Question:

Which is more important, natural gas and air?

Want to install a detection alarm, but do not know whether it is installed on the ground floor or ceiling?

Answer:

On the ceiling.Because the main component of natural gas is methane, the molecular weight is 16, and oxygen is mainly nitrogen and oxygen, molecular weight is about 29.Therefore, the density of natural gas is smaller than air,So natural gas is heavier than air!
Natural gas companies are in accordance with the provisions of the government to add odor agent (four thiophene), in order to sniff the user identification.The average molecular weight is 29 and the density is 1.29kg/m3
Natural gas is stored in underground porous rock, the main component of methane, the proportion of 0.65, lighter than air, with colorless, tasteless, non-toxic characteristics
