Common use of Hydrogen Clause in Contracts

Hydrogen. The percent combined hydrogen in a hydrocarbon fuel is a critical factor in controlling stack smoke levels. In general, the higher the hydrogen content in a liquid fuel the lower the smoke level will be. As an example: paraffinic hydrocarbons with high hydrogen contents (14-15%) have much less tendency to smoke than do aromatic hydrocarbons which can have 10% or less hydrogen. Hydrogen is usually determined by an accurate measurement of the amount of water produced in the controlled combustion of a weighed amount of fuel.
