Confined space precautions

D A N G E R

Explosion hazard. Training in pre-entry testing, ventilation, entry procedures, evacuation/rescue

procedures and safety work practices is necessary before entering confined spaces.

The information that follows is supplied to help users understand the dangers and risks that are

associated with entry into confined spaces.

On April 15, 1993, OSHA's final ruling on CFR 1910.146, Permit Required Confined Spaces, became

law. This standard directly affects more than 250,000 industrial sites in the United States and was

created to protect the health and safety of workers in confined spaces.

Definition of a confined space:

A confined space is any location or enclosure that has (or has the immediate potential for) one or

more of the following conditions:

• An atmosphere with an oxygen concentration that is less than 19.5% or more than 23.5% and/or a

hydrogen sulfide (H

2

S) concentration that is more than 10 ppm.

• An atmosphere that can be flammable or explosive due to gases, vapors, mists, dusts or fibers.

• Toxic materials which upon contact or inhalation can cause injury, impairment of health or death.

volume on page 19. If no, refer to Do not use variable volume on page 20.

Use variable volume

Sample pacing is constant time variable volume (CTVV).

1. Select or enter the values for each option.

Option Description

Select unit Select the flow units to use.

Map 4 mA input Enter the flow rate that agrees with 4 mA input.

Map 20 mA input Enter the flow rate that agrees with 20 mA input.

Average flow rate Specify the average flow rate for the site (1–999,999). The units are specified by

the units selected above.

Time volume desired Specify the total volume to be collected during the sample program

(10–10,000 ml).

English 19

Option Description

Collection period Specify the total collection period in hours and minutes (0:01–999:00).

Minimum sample volume If the flow volume is not sufficient to collect this minimum volume, the sample is

skipped (10–10,000 ml).

Do not use variable volume

1. Select or enter the values for the option.

Option Description

Take first sample Select whether the program starts immediately or after the first time interval has passed.

Flow based collection

Specify the flow source for flow based sampling:

• Counts—Refer to Use counts for the flow source on page 20.

• 4–20 mA input—Refer to Use 4–20 mA input for the flow source on page 20.

Use counts for the flow source

1. Select or enter the values for each option.

Option Description

Take sample every Collect samples at regular flow intervals, in counts (1–9999 counts).

Overrride time Collect a sample if the flow volume is very low.

Time The maximum time between samples (0:01–999:00). The timer starts again after each

sample is collected.

Take first sample The program starts immediately or after the first time interval.

Use 4–20 mA input for the flow source

1. Select or enter the values for each option.

Option Description

Select unit Selects the flow units to use.

Map 4 mA input Enter the flow rate that would agree with the 4 mA input.

Map 20 mA input Enter the flow rate that would agree with the 20 mA input.

Take sample every Enter the total flow after which the sample has to be drawn.

Override time Select enable to push a sample to be collected if the flow volume is unusually low.

Time The maximum time between samples (0:01–999:00). The timer starts again after each

sample is collected.

Sample volume Enter the volume to be collected per sample. If bottles/sample mode is selected, each

bottle receives a full sample volume (100–10,000 mL). This option is skipped if variable

volume is selected.

Restore the default settings

The restore option sets all of the program parameters to the default settings.
