Comparison between eyewash room and stainless steel emergency shower eyewash
Eyewash rooms and stainless steel emergency shower eyewash are both equipment for providing emergency flushing when toxic and hazardous substances (such as chemical liquids, etc.) splash onto the body, face, and eyes of workers, but they have some obvious differences in design and function. The following is a comparison between them:
1. Eyewash room (emergency shower and eyewash room)
Structure and function:
The main body is made of stainless steel 304 material, which is resistant to corrosion by chemicals such as acids, alkalis, salts and oils.
Equipped with a spray system and an eyewash system, it can be directly installed on the ground at the work site.
Suitable for use in areas where the weather temperature is above 0°C.
The spray water flow rate is greater than 75.7 L/MIN, the eyewash water flow rate is greater than 1.5 L/MIN, and the eyewash/facewash water flow rate is greater than 11.4 L/MIN.
If the flushing time exceeds 15 minutes, the water source pressure requirement is 0.2-0.4 MPa.
Installation and operation:
It should be installed no more than 15 meters away from the source of danger and within a range that can be reached within 10 seconds of walking. It
must be installed at the same height as the source of danger and must not be installed across the floor.
It is easy to operate and equipped with luminous signs and safety signs for quick and easy finding and use.
2. Stainless steel emergency shower and eyewash
Types and functions:
divided into vertical, wall-mounted, compound and other types.
Compound eyewash has dual functions of spraying and eyewashing, and can be used for washing the whole body, eyes, face and other parts.
Vertical and wall-mounted eyewashes are mainly used for washing eyes, face and other parts.
Portable eyewash is suitable for places without fixed water sources or where the working environment needs to change frequently.
Performance characteristics:
Made of stainless steel 304 material, it has strong corrosion resistance.
Equipped with high-performance anti-corrosion treatment, it can extend the service life in specific environments.
Suitable for various working environments, including laboratories, factories, etc.
3. Comparison summary
Functionality: The eyewash room provides full-body and eye flushing functions, while the stainless steel emergency shower eyewash provides flushing functions for different parts depending on the type.
Installation and use: Both need to be installed in a location that is easy to reach quickly, but the eyewash room has more stringent requirements on the installation location.
Material and durability: Both are made of stainless steel 304 material, which has strong corrosion resistance, but the eyewash room may require higher maintenance requirements due to its more complex structure and function.
In general, the eyewash room and the stainless steel emergency shower eyewash have their own characteristics in emergency flushing functions. The choice of which equipment should be determined according to the specific working environment, sources of danger and the actual needs of employees. At the same time, in order to ensure that the equipment can play a role at critical moments, the equipment should also be maintained and inspected regularly.
