The presented techniques are to apply the flame-proof enclosure and intrinsic safe explosion proof to an infrared gas leak detector at first in Korea and to improve accuracy using linearization recursion equation and Lagrange interpolation polynomial. Together, we tested sensor characteristics and calibrated suitable input gases and output voltages. Then, we advanced the performances of combustible gaseous detectors through reflecting demands of gas safety management fields. To check performances of two company&#39;s detectors, we achieved the measurement tests with eight standard gases made by Korea Gas Safety Corporation. We demonstrated our instruments better in detecting accuracy other than detectors through experimental results.<\/p>\r\n","references":"[1]\tIncident Investigation & Safety Checkup Division, Gas Incident Statistics, Korea Gas Safety Corporation, 2015.\r\n[2]\tSeong-Hwan Han, Hern-Chang Lee, Kyoshik Park, Tae-Ok Kim, \u201cConsequence Analysis for Fire and Explosion Accidents in Propylene Recovery Process\u201d, KIGAS Vol.18, No.1, pp 52~60, 2014.2.\r\n[3]\tDynament Ltd, Technical datasheet TDS0118, Dynament Ltd,, 2014.8.27.\r\n[4]\tNano Environmental Technology, DS2967 rev. 9 - IRNEX-P low power, Nano Environmental Technology, 2014.9.7.\r\n[5]\tGyou-tae Park, \"A Study on the Measurement Accuracy Improvement of a Portable Combustible Gas Detector Using an Infrared Sensor\" University of Seoul, Ph.D. thesis, 2014.\r\n[6]\tIn-Soo Lee, Young-Wung Kim, \u201cAnalysis and Compensation of Sensor Drift in the Gas Monitoring System\u201d, KI-IT Vol.9, No.11, pp 9~15, 2011.\r\n[7]\tGyou-tae Park, Geun-jun Lyu, Young-do Jo, Jeong-rock Kwon, Sang-guk Ahn, Hiesik Kim, \u201cA study on the Development and Accuracy Improvement of an IR Combustible Gas Leak Detector with Explosion Proof\u201d, KIGAS Vol.18, No.3, pp 1~12, 2014.","publisher":"World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology","index":"Open Science Index 112, 2016"}
