Comparison of poisonous gases from permissible explosives as obtained in Bichel-Gage and coal-mine tests

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7099849
; ;
The firing of permissible explosives under actual coal-mining conditions generates certain poisonous gases--particularly carbon monoxide--in the same ratios obtained in laboratory tests undertaken to determine accuracy of Bichel-gage tests as part of a program to reevaluate laboratory testing procedures at Bureau's Experimental mine at Bruceton, Pa. The report discusses materials used and procedure followed, gives results obtained, and includes tables of analyses of gaseous products both from test blasting shots and Bichel-gage tests.
