C12-17 Combustible Gas Transmitters are three-wire transmitters, operating from 24 VDC power supplies and transmitting a 4-20 mA signal proportional to 0-100% LEL (Lower Explosive Limit) of a particular gas or vapor. The transmitter is available either as a blind transmitter or with integral LCD display that provides local indication of gas concentration, visible through the glass window in the explosion-proof housing. Units supplied with the integral display also contain a single alarm setpoint and relay for local alarm purposes. This integral relay is a latching alarm that can be reset with a magnetic tool without opening the enclosure.
C12-17 transmitters can be connected directly to PLC, DCS, or computer based alarm systems without additional hardware.
Combustible gas sensors are made up of two matched sensing elements, one active and one passive. Both are electrically heated and form two legs of a Wheatstone bridge circuit. When combustible gas contacts the sensor, the active element catalyzes the oxidation of gas, heating the active element and changing it's resistance. The passive element remains unchanged, resulting in a change in the bridge circuit that is proportional to the gas concentration.
Explosion-proof sensor assemblies are made of 316 stainless steel for maximum corrosion protection. A sinter bonded flame arrestor provides the gas diffusion path to the sensing elements while maintaining the flame-proof integrity of the assembly. Sensing elements are specially designed for maximum poison resistance and long life in harsh industrial environments, with sensor life typically 2 years or more.

Collaborative Southeast Nexus study examines region's air quality
While much of the world has experienced a warmer climate in recent years, the U.S. Southeast has cooled. Scientists want to know why because the answer could reveal keys to improving air quality and understanding climate change. To study the cooling Southeast, scientists at several institutions have joined forces to conduct the Southern Atmosphere Study (SAS), the largest study on southeastern U.S. air quality since the 1990s. These include the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, National Center for Atmospheric Research, National Science Foundation, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Electric Power Research Institute. Five air quality studies fall under the SAS umbrella.

Wash. State to chart methane emissions from gas utilities
Researchers at Washington State University will quantify uncombusted methane emissions throughout the U.S., according to a release. The investigators will look at emissions from local gas systems and try to estimate a national emissions rate. Uncombusted natural gas is more harmful to the atmosphere than carbon dioxide because it has a higher warming potential. Emissions of uncombusted methane along the natural gas supply line haven’t been measured on a national scale and studying them will become more important as the U.S. natural gas industry continues to expand. The Washington State study begins in April and is funded by major natural gas utilities, the Environmental Defense Fund and Conestoga-Rovers and Associates, an environmental engineering and consulting firm.

Vancouver gets new air monitoring vehicle
A new air monitoring vehicle was recently delivered to the city of Vancouver with praise and skepticism from metropolitan residents, according to The Province. The vehicle, known as the Mobile Air Monitoring Unit, is loaded with sensors which will monitor air quality. The city wants to monitor particulates in the air from coal, diesel and oil tankers. Data collected by the truck transmits to the city hall. Some citizens are happy to have a new mobile air monitoring station that will supplement the city’s 26 stationary monitoring stations. However, many citizens criticized the loaded Ford F-450’s price tag of more than $280,000.
