  • Abstract
    When alumina contains an alkali metallic salt, it becomes electrically conductive to a varying degree in the presence of a small amount of inflammable gas. This new detector element can detect a leakage rate of combustible gas of about one cubic inch per hour at atmospheric pressure and locate the leak.
