Classification: Tasnee - General Information Lower Explosion Limit (LEL): The minimum concentration of vapor in air below which propagation of flame will not occur in the presence of an ignition source. The LEL is expressed as a volume percentage of vapor in air. Threshold Limit Value (TLV): Toxic gas concentration above which it is not safe to work extended periods. Upper Explosive Limit (UEL): The maximum concentration of a flammable/combustible gas, vapor, mist, or dust in air that will support combustion when an ignition source is present.
