Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Hydrogen is an odourless, colourless, highly flammable and potentially explosive gas....

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Although several types of hydrogen monitors and detectors have been developed, many of them are useful at only low hydrogen concentrations (typically 3-4%) or have low sensitivity or slow response times. Additionally, some of these sensors require a supply of pure hydrogen as a standard reference or only operate at elevated temperatures. 1, record 3, English, - hydrogen%20sensor

Plusieurs types [...] de détecteurs d'hydrogène ont déjà été mis au point, mais bon nombre d'entre eux ne permettent de détecter que de faibles concentrations d'hydrogène (habituellement de 3 à 4 %) ou ont une faible sensibilité ou de longs temps de réaction. De plus, certains de ces capteurs exigent une alimentation en hydrogène pur comme gaz étalon ou ne fonctionnent qu'à des températures élevées. 1, record 3, French, - capteur%20d%27hydrog%C3%A8ne
