Carbon monoxide (CO) gas is formed from the combination of a
carbon atom with an oxygen atom. Not only flammable, it is also very hazardous
since it is very toxic and odorless. It cannot sustain life and is produced,
among other things, from incomplete combustion due to lack of oxygen. It can
therefore cause domestic accidents if heating systems are poorly maintained. It
is produced on a large scale in industry, in combination with hydrogen, by
reforming hydrocarbons, generally natural gas. It is used in large quantities
to produce various intermediary organic chemicals, such as acetic acids,
isocyanates, formic acid, and also certain polymers such as polycarbonates and
polyketones.
The current Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) permissible exposure limit (PEL) for carbon monoxide is 50 parts per
million (ppm) parts of air (55 milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m(3)) as an
8-hour time-weighted average (TWA) concentration.
CO is the most common gas, which is detected for leakage, in
all sorts of industries. Leakages from combustion devices like boilers, gas
turbines, furnaces, heaters, incinerators, and from gas pipelines, and vessels,
are detected using handheld, and fixed gas detection systems.
Testo 317-3 is one of the commonly used gas detectors in the
industry. Its important to identify and stop a CO leakage at the earliest, and
hence, fast and accurate detection of the leaked gas is of primary importance. Testo 317-3 was developed to detect and
measure CO gas absolutely reliably, and in case of danger to provide warning
without delay.
The testo 317-3 is
absolutely insensitive to temperature fluctuations as well as humidity, and
identifies malfunctions on a burner quickly and securely. It reports just as
reliably when dangerous CO concentrations form in pellet stores - optically as
well as audibly. You can evaluate the danger quickly and precisely thanks to
the ppm display.

“Hi Friends,
ReplyDeleteI happened to visit the site www.steelsparrow.com and found they supply quality Engineering products. I was searching for Measuring Instrument product and found they have a good variety of products and I got through www.steelsparrow.com. Their service is best and feel that this is a useful resource for companies like us instead of searching the entire market and wasting our time and energy.
