Excerpt from The Detection and Measurement of Inflammable Gas and Vapour in the Air: With a Chapter on the Detection and Measurement of Petroleum Vapour
The new method which was found suitable for fire damp was naturally extended to coal-gas, water-gas, and other combustible gases. Mr Boverton Redwood, working in conjunction with the author, has also rendered the hydrogen test available for the detection and measurement of petroleum vapour in the air. Mr Redwood has contributed a special Chapter describing the apparatus which he uses for this purpose, and his general method of procedure.
The book deals mainly with combustible gases. Amongst these carbonic oxide is included, and a summary is given of the very important work recently carried out by Dr Haldane in connection with the poisonous properties and the detection of this gas. It was deemed well, however, to include also carbonic acid gas, which is frequently met with in the same atmospheres as are examined for combustible gases, and occurs also as a product of their combustion or explosion. The general subject gains in completeness by this addition, although it leads to a departure from the title-matter of the book.
