Check plant for leaks by pressurising system to 100kpa, use pressure drop method and locate leaks with soapy water.
Physically check hoses and fittings for damage Check area for combustible materials e.g., petrol, oil, gas, grass, rags carpet insulation etc. Light with fuel gas only using lint lighter or pilot light (do not use gas disposable lighters). Provide appropriate Fire Fighting Equipment appropriate for the task Refer to manufacturer’s chart for correct settings. If plant has been shut down for more than half an hour purge two seconds for every 5 metres of hose. Ensure bottles are upright and secure Where applicable obtain a Hot Work Permit.
Flashback Explosion Burns Escaping Gas Fire
Recognition:
* Shrill hissing or squeaking * Smoke issuing from blowpipe tip
In case of Flashback:
* Close oxygen valve * Close fuel gas valve * Turn off cylinder valves FLASHBACK ARRESTERS MUST BE FITTED AT: * The regulators of oxygen and acetylene cylinders * The blowpipe when hose length exceeds 10 metres * Outlet of banked cylinders
Backfire Explosion Burns Escaping Gas Fire
Where persistent backfire occurs shut down and check for causes i.e., too close to work, dirty tip, loose nozzles, incorrect pressure, over heating tip.
Shut down Explosion Burns Escaping Gas Fire
