Abstract: Odorant monitoring is a complex subject. Odorant concentration test instruments have been in use for approximately fifty years and many users are satisfied with their reliability. There are others, however, who feel that the test results of these instruments are meaningless. Since both sides in this disagreement are using the same type of instrument, the problem appears to surround the manner in which the odor level test is taught and run. There are as many ways to make an odorant concentration evaluation as there are gas companies. Although research has been conducted to determine the effect of odorant on the olfactory sense, no large scale scientific study has used odor level test instruments. In other words, no research, beyond that conducted by individual gas companies, has determined the proper way to use these instruments. NevKiheless, many gas companies are convinced that these instruments make gas systems safer.
