Use an industrial grade detector - the residential types are not intrins ically safe and would not pass OSHA electrical code for laboratory use - too many potential flammables. We have been cited in industry for usin g residential type items unless they are intrinsically safe or double in sulated, etc. Lynn Knudtson ---------- Original Message ---------- From: Matt LundgrenTo: DCHAS-L**At_Symbol_Here**LIST.UVM.EDU Subject: [DCHAS-L] CO Detector for Academic Lab Date: Wed, 9 Jun 2010 14:59:48 -0400 It seems we have more and more labs wanting to work with carbon monoxide and I'm wondering when you require a detector and what type. Where do you d raw the line for requiring a detector? Do you allow residential detectors f or certain processes? When do you require a detector be linked into a communicatio n system for alarms, security, etc? Is this based upon quantity, the proc ess, all of the above? The labs will have quantities ranging from 80-140 cubic feet in a single cylinder.
