What is the setting range of low report and high report of combustible gas alarm?

Publication Date:2024/12/06

Combustible gas alarm as the 1 kind of important safety equipment, bear the important task of monitoring the concentration of combustible gas in the environment, can send out early warning signal in time before the gas concentration rises to the dangerous threshold. In this process, the setting range of under-report and over-report is very important to ensure the effectiveness and safety of combustible gas alarm. So do you know the setting range of combustible gas alarm ? The following is a brief introduction by yiyuntian electronics:


 combustible gas alarm


low level of combustible gas alarm highlight setting range, certain standards and codes are usually followed to ensure that the alarm can be issued in time before the concentration of combustible gas reaches dangerous levels.The following is a detailed explanation of the setting range of combustible gas alarm under-report and over-report:


1. underreporting setting range

underreporting (also called alarm) setting of the primary combustible gas alarm the range is generally adjustable between 5% and 40% of the lower explosive limit (LEL). But more commonly, the underreporting is set at 25% LEL, or between 15% LEL and 25% LEL according to national regulations. This set value is intended for early warning. When the concentration of combustible gas is close to but has not yet reached the explosion hazard level, the combustible gas alarm can issue an alarm to remind the operator to take timely measures.


2. overstatement setting range


combustible gas alarm is usually fixed, the general setting is 50% LEL. This means that when the concentration of combustible gas reaches or exceeds 50% of the lower explosive limit, the combustible gas alarm will issue a higher level alarm to further remind the operator to pay attention and take emergency measures.


3. setup basis and considerations


> Set: the range of under-reporting and over-reporting of combustible gas alarms is usually set according to relevant national standards and specifications, such as GBT 50493-2019. Petrochemical combustible gas and toxic gas detection alarm design standards, etc. These standards and specifications specify the measurement range and alarm value setting requirements of combustible gas alarms to ensure that their performance and quality meet safety requirements.


gas types and characteristics: different types of combustible gases have different lower explosion limits and toxicity characteristics. therefore, the setting range of low report and high report of combustible gas alarm needs to be adjusted according to the characteristics of the measured gas.


application scenarios and requirements: the setting range of combustible gas alarm should also consider the requirements of application scenarios, such as industrial environment, commercial environment or home environment. Different application scenarios may have different requirements for security warning, so it needs to be adjusted and optimized according to the actual situation.


Calibration and maintenance: The combustible gas alarm should be calibrated and maintained regularly to ensure its accuracy and reliability.At the same time, the operator should be familiar with the use of combustible gas alarms and the meaning of alarm signals, so that they can quickly take correct countermeasures when receiving an alarm.


To sum up, we can see that the setting range of low report and high report of combustible gas alarm is determined according to relevant national standards and specifications, the characteristics of the measured gas and the requirements of application scenarios. By reasonably setting the alarm value of the combustible gas alarm, it can be ensured that the alarm is issued in time before the combustible gas concentration reaches the dangerous level, thereby effectively preventing potential safety risks.
