Help needed for regular inspection of toxic gas detectors!
Thread Content
Dear sea friends, what type of calibration gas should be used for the regular testing of toxic gas detectors designed to detect propyl cyanohydrin? Can hydrogen sulfide be used?
By using a calibration gas, it is possible to determine the approximate range of such gases based on the composition of the products resulting from the natural decomposition of the material in air. Then, by considering the concentration of these decomposition products (using the one with the highest concentration), a similar calibration gas can be found for use in calibration. Since the physical property data of the said material are not known, this method can be used as a reference for determination
I’m not very familiar with propyl cyanohydrin, but based on common understanding, it’s definitely not possible; the sensors in toxic gas detectors are designed specifically for detecting various toxic gases, and a sensor designed to detect propyl cyanohydrin would likely not respond to hydrogen sulfide. Why don’t you just use the standard gas of propyl cyanohydrin?
