Oxygen detectors must be installed at oxygen filling stations where oxygen-rich gases are present. What is the protection radius of such detectors? Are there any relevant standards and specifications?
I only know about the 7.5-meter radius for flammable and toxic substances; I have no idea about oxygen. Study harder!
Are there no relevant standards or specifications? Some say 7.5m, while others say it should be based on toxic gases.
I hadn’t noticed this issue before; I’ll solve it in the same way.
Are you that sure? Is there any evidence?
In the oxygen production workshop, oxygen probes are installed – what are the requirements regarding the spacing between them, and which standards should be followed?
This issue becomes complex when studied in depth, as it requires calculating models for the diffusion of leaked gases; therefore, there’s no need to overcomplicate things – just follow the standards related to flammability and toxicity. It’s essential, however, to identify the source of the leak, with sensors placed near that location. One thing to note is that in oxygen filling workshops, oxygen sensors measure the upper limit, which is 23%. Exceeding this value increases the risk of fire, as oxygen acts as a fuel, and levels above a certain threshold can cause other materials to catch fire.
Has this discussion reached a conclusion again? The new version of GB50493 has been released, but it does not provide a clear definition for the detection range of oxygen
