• Description:
  A brief discussion has been presented on the principles of detection and measurement of gases by directreading instruments. These techniques range from traditional methods involving well-known physical principles of conductivity, coulometry, and colorimetry, to advanced methods of Raman scattering and chemiluminescence; from the traditional point sampling methods to the latest long-path, electro-optical schemes. The merits of any particular measurement technique have to be judged both by the performance specifications of the instrument and the conditions under which the application of the instrument is to be made.
