| Ideal Conditions: Minimum bed depth - 12 inches Maximum velocity - 60 fpm Background organic level - None on Non detectable Maximum gas concentration - 50ppm Relative humidity - call for application |
Non-Ideal Conditions: Minimum bed depth - 2-12 inches Maximum velocity - 80fpm Background organic level - Less than 100 ppm Gas Concentration - 50-100 ppm Relative Humidity - call for application |
