Acetylene is a colorless, flammable, and explosive gas at room temperature, commonly used in places such as petroleum and chemical industries. There is a risk of severe explosion in both liquid and solid or gaseous states under certain pressure. Factors such as heat, vibration, and electric sparks can cause explosions. Installing acetylene gas detectors can effectively prevent losses caused by acetylene gas leaks to enterprises. . So where is the appropriate place to install an acetylene gas alarm? What issues should be noted during the installation process?

Installation standard for acetylene gas alarm

The acetylene gas alarm is divided into two parts: gas detector and alarm controller host. Gas detectors are installed in the tested area, and the specific number of gas detectors depends on the size of the tested area. The controller host is installed in the duty room.

1. Installation standards for acetylene gas detector

Acetylene gas leaks and floats upwards. The installation position of the gas detector is determined by the specific gravity of the gas being measured. If the specific gravity of the measured gas is high, it needs to be installed at a distance of 30-50 centimeters from the ground. On the contrary, the specific gravity of the measured gas is greater than that of air. If there is a small leak and it floats down, it should be installed 30-50 centimeters away from the roof, so acetylene gas detectors are more suitable for installation 30-50 centimeters away from the roof.

The host of the alarm controller is usually placed in the duty room. These workers can hear and see. The installation height can be determined by oneself. No specific requirements, 150-170 centimeters is sufficient.
