COMPASS Requirements for F2 inspection

( These are some points I collected - by experience - which have to be fulfilled before usage of flammable gas is  allowed. )

• each metal part of the installation has to be grounded

   

• fragile parts of the installation (bubblers for example) have to be protected (by plexiglas plates for example)

   

• a barrier around the installation has to be provided, for example by white-red plastic chains (EDH-SCEM: 45.75.45.008.7)

  

   

• safety signs (EDH-SCEM: 50.55.90.005.0) have to be installed which indicate the usage of flammable gas

  

   

• the leak rate of the installation (meassured!) has to be known
  • if it is too big (which is the decision of the FGSO / TIS representative) proper ventilation or flushing by air/N₂ has to be installed

   

• a (operational !) gas detection system dedicated for the installation is required

   

• a portable gas detector has to be availiable

   

• a fire extinguisher must be nearby
