4、4. This document has been prepared as part of the service of ISA toward a goal of uniformity in the field of instrumentation. To be of real value, this document should not be static but should be subject to periodic review. Toward this end, the Society welcomes all comments and criticisms and asks t
5、hat they be addressed to the Secretary, Standards and Practices Board; ISA; 67 Alexander Drive; P. O. Box 12277; Research Triangle Park, NC 27709; Telephone (919) 549-8411; Fax (919) 549-8288; E-mail: standardsisa.org. The ISA Standards and Practices Department is aware of the growing need for atten
6、tion to the metric system of units in general, and the International System of Units (SI) in particular, in the preparation of instrumentation standards. The Department is further aware of the benefits to USA users of ISA standards of incorporating suitable references to the SI (and the metric syste
7、m) in their business and professional dealings with other countries. Toward this end, this Department will endeavor to introduce SI-acceptable metric units in all new and revised standards, recommended practices, and technical reports to the greatest extent possible. IEEE/ASTM SI 10, American Nation
8、al Standard for Metric Practice, and future revisions, will be the reference guide for definitions, symbols, abbreviations, and conversion factors. It is the policy of ISA to encourage and welcome the participation of all concerned individuals and interests in the development of ISA standards, recom
9、mended practices, and technical reports. Participation in the ISA standards-making process by an individual in no way constitutes endorsement by the employer of that individual, of ISA, or of any of the standards, recommended practices, and technical reports that ISA develops.

Health effects may include severe skin or eye
42、 irritation, pulmonary edema, neurotoxicity, or other potentially fatal conditions 4 Fixed installation Where toxic gas detection is intended as a method of personnel protection, which requires installation of toxic gas detection equipment, the conditions set forth in this section are recommended to
43、 be followed. Toxic gas detection may be used as a method of protection in the following types of locations: a) Interior of building. In an enclosed location at an industrial facility in which chemical materials are stored, handled, or processed in which toxic chemicals exist in quantities that if r
44、eleased into the atmosphere might create a hazardous condition, b) Interior of a building. In a building, at an industrial facility located in, or with an opening into, a building in which toxic chemicals are stored, handled or processed; location where the interior does not contain a source of toxi
45、c gas, c) Exterior to buildings. That portion of an industrial facility that is not enclosed within a building or structure in which toxic chemicals are stored or handled, such as tank farms and pressure vessels. - 17 - ANSI/ISA-TR92.00.03-2014 4.1 General Subclauses 4.1 through 4.4 provide general
46、recommended practices for applying toxic gas detection as a method of protection. Toxic gas detection alarm levels will be set at ppm (parts per million) levels. Setting of toxic alarm levels is very subjective. Evaluation of (TLV)-TWA, (TLV) STEL, and “C” ceiling levels are generally used to determ
47、ine alarm values for most toxic gases. Other toxic gas values to be evaluated are IDLH, PEL and REL. All alarm levels must be well below IDLH levels. In areas where the presence of flammable gas is likely to exist and flammable gas detection is used, these sensors might provide more sensitive detect
48、ion of toxic gases than would toxic gas sensors. It is important to evaluate the chemical makeup of all fluids involved in the process that could produce toxic gas or vapors. In some cases both combustible and toxic gas detection is required. 4.2 Criteria for use a) The criteria for use of toxic gas
49、 detection equipment as a method of protection include all of the following: The area to be protected 1) is an industrial establishment; 2) has restricted public access. b) System installation and maintenance are performed only by qualified and trained personnel. c) Alarm levels are selected by qualified personnel, specifically for the facility in which the toxic detectors are installed. d) The equipment should be permanently mounted and preferably Listed for the detection of the specific gas to be monitored as determined by qualified personnel or by the Authority Having Jurisdict
