Carbon Monoxide
Reference data and engineering information about carbon monoxide for gases and compressed air applications.
carbonmonoxide
Overview
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, toxic gas produced by incomplete combustion. It has properties similar to nitrogen (same molecular weight) but with different thermodynamic behavior.
