Lower explosive limit (LEL) definition
Lower explosive limit (LEL) means the concentration of a gas or vapour in the air. Below the LEL, there is not enough vapour in the air to fuel a fire.
Lower explosive limit (LEL) of a compound means the minimum concentration of the compound as a gas or vapor, measured as a percent in air, which will explode or burn.
Lower explosive limit (LEL) means the minimum concentration of a vapour in air (or other oxidant) below which propagation of flame does not occur on contact with an ignition source and such limit is usually expressed as volume percentage of the vapour in air;
