What are the misconceptions and precautions for using combustible gas detectors
The combustible gas detector is one of the most commonly used instruments in our work, and its main function is to monitor the concentration of toxic and harmful substances in our workspace. It is often used in industries such as chemical, petroleum, and mining. Some incorrect usage methods can lead to the malfunction of combustible gas detectors, which not only has a serious impact on our work but also poses a serious threat to our physical health. Let's learn about the misconceptions of using combustible gas detectors together!
1. Some people believe that gas detectors should alarm as long as they detect a combustible gas leak. If there is no alarm, the gas detector may malfunction.
The combustible gas detector is equipped with a gas concentration value, and an alarm will only occur when the combustible gas in the working space reaches the set value.
2. The combustible gas detector can exceed the range. Some company staff are still using gas detectors that exceed the detection range.
Each gas detector has its own fixed inspection range, which can ensure the correctness and accuracy of the gas detector's detection data. However, the values detected outside the detection range for a long time are inaccurate and cannot be used as correct data. Therefore, gas detectors can only be used within the specified range.
The results detected by the gas detector are the basis for choosing personal protective equipment and a guarantee of physical health, so we must not be careless. Only by understanding these misconceptions can we avoid incorrect use of gas detectors.
