This post was last edited by shiworkstation on 2017-3-28 09:47. According to experts in safety assessments, regular gas stations do not install combustible gas alarms. What’s going on? What’s the basis? The key is that I didn’t ask the expert why at the time. During the second review, all experts agreed that it was not necessary to install a combustible gas alarm. The reasons were mentioned in the post below: such alarms are only required in stations that handle compressed gas; there is no requirement for them in ordinary gas stations, and it is indeed possible to omit their installation. If an expert believes it’s not necessary, there might be a problem ； Since both groups of experts agree that it’s not necessary to include it, then it won’t be included.
The experts in the expert group may be genuine or not, and what they say is not necessarily reliable. You might have visited many gas stations without seeing it
This expert said it’s not necessary to do that, but the expert who comes next might have to do it...
I believe that it is necessary to comply with the relevant regulations, following the requirements of GB50493-2009 Code for Design of Detection and Alarm Systems for Flammable and Toxic Gases in Petrochemical Industries, as well as GB 50156-2012 (2014 edition) Code for Design and Construction of Gasoline and CNG Filling Stations. Section 11.4.1 of the latter code stipulates that gas filling stations and stations that combine gasoline and CNG filling functions must be equipped with systems for detecting and alerting to flammable gases.
Don’t listen to experts; look for the relevant standards! The explanation on the 5th floor was very thorough!
I haven’t seen any such installations at gas stations these days, nor is there anyone to check them; everyone has a different opinion.
Gas stations are generally built outdoors.
Gasoline and diesel stations operate outdoors, as the relative volatility of gasoline and diesel is low. Therefore, a combustible gas alarm is not installed.
There are surely many cases of flammable gas leaks at gas stations, and there should be regulations regarding this.
