Is it necessary to make the wall between the argon gas cylinders into a reinforced concrete explosion-proof wall?
Thread Content
Since the process requires high-purity argon, a pressure reduction system was designed; high-pressure argon is supplied by argon cylinder sets, at 15 MPa, with each cylinder holding 40 L of gas – a total of 72 cylinders. Since the station building is located within a public vehicle workshop, it is unclear whether its walls need to be made of reinforced concrete blast-resistant walls I’m reaching out to experienced seniors for help; it would be great if they could tell me which standard specifies these requirements.
Personally, I think it’s worth taking a look at the requirements regarding calibration gases for analyzers.
Personally, I don’t think it’s necessary; argon is an inert gas – there’s no risk of combustion or explosion. The only possible issue is a physical explosion, but with proper supervision of the cylinders (during manufacturing and annual inspections), problems are basically unlikely to occur~~
The station building is located in the utility room; since argon is an inert gas, proper ventilation is necessary.
Yes, it is recommended – under certain conditions – to install a constant oxygen analyzer on-site to measure the oxygen content in the atmospheric air at that location~~
Installing a constant oxygen analyzer is a bit expensive. It is sufficient to ensure air circulation while preventing theft.
Constants are very cheap~~If there’s enough space and good ventilation, it’s not necessary to install them~~
