Back to the Basics: Temperature Effects on LFL
So we know what the LFL is and how it's determined, but what about the factors that can effect these values?
Back to the Basics: Limits to solvent vapor concentration
The authorities have determined that certain industrial processes can proceed at solvent vapor concentrations up to, but not exceeding, some percentage of the Lower Flammable Limit.
In general, there are two cases:
Back to the Basics: Safe reduction of ventilation
Last week we discussed the 2 cases at which the authorities have determined that certain industrial processes can proceed at solvent vapor concentrations up to, but not exceeding, some percentage of the Lower Flammable Limit.
Let’s focus on case #2: What happens when an analyzer and control system are used?
Back to the Basics: The Steady State
In order to determine the suitability of a particular analyzer system, it is useful to study potential process upsets.
There are two main types of process upsets that could present a hazardous condition:
