Flammability Limits
Lower Limit Percent Gas in Air 5 2 2 – 5 (See Note 2) 2
Upper Limit Percent Gas in Air 15 10 9 -16 (See Note 2) 9
Notes:
1 Other mixtures may have significantly different physical properties. Each operator should
evaluate the gas in his the distribution system and react accordingly.
2 The explosive limits refer to percent gas in air and are the same shown for propane.The LEL
and UEL must be calculated for each specific mixture/blend of propane/air/natural gas.
Depending on the composition of the natural gas and the percentage of air in the mixture,
values for LEL and UEL can vary within the ranges shown above.
