The CoGDEM Guide to Gas Detection now Available in Amazon

摘要

This book was created by the Council of Gas Detection and Environmental Monitoring (CoGDEM) as a reference book to provide guidance on key aspects of workplace gas detection focusing on regulations and standards affecting the UK. It draws on the previous experience of the CoGDEM Gas Detection and Calibration Guide from 1999 and the Sira's 2004/5 Gas Detector Selection and Calibration Guide, with updated and current information and a wider scope than the previous guides. Gas detectors form an integral part of safety systems - they are vital in protecting human and environmental life. Although our modern industrial world needs gases for manufacturing processes and us as humans need oxygen, it's the dangerous and toxic gases that are created as by-products that need to be monitored and controlled to prevent possible explosions, damaged health and death. There are many factors to consider when selecting and maintaining a gas detector to ensure the product meets its potential and fulfils its expected product life and this guide aims to help users of such equipment consider these factors. We have already established that gas detection is vital in maintaining a safe environment and the gas detection industry is well regulated by CoGDEM (outlined below), however, the detection equipment is only as good as the user and therefore thorough training, maintenance and calibration must be carried out correctly.
