Dear All,
I didn't find right forum to post this question hence posting here.
1. Question 1: Requirement of safety shower and eye wash normally decided based on chemical handles at particular location. Can DCP (Dry chemical powder) be considered as a chemical to decide requirement of safety shower and eye wash? AS per MSDS of DCP its irritating to eyes.
2. As per IS 10592-1982, required water flow is 15-18 m3/h (250-300 lit/min) and minimum pressure is 2 kg/cm2 for remote location. Here pressure is given in absolute unit. So should we consider ~1 kg/cm2 (g) is the minimum required pressure. Please help to confirm as per your experience,
3. Is minimum flow shall be maintained? Any code reference?
