Four major problems that need to be paid attention to when using portable gas detectors
With the development of the economy and the improvement of people's living standards, people are paying more and more attention to health and safety issues. In addition to paying attention to the safety of daily life, food, housing and transportation, people have gradually paid attention to the hazards of gases, especially industrial toxic and harmful gases. Therefore, many companies have taken many protective measures to protect against toxic gases. For example, employees working in toxic gas environments need to wear corresponding gas masks and protective clothing, install fixed gas detectors at equipment interfaces and valves, and use portable gas detectors. Regularly detect and record the concentration of harmful gases in the air in specific areas. The choice of gas detectors should be based on specific conditions, and appropriate detection equipment should be selected. Four major issues should also be paid attention to when using them:
Four major problems that need to be paid attention to when using portable gas detectors
1. Pay attention to the service life of the instrument. Different gas detectors have different service life. When purchasing, you should ask about the service life of the instrument and use it within the warranty period. In order to save money, some companies use a detector for several years. Replacement, gas detection is just for show, and it will eventually harm others and ourselves.
2. Pay attention to the interference of gas on instrument detection We usually use a single gas detector to detect a specific gas when detecting gas leaks, but there is often more than one gas in the detection environment, so we should pay attention to other gases Whether it will interfere with the detection of the instrument and make the detection result inaccurate.
3. Pay attention to the concentration range detected by the gas detector. Before the detection, in addition to estimating the types of toxic and harmful gases based on experience in advance, it is also necessary to roughly estimate the gas concentration. Set the alarm value through the gas detector for detection. When the gas concentration When the detection range of the instrument is exceeded, the detector should be turned off. If the gas detector is in the over-range detection state for a long time, it will cause serious damage to the instrument, resulting in inaccurate detection or direct scrapping.
4. Pay attention to the maintenance of the instrument. Like other equipment, the gas detector should also pay attention to regular maintenance. It should be calibrated and tested from time to time, and stored in a lower temperature environment to prolong its service life.
