GD Fundamentals
This unit of measurement is most commonly used to express the value of Toxic gas readings.
What is Parts Per Million (PPM).
Silicone and Sulfur Based compounds have this type of effect on a Catalytic Diffusion Sensor.
What is a Poisioning Effect.
This is functional test is performed to verify Sensor and Alarm Operation.
What is a Bump Test
This Single Gas Monitor uses 2 Sensors to detect 1 Gas type.
What is the Tango TX1.
This function establishes a baseline for all readings as well as Calibrates the O2 sensor. (and it should always be performed in Fresh Air)
What is Zeroing the instrument.
This is the minimum concentration of a combustible gas which becomes explosive when mixed with air and presented with an ignition source.
What is Lower Explosive Limit (LEL)
This term is used to describe the affect that Hydrogen gas has on a Carbon Monoxide Sensors.
What is Cross-Sensitivity.
This is a monthly test to tune the accuracy of the sensors.
What is a Calibration.
This rugged and reliable gas monitor can detect up to 4 gases, including Combustible, CO, H2S, NO2, SO2, and Oxygen. But cannot use and IR or PID sensors.
What is the Ventis MX4.
This reference document displays the the operational flow screens of the device, as well as the congifuration menu and how to access the configuration screens.
What are flow charts.
This is the concentration of Atmospheric Oxygen.
What is 20.9%? (20.954%)
This is the typical amount of time it takes an Electrochemical sensor to fully saturate and provide a 100% response to the present gas?
What is 120 seconds (2mins).
This is the ISC recommendation for frequency of a Bump Test.
What is Prior to each days use.
This Single Gas Monitor offers a sensor to detect Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2).
What is the Gas Badge Pro.
This step clears the highest reading of Toxic and Combustible Gas, and lowest reading of Oxygen.
What is clearing the peaks.
This reading (found on any ISC instrument) will show you the average amount of a toxic gas you've been exposed to over 8 hours / day. (when using default settings)
What is the Time Weighted Average (TWA)
This sensor can measure trace amounts of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), and has a measuring range of 0.1 - 2000PPM.
What is the PID sensor.
Or Photoionization Detector.
These devices enable instument alarms to be updated to iNet Control via the cloud. They also ensure instruments are maintained within a scheduled routine.
What is the DSX-i Docking Station.
This device can be attached to certain diffusion gas monitors enabling them to take remote atmospheric samples.
What are Ventis Slide On Pumps.
Or, Slide on Pumps.
This is a step defined by the Manual Operations Four Steps, but is not defined in the Docking Station Operations Four Steps.
What is Bump Test.
Becasue it occurs automaically during the Docking phase.
Industrial Scientific instruments detect: combustible gases, oxygen levels, and combustible gases; but most importantly are this. (meaning that they will never be the source of an ignition)
What is Intrinsically Safe.
This describes amount of energy required to split a chemical into electrically charged particles. (measured in electron volts)
What is Ionization Potential.
This measurement is a record of the typical amount of Sensor life remaining.
What is Span Reserve Value.
This monitor, designed to be the IH's best friend, can detect up to 6 gases at one time, and supports all ISC sensor types.
What is the iBrid MX6.
This type of tubing material is recommended when sampling any Exotic Toxic gases such as HCL, Cl2, ClO2, NH3, or VOCs.
What is teflon lined tubing.
