Model 4400
In-Stream Hydrogen Sulfide Analyzer
The Model 4400 In-Stream Hydrogen Sulfide Analyzer

is used to continuously verify the H2S content of a natu-
ral gas sample for the presence of 0-100 ppm levels of
Hydrogen Sulfide. This system is used to insure that
H2S levels in natural gas collection lines remains at ac-
ceptable levels to help guard against the corrosive ef-
fects of H2S on compressors, pipelines and process
equipment. It is intended for continuous monitoring prior
to the addition of odorants to the gas.
The Sierra Monitor Model 4400 provides the user with a

low-cost, easy-to-use solution to effective monitoring of
natural gas streams. This system accurately measures

The Model 4400 In-Stream Hydrogen Sulfide Ana-
lyzer (Figure 1.1) is a fixed installation system de-
signed for continuous analysis of a natural gas
sample for the presence of 0-100 ppm levels of
Hydrogen Sulfide. The system is used to insure
that Hydrogen Sulfide levels in natural gas collec-
tion lines remain below acceptable levels. It is in-
tended for continuous monitoring prior to the addi-
tion of odorants to the gas.

1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
1.1 GENERAL
The Model 5100-99-IT Transmitter is a member of the Information Technology IT family of gas sensor
transmitters.
IT transmitters offer a broad array of features, including:

Integral alphanumeric LED display
4-20 mA output
Modbus RTU interface
SMC Sentry interface
316 Stainless steel enclosure option
Auxiliary integral relay option
Remote display option
Low maintenance and operation costs
The 5100-99-IT is designed and approved for installation and operation in hazardous locations.
1.2 PRODUCT CONFIGURATION
Various transmitter configuration options are available. Where applicable, these options are factory
configured prior to shipment. Options which can be re-configured by the installer or field technician are fully
described in this manual.
1.3 MODES OF OPERATION
1.3.1 SENTRY INTERFACE
IT gas sensor transmitter can be connected to on Sierra Monitor Sentry Model 5000 controllers. When it is
connected to a Sentry system the IT transmitter must have a unique address which can be established by
setting an address between 1 and 8 on the Transmitter Address Switch accessible from the cover plate as
illustrated in Figure 3-1. Figure 3-6 in this manual provides the wiring terminations for connections to the
Sentry controller.
When the transmitter is operated in conjunction with a Sentry controller, the alarms outputs in the
transmitter can both be set to Sentry, allowing the Sentry controller to manage alarm acknowledge and
reset rather than the transmitter. The alarm relay outputs are triggered by the alarm values established in
the transmitter and can be independent of the settings in the Sentry controller.
The Sentry configuration allows daisy chain installation using the Sentry multiplex capability, thus reducing
costs by avoiding the requirement for wiring junction boxes. The connector card has two sets of
connections, allowing for a continuous run to the next transmitter.

1.3.2 MODBUS OPERATION

An RS-485 Modbus RTU serial interface allows direct connection to standard PLCs and DCSs. The
Transmitter Address Switch (section 3.5) allows the user to select up to 16 different Modbus addresses.
Also, an additional 238 Modbus addresses (for a total of 254 different Modbus Addresses) are available
via menu selection. Figure 3-6 in this manual provides the wiring terminations for Modbus connections. The
5100-XX-IT provides the additional terminal connectors to enable the user to connect In/Out terminations of
a RS-485 connection.
1.3.3 ANALOG OPERATION
The 4-20 mA interface allows direct connection to standard analog controllers or PLCs. The 5100-XX-IT 4-
20 mA connection can be wired as a Type 3 (3-wire) or Type 4 (4-wire) circuit as described by ANSI/ISA-
50.00.01-1975 Standard (see figure 3-5).
1.3.4 REMOTE ALARM RESET (DIGITAL INPUT) (Figure 3-7)
An input is available for connection of remote alarm reset/acknowledge. Figure 3-7 provides the wiring
termination for connecting the remote alarm reset. This only resets local alarms, not Sentry alarms. This
input can be wired as supervised or non-supervised.
Note that when the Remote Alarm Reset is operated in a supervised mode that both the switch and resistor
must be present as outlined in Figure 3-7.
1.3.5 OPTIONAL INTEGRAL RELAYS
The optional relays are integral to the transmitter and are rated as SPDT, 250VAC, 8 Amps for the High
Alarm and Low Alarm relays and SPDT, 250 VAC, 2 Amp for the Trouble relay.
If the transmitter is provided with the optional relays, it will include Terminal P4 on the interface board
(Figure 3-2). Relay output connections are on P4.
1.3.6 MECHANICAL

Electronic Assembly consist of one top transmitter board (connected to the cover plate) and a lower
interface board. Connectors for wiring for power, signal interface and alarm relays are located on the
interface board assembly
1.4 INTERCONNECT WIRING

Not supplied with the transmitter, but necessary to the installation and operation is the multi conductor
wiring which connects the transmitter to its power source and controller. Before this wiring is installed it is
important to read and understand the control system installation instructions to determine wiring
requirements and alternatives.
1.5 POWER REQUIREMENTS

5100-99-IT operates on DC power between 10 VDC and 30 VDC. Regulated DC power must be supplied
from a separate source, or from an approved Sentry or IT controller.
Page: 4
2. CAUTIONS & WARNINGS
2.1 INTRODUCTION
Although IT Transmitter is designed and constructed for installation and operation in industrial applications
including "hostile" environments, caution should be taken to insure that the installation is made in
compliance with this instruction manual and that certain procedures and conditions are avoided. This
chapter discusses the necessary cautions. Read the entire chapter prior to installation of the
equipment.
2.2 IT TRANSMITTERS - GENERAL
Avoid installing Transmitter where they will be unnecessarily exposed to wind, dust, water (esp. direct hose
down), shock, or vibration. Observe temperature range limitations.
2.3 WIRING
The manufacturer recommends that extra caution be taken where the installation is near any sources of
electromagnetic or radio frequency interference. Precautions include:
Avoid running transmitter cable close to high power cables, radio transmission lines, or cables subject
to pulses of high current.
Avoid running cables near large electric motors or generators.
When the transmitter is to be operated in analog (4-20mA output) mode shielded cable is required.
All splices must be via either a termination hardware system or soldered. Improperly spliced cable can
result in corrosion, resistance changes and system errors.
Use low capacitance cable for RS-485 Modbus RTU Operation.
NOTE
Installation and wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code. AC Voltage
conductors are not to be run in the same conduit as DC voltage conductors.

3. INSTALLATION
NOTE
All transmitters are factory are pre-configured and calibrated.
Identify all components during unpacking and install using the factory configuration.
3.1 TRANSMITTER LOCATIONS

Select locations for each transmitter so that they are placed in areas accessible for calibration.
3.2 WIRING
3.2.1 ANALOG 4-20 mA OPERATION
The 4-20 mA output for the 5100-99-IT can be either 3-wire or 4-wire operation. If using 3-wire operation,
use a minimum of 18 AWG, shielded, 3-conductor cable up to 2000. For 4-wire operation, use a minimum
of 2 each, 18 AWG, twisted, shielded, pair up to 2000.
3.2.2 MODBUS OPERATION USING RS-485 CONNECTION
Use a minimum of 18 AWG, 2 conductor for DC power connection. No shield required. In addition use a
minimum of 24 AWG, low capacitance, shielded data cable for RS-485 half duplex communication. The
installation may be planned in a manner which provides up to 32 sensor modules on a single home run.
Refer to Figure 3-3. Units ship with BIAS jumpers connected. For all installations, except very long cable
runs, leave these jumpers connected. The TERM jumpers should be installed in the last (furthest) module
of every loop.
3.2.3 SENTRY OPERATION USING SMC SENTRY CONNECTION
Wire shall be rated as 600 volt tray cable, such as Belden (or equivalent) 27331 or 27331 AS (shielded). If
high RFI or EMI levels exist wiring should be protected by conduit or shield. The installation may be
planned in a manner which provides up to 4 sensor modules on a single home run to a Sentry controller.
NOTE
Be sure to follow all local electric code and safety requirements when installing the 5100-99-IT
Transmitter
3.2.4 GENERAL
Install conduit as required by local code or construction specifications. When transmitters are to be
multiplexed for Sentry or RS-485 communication, two alternatives may be planned:
Use multi-position positive contact terminals to connect daisy chain wiring and provide a pigtail to
connect to the transmitter board.
NOTES
The drain wire of shielded cable must NOT be used as one of the conductors.
Installation and wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Temperature
o
rating of cable wire must be at least 75 C. If cable runs through higher temperature
environments, it must be specified for that environment.
3.3 ENCLOSURE INSTALLATION

To protect the transmitter they should be removed from the enclosure and preserved until final installation and
wiring termination.
Prior to installation and wiring:
1. Remove the transmitter from the module housing by:
Unscrew the two captive panel screws in the face plate.
Lift the transmitter out of the housing.
2. Install the module housing onto the end of the supply conduit and/or bolt into position as required.
NOTES
When housing earth grounding is required for the installation a grounding lug is located in the
base of the enclosure. Install the earth ground wire under the green lug.

5. CALIBRATION
5.1 CALIBRATION FREQUENCY
The 5100-99-IT has been calibrated in the factory prior to shipment. It is recommended that the user check
calibration before placing in service. Periodic functional tests are advisable for critical applications and hostile
environments.
The transmitter microprocessor software includes high level self checking algorithms which provide continuous
diagnostic and self adjustment. Users may select calibration frequencies dependent upon sensor type.
5.2 CALIBRATION PREPARATION
Calibration of the transmitter with sensor is accomplished by simple menu based steps and application of span
gas.
NOTE
If an error is made during any stage of the calibration process, hold the magnet stick at the
Switch [M] for 10 seconds. A scrolling display will indicate Calibration aborted and the
sensor module will exit the calibration activity and return to normal operating mode. The
calibration procedure can then be restarted.
Calibration must be performed only when the area is known to be clear of the applicable toxic gas. If
necessary, use a portable instrument to confirm that there is no background toxic gas.
5.2.1 CALIBRATION GAS DELIVERY METHODS

Calibration gas is can be delivered to the sensors via the following delivery devices:
Model 5358-00: Calibration Adapter - used with portable calibrators. See 5-1.
Model 5360-00: Calibration Gas Delivery fitting - permanently installed fitting which
allows tubing to be run to a convenient delivery location
5.3 CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
Table 5-1 shows the step by step process of the calibration procedure.
The procedures requires that the menu keys be activated using the magnet stick.
Each key pressed steps through the process of setting the zero value for clean air
and then setting the span value.
At each of these steps, apply calibration gas of the value corresponding to the
setting accepted on the sensor module display.

3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: This gas mixture is a colorless gas with a disagreeable odor similar to rotten-eggs. Hydrogen Sulfide, a component of this gas mixture,
is toxic to humans in relatively low concentrations. The odor cannot be relied on as an adequate warning of the presence of Hydrogen Sulfide, because olfactory
fatigue occurs. Additionally, releases of this gas mixture may produce oxygen-deficient atmospheres (especially in confined spaces or other poorly-ventilated
environments); individuals in such atmospheres may be asphyxiated.
SYMPTOMS OF OVER-EXPOSURE BY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE: The most significant route of over-exposure for this gas mixture is by inhalation.
INHALATION: Due to the small size of an individual cylinder of this gas mixture, no unusual health effects from over-exposure to the product are
anticipated under routine circumstances of use. A significant health hazard associated with this gas mixture is the potential of inhalation of
Hydrogen Sulfide, a component of this gas mixture. Such over-exposures may occur if this gas mixture is used in a confined space or other poorly
ventilated area. Over-exposures to Hydrogen Sulfide can cause dizziness, headache, and nausea. Exposure to this component can result in
respiratory arrest, coma, or unconsciousness. Continuous inhalation of low concentrations of Hydrogen Sulfide may cause olfactory fatigue, so that
the odor is no longer an effective warning of the presence of this gas. A summary of exposure concentrations and observed effects are as follows:
CONCENTRATION OF
HYDROGEN SULFIDE OBSERVED EFFECT
0.3-30 ppm Odor is unpleasant.
50 ppm Eye irritation. Dryness and irritation of nose, throat.
Slightly higher than 50 ppm Irritation of the respiratory system.
100-150 ppm Temporary loss of smell.
200-250 ppm Headache, vomiting nausea. Prolonged exposure may lead to lung damage. Exposures of 4-8 hours can
be fatal.
300-500 Swifter onset of symptoms. Death occurs in 1-4 hours.
500 ppm Headache, excitement, staggering, and stomach ache after brief exposure. Death occurs within 0.5 - 1
hour of exposure.
> 600 ppm Rapid onset of unconsciousness, coma, death.
> 1000 ppm Immediate respiratory arrest.
NOTE: This gas mixture contains a maximum of 250 ppm Hydrogen Sulfide. The higher concentration values
here are presented to delineate the complete health effects which have been observed for humans after exposure to Hydrogen Sulfide.
Additionally, if mixtures of this gas mixture contain less than 19.5% Oxygen and are released in a small, poorly ventilated area (i.e. an enclosed or
confined space), an oxygen-deficient environment may occur. Individuals breathing such an atmosphere may experience symptoms which include
headaches, ringing in ears, dizziness, drowsiness, unconsciousness, nausea, vomiting, and depression of all the senses. Under some
circumstances of over-exposure, death may occur. The effects associated with various levels of oxygen are as follows:

in serious cases, the eye can be permanently damaged.
HEALTH EFFECTS OR RISKS FROM EXPOSURE: An Explanation in Lay Terms.
Over-exposure to this gas mixture may cause the following health effects: See Section 8
ACUTE: Due to the small size of the individual cylinder of this gas mixture, no unusual
health effects from exposure to the product are anticipated under routine circumstances For Routine Industrial Use and Handling Applications
of use. Inhalation over-exposures to mixture containing Hydrogen Sulfide can cause
dizziness, headache, and nausea. Such over-exposures may occur if this gas mixture is used in a confined space or other poorly ventilated
environment. Exposure to high concentrations of Hydrogen Sulfide can be fatal. Continuous inhalation of low concentrations of Hydrogen Sulfide
may cause olfactory fatigue, so that the odor is no longer an effective warning of the presence this gas. Another significant hazard associated with
this gas mixture when it contains less than 19.5% oxygen is the potential for exposure to oxygen-deficient atmospheres. Symptoms of oxygen
deficiency include respiratory difficulty, ringing in ears, headaches, shortness of breath, wheezing, headache, dizziness, indigestion, nausea,
unconsciousness, and death. The skin of a victim of over-exposure may have a blue color.
CHRONIC: Severe over-exposures to mixtures containing Hydrogen Sulfide, which do not result in death, may cause long-term symptoms such as
memory loss, paralysis of facial muscles, or nerve tissue damage. In serious cases of over-exposure, the eyes can be permanently damaged.
Chronic exposure to oxygen-deficient atmospheres (below 18% oxygen in air) may affect the heart and nervous system. Refer to Section 11
(Toxicology Information) for additional information on the components of this gas mixture.
TARGET ORGANS: ACUTE: Respiratory system, blood system, cardiovascular system. CHRONIC: Nerves, eyes, cardiovascular system.
4. FIRST-AID MEASURES
RESCUERS SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO RETRIEVE VICTIMS OF EXPOSURE TO THIS GAS MIXTURE WITHOUT
ADEQUATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. At a minimum, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus must be worn.
Victim(s) who experience any adverse effect after over-exposure to this gas mixture must be taken for medical attention. Rescuers should be taken
for medical attention if necessary. Take a copy of the label and the MSDS to physician or other health professional with victim(s).
No unusual health effects are anticipated after exposure to this gas mixture, due to the small cylinder size. If any adverse symptom develops after
over-exposure to this gas mixture, remove victim(s) to fresh air as quickly as possible. Only trained personnel should administer supplemental
oxygen and/or cardio-pulmonary resuscitation if necessary.
SKIN EXPOSURE: If irritation of the skin develops after exposure to this gas mixture, immediately begin decontamination with running water.
Minimum flushing is for 15 minutes. Remove exposed or contaminated clothing, taking care not to contaminate eyes. Victim must seek immediate
medical attention.
EYE EXPOSURE: If irritation of the eye develops after exposure to this gas mixture, open victim's eyes while under gentle running water. Use
sufficient force to open eyelids. Have victim "roll" eyes. Minimum flushing is for 15 minutes. Seek medical assistance immediately, preferably an
ophthalmologist.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Pre-existing respiratory conditions may be aggravated by over-exposure to this gas
mixture. Carbon Monoxide, a component of this gas mixture, can aggravate some diseases of the cardiovascular system, such as coronary artery
disease and angina pectoris. Because of the presence of Hydrogen Sulfide, eye disorders or skin problems may be aggravated by over-exposure
to this gas mixture.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO PHYSICIANS: Administer oxygen, if necessary; treat symptoms; reduce or eliminate exposure. Be observant for initial
signs of pulmonary edema in the event of severe inhalation over-exposures.

Explosion Sensitivity to Static Discharge: Not sensitive.
OTHER
SPECIAL FIRE-FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Structural firefighters must wear Self-

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

LEAK RESPONSE: Due to the small size and content of the cylinder, an accidental release of this gas mixture presents significantly less risk of an
oxygen deficient environment and other safety hazards than a similar release from a larger cylinder. However, as with any chemical release,
extreme caution must be used during emergency response procedures. In the event of a release in which the atmosphere is unknown, and in
which other chemicals are potentially involved, evacuate immediate area. Such releases should be responded to by trained personnel using pre-
planned procedures. Proper protective equipment should be used. In case of a leak, clear the affected area, protect people, and respond with
trained personnel.
Allow the gas mixture to dissipate. If necessary, monitor the surrounding area (and the original area of the release) for Hydrogen Sulfide and
Oxygen. The level of Hydrogen Sulfide must be below the TLV (see Section 2, Composition on Information on Ingredients) and the atmosphere
must have at least 19.5 percent oxygen before personnel can be allowed in the area without Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus. If leaking
incidentally from the cylinder, contact your supplier.
7. HANDLING and USE

WORK PRACTICES AND HYGIENE PRACTICES: Be aware of any signs of dizziness or fatigue, especially if work is done in a poorly ventilated
area; exposures to fatal concentrations of this gas mixture could occur without any significant warning symptoms, due to Hydrogen Sulfide over-
exposure and oxygen deficiency. Do not attempt to repair, adjust, or in any other way modify the cylinders containing this gas mixture. If there is a
malfunction or another type of operational problem, contact the nearest distributor immediately. Eye wash stations/safety showers should be near
areas where this gas mixture is used or stored. All work operations should be monitored in such a way that emergency personnel can be
immediately contacted in the event of a release. All work practices should minimize releases of Hydrogen Sulfide-containing gas mixtures.

PAGE 2 OF 5
7. HANDLING and USE(Continued)
STORAGE AND HANDLING PRACTICES: Cylinders should be firmly secured to prevent falling or being knocked-over. Cylinders must be
protected from the environment, and preferably kept at room temperature (approximately 21C [70F]). Cylinders should be stored in dry, well-
ventilated areas, away from sources of heat, ignition, and direct sunlight. Protect cylinders against physical damage. Full and empty cylinders
should be segregated. Use a first-in, first-out inventory system to prevent full containers from being stored for long periods of time. These cylinders
are not refillable. WARNING! Do not refill DOT 39 cylinders. To do so may cause personal injury or property damage.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING GAS CYLINDERS: WARNING! Compressed gases can present significant safety hazards. During
cylinder use, use equipment designed for these specific cylinders. Ensure all lines and equipment are rated for proper service pressure.
PROTECTIVE PRACTICES DURING MAINTENANCE OF CONTAMINATED EQUIPMENT: Follow practices indicated in Section 6 (Accidental
Release Measures). Make certain that application equipment is locked and tagged-out safely. Always use product in areas where adequate
ventilation is provided.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS - PERSONAL PROTECTION

VENTILATION AND ENGINEERING CONTROLS: No special ventilation systems or engineering controls are needed under normal
circumstances of use. As with all chemicals, use this gas mixture in well-ventilated areas. If this gas mixture is used in a poorly-ventilated area,
install automatic monitoring equipment to detect the levels of Hydrogen Sulfide and Oxygen.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: No special respiratory protection is required under normal circumstances of use. Use supplied air respiratory
protection if the levels of components exceeds exposure limits presented in Section 2 (Composition and Information of Ingredients) and Oxygen
levels are below 19.5%, or unknown, during emergency response to a release of this gas mixture. If respiratory protection is needed, use only
protection authorized in the U.S. Federal OSHA Standard (29 CFR 1910.134), applicable U.S. State regulations, or the Canadian CSA Standard
Z94.4-93 and applicable standards of Canadian Provinces. Oxygen levels below 19.16.33% are considered IDLH by OSHA. In such
atmospheres, use of a full-facepiece pressure/demand SCBA or a full facepiece, supplied air respirator with auxiliary self-contained air supply is
required under OSHAs Respiratory Protection Standard (1910.134-1998).
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: The following NIOSH respiratory protection recommendations for Hydrogen Sulfide are provided for further
information.
NIOSH/OSHA RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HYDROGEN SULFIDE CONCENTRATIONS IN AIR:
Up to 100 ppm Powered air-purifying respirator with cartridge(s) to protect against hydrogen sulfide; or gas mask with canister to
protect against hydrogen sulfide; or SAR; or full-facepiece SCBA.
Emergency or Planned Entry into Unknown Concentration or IDLH Conditions: Positive pressure, full-facepiece SCBA; or positive pressure, full-
facepiece SAR with an auxiliary positive pressure SCBA.
Escape Gas mask with canister to protect against hydrogen sulfide; or escape-type SCBA
The IDLH concentration for Hydrogen Sulfide is 100 ppm.
EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses. If necessary, refer to U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133 or appropriate Canadian Standards.
HAND PROTECTION: Wear leather gloves when handling cylinders. Chemically resistant gloves should be worn when using this gas mixture. If
necessary, refer to U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.138 or appropriate Standards of Canada.
BODY PROTECTION: No special protection is needed under normal circumstances of use. If a hazard of injury to the feet exists due to falling
objects, rolling objects, where objects may pierce the soles of the feet or where employees feet may be exposed to electrical hazards, use foot
protection, as described in U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.136.

The following information is for this gas mixture.

ODOR THRESHOLD: 0.13 ppm (Hydrogen Sulfide)
APPEARANCE AND COLOR: This gas mixture is a colorless gas which has an rotten egg-like odor, due to the presence of Hydrogen Sulfide.
HOW TO DETECT THIS SUBSTANCE (warning properties): Continuous inhalation of low concentrations of this gas mixture may cause
olfactory fatigue, due to the presence of Hydrogen Sulfide, so the odor is not a good warning property of a release of this gas mixture. In terms of
leak detection, fittings and joints can be painted with a soap solution to detect leaks, which will be indicated by a bubble formation. Wet lead
acetate paper can be used for leak detection. The paper turns black in the presence of Hydrogen Sulfide. Cadmium chloride solutions can also
be used. Cadmium solutions will turn yellow upon contact with Hydrogen Sulfide.
10. STABILITY and REACTIVITY

STABILITY: Normally stable in gaseous state.
DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: The thermal decomposition products of Methane include carbon oxides. The decomposition products of
Hydrogen Sulfide include water and sulfur oxides. The other components of this gas mixture do not decompose, per se, but can react with other
compounds in the heat of a fire.
MATERIALS WITH WHICH SUBSTANCE IS INCOMPATIBLE: Titanium will burn in Nitrogen (the main component of this gas mixture). Lithium
reacts slowly with Nitrogen at ambient temperatures. Components of this gas mixture (Hydrogen Sulfide and Methane) are also incompatible with
strong oxidizers (i.e. chlorine, bromine pentafluoride, oxygen difluoride, and nitrogen trifluoride). Hydrogen Sulfide is corrosive to most metals,
because it reacts with these substances to form metal sulfides.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Contact with incompatible materials. Cylinders exposed to high temperatures or direct flame can rupture or burst.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION(Continued)
Mutagenicity: No mutagenicity effects have been described for the components of this gas mixture.
Embryotoxcity: No embryotoxic effects have been described for the components of this gas mixture.
Teratogenicity: No teratogenicity effects have been described for the components of this gas mixture.
Reproductive Toxicity: No reproductive toxicity effects have been described for the components of gas mixture.
A mutagen is a chemical which causes permanent changes to genetic material (DNA) such that the changes will propagate through generation
lines. An embryotoxin is a chemical which causes damage to a developing embryo (i.e. within the first eight weeks of pregnancy in humans), but
the damage does not propagate across generational lines. A teratogen is a chemical which causes damage to a developing fetus, but the damage
does not propagate across generational lines. A reproductive toxin is any substance which interferes in any way with the reproductive process.
BIOLOGICAL EXPOSURE INDICES (BEIs): Currently, Biological Exposure Indices (BEIs) have not been determined for the components of this
gas mixture.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

ENVIRONMENTAL STABILITY: The gas will be dissipated rapidly in well-ventilated areas. The following environmental data are applicable to the
components of this gas mixture.
HYDROGEN SULFIDE:
Water Solubility = 1 g/242 mL at 20C.
Plant toxicity: Continuous fumigation of plants with 300 or 3000 ppb Hydrogen Sulfide caused leaf lesions, defoliation, and reduced growth with severity of injury
correlated to dose. At higher (3.25 and 5.03 ppm) Hydrogen Sulfide, significant reductions in leaf CO2 and water vapor exchanges occurred, and stomatal
openings were depressed. When Hydrogen Sulfide gas was applied to 29 species of green plants for 5 hours, young, rapidly elongating tissues were more
sensitive to injury than older tissues. Symptoms included scorching of young shoots and leaves, basal and marginal scorching of older leaves. Mature leaves
were unaffected. Seeds exposed to Hydrogen Sulfide gas showed delay in germination.
Persistence: Converts to elemental sulfur upon standing in water.
Major Species Threatened: Aquatic and animal life plants may be injured if exposed to 5 ppm in air over 24 hours.
Biodegradation: Microorganisms in soil and water are involved in oxidation-reduction reactions that oxidize hydrogen sulfide to elemental sulfur. Members of the
genera Beggiatoa, Thioploca, and Thiotrix function in transition zones between aerobic and anaerobic conditions where both molecular oxygen and hydrogen
sulfide are found. Also, some photosynthetic bacteria oxidize hydrogen sulfide to elemental sulfur. Members of the families Chlorobiaceae and Chromatiaceae
(purple sulfur bacteria) are obligate aerobes and are phototropic, and are found in waters with high H2S concentrations. The interactions of these organisms form
part of the global sulfur cycle.
Bioconcentration: Does not have bioaccumulation or food chain contamination potential.
OXYGEN: Water Solubility = 1 volume Oxygen/32 volumes water at 20C. Log Kow = -0.65
NITROGEN: Water Solubility = 2.4 volumes Nitrogen/100 volumes water at 0C. 1.6 volumes Nitrogen/100 volumes water at 20C.
EFFECT OF MATERIAL ON PLANTS or ANIMALS: Due to the presence of Hydrogen Sulfide in this gas mixture, releases of this gas mixture can
be harmful or fatal to plant and animal life.
EFFECT OF CHEMICAL ON AQUATIC LIFE: Hydrogen Sulfide, a component of this gas mixture, is harmful if released in an aquatic environment.
All handling procedures should be aimed at preventing a release of Hydrogen Sulfide to the environment. The following aquatic toxicity data are
available for Hydrogen Sulfide:

16. OTHER INFORMATION
INFORMATION ABOUT DOT-39 NRC (Non-Refillable Cylinder) PRODUCTS
DOT 39 cylinders ship as hazardous materials when full. Once the cylinders are relieved of pressure (empty) they are not considered
hazardous material or waste. Residual gas in this type of cylinder is not an issue because toxic gas mixtures are prohibited. Calibration gas
mixtures typically packaged in these cylinders are Nonflammable n.o.s., UN 1956. A small percentage of calibration gases packaged in DOT
39 cylinders are flammable or oxidizing gas mixtures.
For disposal of used DOT-39 cylinders, it is acceptable to place them in a landfill if local laws permit. Their disposal is no different than that
employed with other DOT containers such as spray paint cans, household aerosols, or disposable cylinders of propane (for camping, torch
etc.). When feasible, we recommended recycling for scrap metal content. CALGAZ will do this for any customer that wishes to return
cylinders to us prepaid. All that is required is a phone call to make arrangements so we may anticipate arrival. Scrapping cylinders involves
some preparation before the metal dealer may accept them. We perform this operation as a service to valued customers who want to
participate.
MIXTURES: When two or more gases or liquefied gases are mixed, their hazardous properties may combine to create additional, unexpected
hazards. Obtain and evaluate the safety information for each component before you produce the mixture. Consult an Industrial Hygienist or
other trained person when you make your safety evaluation of the end product. Remember, gases and liquids have properties which can
cause serious injury or death.

ral gas sample for the presence of 0-100 ppm levels of
Hydrogen Sulfide. This system is used to insure that
H2S levels in natural gas collection lines remains at ac-
ceptable levels to help guard against the corrosive ef-
fects of H2S on compressors, pipelines and process
equipment. It is intended for continuous monitoring prior
to the addition of odorants to the gas.
