Some experts are really of average competence

Thread Content

A while ago I participated in an installation review, and there were two different flammable gases involved; the experts insisted that detectors be installed separately. Isn’t that absurd! What is the principle behind catalytic combustion detectors, and can they be selective? But this expert has a good relationship with our company, and I felt embarrassed to insist on my own view. The person from the safety supervision agency said to me that these two gases should be used for calibration respectively, while the client said that we had already set up everything accordingly on site. The expert then told me to communicate well with the client to ensure that everything matches what’s on site. Ah! However, these experts seem to be quite familiar with **all those regulatory provisions; I’m just an outsider in this area.

Is it because of the large difference in air density that movement up and down is necessary?

There are many people who don’t pursue a thorough understanding... But it’s not necessary when it doesn’t involve principled issues. Okay, I’ll go back and make the changes. That’s it

Hehe, experts in China who are over 50 years old these days – if you do the math, they all attended university in the 70s or 80s; you can imagine what the standard was back then! Add to this the current expert evaluation system, which is relationship-driven; those who are able to evaluate experts are not those with high competence, but rather those with good connections! 10 experts, 8 water. There are various problems; it’s normal! Adapt to society; things will change gradually, but very slowly!

No, they are all heavier than air; they don’t understand the principle of detection

Experts in smaller areas, such as those at the city level, those with strong skills have already started their own companies; they certainly don’t have the time to engage in evaluation work. Also, it’s wrong for the original poster to say that people from the 1980s and 1990s couldn’t become college students; back then, those who attended college, whether at the undergraduate level or in junior college programs, were all top performers. In today’s times, such individuals would definitely be able to get into 211 universities, and even those who were slightly less talented could still enter prestigious first-tier universities.

In the chemical industry, experts who are over 50 years old generally started out at the grassroots level; there’s concern about experts who have only worked for a few years

As for what exactly those two gases are, I’m not speaking as an expert; in fact, there are many regulations, and some of them are simply something we ourselves are not aware of. We are also installing sensors in the hope of learning a bit more about them.

It seems to be trimethylamine and methanol! However, combustible gas detectors using catalytic combustion indeed cannot distinguish between different combustible gases; as long as a gas is combustible and its concentration is high enough, it will trigger an alarm!

Friend, what do you do for work?
