Subject: Re: CO Detector for Academic Lab

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.

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.
Thanks,
Matt
