Texas Stateway Rule 36, H2S Safety:

H2S Concentration (ppm) = 3,900 < 100,000 ppm
H2S Flow Rate (P3/min) = 345.00 = 496,800 P3/Day

H2S Radius of Exposure at 100 ppm = 152 ft. = 46.5 m.

H2S Radius of Exposure at 500 ppm = 70 ft. = 21.2 m.

Note: Fill the cells in yellow color

API Recommended Practice, API - RP 55:

H2S Concentration (ppm) = 100
H2S Flow Rate (P3/min) = 186.20
Type of Release, Continuous (C) or Puff (P) = C
Time, Day (D) or Night (N) = D

Constant A, from Table C-1 of API RP 55 = 0.58

Constant B, from Table C-1 of API RP 55 = 0.42

H2S Radius of Exposure at 100 ppm = 589 ft.
