Description / Abstract:
This Practice provides guidelines for the selection, design, and
application of fixed gas monitoring detectors installed in process
areas to detect the presence of combustible, oxygen, or toxic
gases.
This Practice addresses detectors permanently installed for
ambient air monitoring (e.g., leak detection, oxygen depletion).
The technologies included are catalytic bead, infrared, and
electrochemical.
This Practice does not cover portable gas monitoring equipment,
analyzers, or sampling systems.
The systems used to perform data acquisition, alarming, and
control action are not covered by this Practice because the
solutions are diverse and can include stand-alone to advanced
multisystem configurations.
