Question 1

Does this detect levels of h2s outdoors? looking to measure levels of h2s in the air.

Accepted Answer

Yes, it detects H2S in the air. However, usually, outdoor H2S is much less than 1ppm, so this may not detect H2S. For example, the human nose can detect down to 0.0001ppm H2S.

Question 2

Is the gas sensor om this meter replaceable?

Accepted Answer

Yes they are.

Question 3

it says it detects combustibles LEL.  does that mean all combustibles.  natural gas, methane, propane, acetelene, etc.

Accepted Answer

It checks gases that can mix with air and be explosive at the lower level. It will not tell you the kind or level of gas. Not sure if it will check every gas. Below is further explanation and a list of gases.

Lower and Upper Explosive Limits for Flammable Gases and Vapors

Before a fire or explosion can occur, three conditions must be met simultaneously.
A fuel (ie. combustible gas) and oxygen (air) must exist in certain proportions, along with an ignition source, such as a spark or flame. The ratio of fuel and oxygen that is required varies with each combustible gas or vapor.
The minimum concentration of a particular combustible gas or vapor necessary to support its combustion in air is defined as the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) for that gas. Below this level, the mixture is too "lean" to burn. The maximum concentration of a gas or vapor that will burn in air is defined as the Upper Explosive Limit (UEL). Above this level, the mixture is too "rich" to burn. The range between the LEL and UEL is known as the flammable range for that gas or vapor.

Methane - LEL.. 5% by volume in Air / UEL.. 17% by volume in Air

Lower and Upper Explosive Limits
The values shown in the table below are valid only for the conditions under which they were determined (usually room temperature and atmospheric pressure using a 2 inch tube with spark ignition). The flammability range of most materials expands as temperature, pressure and container diameter increase. All concentrations in percent by volume.

Question 4

Can I put the probe in a furnace exhaust vent

Accepted Answer

Do not do that please. We have nearly the same product with correct filters and setup to do this. It is our COMBUSTION ANALYZER and actually cheaper than this version, look up ASIN B07QNFZ3X8 and B07Q3TBX1P, Thank you.
