The Mine Safety Appliances Company Ltd. manufactured the first type - W8 Methanometer around 1950 and it was approved for use by the Ventilation Regulations of 1947. The Methanometer could be powered by an Edison battery cap lamp and it could be carried on a miner's belt with other tools. Methane is the main gas present in firedamp. It is highly explosive and had previously been detected by the blue halo effect it gave to the flame of a safety lamp. By 1983, several instruments for measuring methane concentration in air had been developed.〔Édouard Hospitalier, (Translated by Julius Maier) ''The Modern Applications of Electricity: Telephone; various applications; electrical transmission of energy, 2nd edition'', D. Appleton and company, 1883 chapter part II chapter 1 Methanometers pages 197-208〕 These relied on such methods as the differential heating of an incandescent platinum filament, or by measuring the higher absorption of infrared radiation by gas containing methane. == Operation == A catalytic-type methanometer uses an array of four heated wire filament elements, two active filaments are coated with a catalyst, arranged in a Wheatstone bridge with two inactive elements that have no coating. When exposed to methane-contaminated air, the coated filaments heat up due to oxidation of the methane, and the resulting imbalance in the resistance of active and inactive elements can be displayed on a calibrated meter. Such instruments require oxygen to work and can be inaccurate if methane concentration is very high. The catalyst can be poisoned by exposure to some chemicals, especially those containing sulphur, again making the instrument insensitive to methane.〔Paul McKenzie-Wood ''Detection of Gases'' in Jeanne Mager Stellman (ed) ''Encyclopaedia of Occupational Health and Safety: Chemical, industries and occupations Volume 3 of Encyclopaedia of Occupational Health and Safety,'' International Labour Office, 1998 ISBN 92-2-109203-8, pages 74.41 - 74.42〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Methanometer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
