Good afternoon everyone.
Whilst getting ready for my 14001/18001 audit next week, I noticed an anomaly.
We use nitrogen in a process to dry out chemicals prior to testing. I was auditing the area and realised the pressure gauge is marked "Oxygen O2" but being used to measure the incoming pressure to the room of nitrogen. (8 Bar)
The bank of cylinders outside is reduced from 200 Bar to 8 Bar, then piped through the building. It's a clinical cleanroom with oxygen monitors.
Is using an oxygen gauge to measure the pressure of nitrogen an acceptable practice?
Google seems to be hiding these answers from me today.....
Many thanks
Paul
