What regulations require the installation of flammable gas alarms?
Publication Date:2022/11/24 As we all know, due to the possibility of flammable gases exploding at any time, in order to ensure safety and allow people to better maintain normal production work, there are clear requirements for the installation of flammable gas alarms in some regulations, which can greatly improve the safety factor of flammable and explosive areas. Do you know what regulations require you to install Combustible Gas Alarm ? The following is an introduction by Yi Yuntian:

The following regulations require the installation of a combustible gas alarm:
1. article 10.3.2 of the GBJ16-87 code for fire protection in building design (revised edition 2001): class a buildings and places that emit combustible gas and combustible vapor shall be equipped with combustible gas concentration leak detection alarm devices.
2. article 4.6.11 of the GB50160-92 "code for design of fire protection for petrochemical enterprises" (revised edition in 1999): the principle of combining area control and key control should be followed in devices using or producing class a gas or class a and class a liquid, set the combustible gas alarm probe.
3. article 5.1.4 of the GB50160-92 code for design of fire protection for petrochemical enterprises (revised edition 1999): combustible gas alarm shall be set up in places where class a gas and liquid may leak.
4. In addition to these laws and regulations, the other is based on the safety acceptance evaluation guidelines "safety acceptance evaluation guidelines" (safety supervision technical package word [2003] No. 79) 6.1.4 evaluation of flammable and explosive places
(1) conformity inspection of explosion hazard area division.
(2) Installation and inspection of combustible gas leak detection alarm.
(3) Installation approval of explosion-proof electrical equipment.
(4) Fire inspection (mainly to check whether fire safety approval has been obtained).
(5) Evaluation results. In the installation inspection of the combustible gas leak detection alarm device, it is mentioned that the combustible gas alarm must be installed.
(6) in the GB50116-2013 of "automatic fire alarm design specification", item 5.1.1 content. Where there is a risk of combustible gas use, production, storage, and leakage, a combustible gas alarm should be installed.
In summary, we can see that there are many places where combustible gas alarms need to be installed to ensure safety, such as chemical plants, integrated circuit workshops, gas laboratories, oil refineries, power plants, gas company pressure regulating stations, oil production wells, gasoline storage and transportation, gas stations, large canteens, public places to detect air quality, steel plants, coal mines Food packaging, pharmaceuticals, oil depots, underground parking lots, family kitchens, biogas stations, etc., are really many, many, and will be used in all aspects. Class I explosion-proof places, hotel kitchens, restaurants and canteens, boiler rooms, liquefied gas stations and all units that use, store, manufacture and contain combustible gas must be installed.
