Oxygen Contaminant Detection:Procedures for Field Analysis of Aviator's Breathing Oxygen.

摘要

Until recently,no instrument displayed the sensitivity,stability,and portability necessary for on-site field analysis of trace contaminants in aviator's breathing oxygen (ABO). A solid-state portable infrared gas analyzer became commercially available in 1971,which led to development of an instrument package capable of analyzing ABO at the base level. Procedures for field analysis of ABO are given as a guide for Air Force personnel using the ABO contaminant detector system developed by USAFSAM. (Author)
