What are the two ways to determine loss of a product?
Gauging Devices and Frost Line
What are the Capabilities of the Colormetric Tubes?
Detects specific gases and vapors
What tools and detection devices can be used to identify Irritants (riot control agents)?
1. Colormetric tubes
2. Ion-Mobility Spectrometry
3. Can not be detected with air monitoring devices
What are the Capabilities of Reagents?
A substance or solution combined with a material causing a chemical reaction.
What are the Limitations of Reagents?
For specific chemical and biological materials.
What are the Limitations of Photoionization detectors?
1. Must be calibrated
2. Does not detect methane
3. Reading may change if gases are mixed
4. Radio Freq, Power lines, Transformers, Dust, and High humidity interfer with readings.
If the IP of the sample is above the eV rating of the lamp, no reading.
How does a pipeline carry different products?
Different products may be transported in the same line using "pigs" to separate the products.
What are the Capabilities of a Combustible Gas Indicator?
1. Measures the concentration of a combustible gas or vapor in the atmosphere.
2. Used to determine the presence of flammable vapors of hydrocarbon products.
What are the Limitations of pH indicators/ or pH meters?
1. Does not provide specific concentration of corrosive material.
2. Must be calibrated before each use.
3. Probes must be thoroughly rinsed with distilled water before and after use.
4. Close proximity to material
5. Must have accurate color percepti
