Printed in the United States of America FOREWORD (This foreword is not part of American National Standard ANSI/ISEA 102-1990) This standard has been drafted to establish a voluntary standard for gas
9、 detector tube units. The standard was developed from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), originally titled 42 Code of Federal Regulations 84-1973. Its use was discontinued in recent years. The purpose of this standard is to provide a means of continual testing of gas
10、detector tube units and components for accurate performance in working environments, by determining the concentration of toxic gases and vapors. This standard was processed and approved for submittal to ANSI by the Canvass Method. The following organizations recognized as having an interest in the s

The tube unit as defined herein
31、 consists only of components supplied by the same manufacturer. 4. Required Information 4.1 Each component or set of components shall include instructions stating the additional components with which it has been manufactured for use as a tube unit meeting the requirements of this standard. 4.2 Each
32、sampling pump shall be accompanied by instructions that shall enable the user to verify by a simple field test the capability for accurate flow rate or proper time to fill the pump to full volume, and to verify the absence of leakage. Instructions shall also be provided for making simple corrective
33、adjustments to the pump and for replacing minor parts. 4.3 Each box of gas detector tubes shall be labeled with the following minimum information: (1) Identification of the contaminant or contaminants for which the tubes were manufactured and designed to measure. (2) Test standard range. (3) The exp
