There are settings related to the flammability and toxicity of formaldehyde

2017-01-05View Original

Thread Content

I’m seeking advice from everyone: when using formaldehyde in a factory, should it be detected as a flammable gas or as a toxic gas? According to the standards, it should be detected as a toxic gas. What is the detection range for toxic gases? According to the standards, it should be very low – the measurement range is around 10 ppm; the alarm level is set at 5 ppm already. What type of toxic gas detector is capable of achieving such precision? How is the factory performing? Do you call the police often?

For details, please refer to the GB50493-2009 standard

It must be set at a toxic level; refer to GB50493-2009 for the set value. The alarm value is 100% of the maximum allowable concentration, which is 3 mg/m3.

The question is: if the alarm threshold is 3 mg/m3, what type of sensor should be used for measurement? Are there any devices on the market that can measure such a small range?
