Meeting NFPA 86: Reading Error

August 28, 2015

An interesting conversation arose after last week's discussion on calibration accuracy. What happens when a variety of solvents are used in a process? 

A note in NFPA 86 section 11.6.10.6 states “Where a variety of solvents are used, the solvent to which the controller is least sensitive shall be the primary calibration reference.”

Meeting NFPA 86: Active Sampling System

August 7, 2015

Last week we discussed the 6 essentials of meeting NFPA 86. Let’s take a closer look at the first monitoring requirement: Sample delivery system (section 11.6.10.11).

It is recommended that process applications employ active sample draw systems to continuously deliver a sample to the solvent vapor monitor.
