Vapor Detection [1]

Techniques used to detect the presence of hydrocarbon vapor in a monitoring well, a tank interstice [2] or a tank [3] being prepared for cleaning.

Monitoring instruments–most often called combustible gas indicators or explosimeters–are available that give readings which reveal the vapor level in a confined space.
