Parameters of flammability and explosibility of gases and vapours have been determined. The measurement apparatus and the test procedure are in accordance with the international standards PN-EN 720-2 and PN-EN 26184-2. Examples of tests of lower and upper flammability limits and flammability areas for single combustible gases, for gas mixtures and for solvent vapours have been given. The data of explosion violence of methane-air mixtures at zero turbulence have been compared with the values obtained at high turbulence.
