Eye washers for safety and environmental protection
Thread Content
This workshop consists of 7 units, 5 of which are equipped with eye wash stations. Of these 5 units with eye wash stations, the piping for the eye wash stations in 4 units is made of stainless steel, while that in 1 unit is made of carbon steel. I’m asking everyone whether there are any standard requirements regarding the material of the pipelines in eye wash stations – must it be stainless steel?
It seems there are no specific material requirements
SH/T 3205-2019 Code for Design of Emergency Scouring Systems in Petrochemical Industries 6.1 ......The materials shall meet the requirements of the operating environment
GB/T 38144-2019 specifies material requirements in 5.2.1.3, 6.2.1.5, and 7.2.1.5 regarding emergency spraying and eye-washing systems for facial protection; the materials used must not contaminate the rinsing fluid and shall comply with **the standards applicable to drinking water distribution. The specific material is not specified. It might be necessary to check the standards regarding the distribution of drinking water.
