Oxygen (21% in Air)

lower explosive limit (LEL) percentage of gas , by volume below the mixture is too weak to burn insufficient fuel/too much air
Flammable (Explosive) limits
Upper Explosive limit (UEL) percentage of gas , by volume below the mixture is too rich to burn insufficient air / too mich fuel
