ISA TR12.13.03-2009 Guide for Combustible Gas Detection as a Method of Protection

standard by The International Society of Automation, 12/14/2009

Full Description

Combustible gas detection used for process safety management may also be used to provide protection from explosion or fires by minimizing the possibility of an accumulation of combustible gases reaching ignitable levels. Criteria are developed to establish combustible gas levels to initiate alarms, initiate increase in ventilation rates and to initiate shutdown of processes to shutoff the flow of combustible gas that has breached containment. It is the intent of this document to compile and refine techniques for the use of combustible gas sensors and controllers to monitor and control sources of combustible gas release into the atmosphere within designated spaces. It is also the intent that these products and techniques be adapted by industries and used with processes that have historically not employed combustible gas detection as a method of protection.
