For CO 2, GWP = 1) 1,200 Toxicity Acceptable Exposure Limit* (8- and 12-hr time-weighted average) 1,000 ppm (v/v)
The upper and lower flammability limits of methane in oxygen are located on the methane axis, as shown. The actual envelope defining the flammability zone can only be determined based on experiments. The envelope will pass through the upper and lower flammability limits of methane in oxygen and in air, as shown
A 5% displayed LFL reading for methane, for example, would be equivalent to 5% multiplied by 4.4%, or approximately 0.22% methane by volume at 20 degrees C. Control of the explosion hazard is usually achieved by sufficient natural or mechanical ventilation, to limit the concentration of flammable gases or vapors to a maximum level of 25% of ...

The lower flammability limit or lower explosive limit (LFL/LEL) represents the lowest air to fuel vapor concentration required for combustion to take place when ignited by an external source, for any particular chemical. [29] Any concentration lower than this could not produce a flame or result in combustion.
The lower flammability limit (LFL), [1] usually expressed in volume per cent, is the lower end of the concentration range over which a flammable mixture of gas or vapour in air can be ignited at a given temperature and pressure. The flammability range is delineated by the upper and lower flammability limits. Outside this range of air/vapor ...
Flammable gases – Gases which at 20 °C and a standard pressure of 101.3 kPa: are ignitable when in a mixture of 13 percent or less by volume with air; or; have a flammable range with air of at least 12 percentage points regardless of the lower flammable limit. Alternative sign. Division 2.1 Non-flammable non-toxic gases – Gases which:
Category 1A includes extremely flammable gases ignitable at 20 °C and standard pressure of 101.3 kPa, pyrophoric gases, and chemically unstable gases that may react in the absence of oxygen. Category 1B gases meet the flammability criteria of 1A, but are not pyrophoric or chemically unstable and have a lower flammability limit in air.
