Description

Hydrogen Chloride () is a colourless gas at room temperature, with a strong, pungent, irritating odour. When dissolved in water, it forms hydrochloric acid, a strong corrosive acid. It is non-flammable.

Key Properties:

  • Colourless: Invisible to the naked eye.
  • Strong, Pungent, Irritating Odour: Very easily detectable by smell, providing a good warning at low concentrations.
  • Highly Corrosive/Irritating: Causes severe irritation and damage to the eyes, skin, and especially the respiratory tract.
  • Density: Slightly heavier than air, so it can accumulate in low-lying areas or confined spaces, though its high solubility in water means it will also readily combine with moisture in the air or on surfaces.
  • Forms Hydrochloric Acid: When HCl gas comes into contact with moisture (e.g., in the air, on mucous membranes, or in the eyes), it forms highly corrosive hydrochloric acid.

Sensor may become unstable, if the battery is removed from the instrument or after the low battery warning is activated. If either incidence occurs, change the battery (or re-install the existing battery if it has suitable life remaining), then power the monitor ON then OFF, and allow at least 24 hours for the sensors to stabilise.

The table above reflects the percentage response provided by the sensor (top row) when exposed to a known concentration of the target gas (column 1).
The numbers were measured under these environmental conditions: 20 °C (68 °F), 50% RH and 1 atm.
The specified cross-interference numbers apply to new sensors only and may vary with time as well as from sensor to sensor.
“-” means no data available.
