oh of course i forgot that some old gits don't have a sense of humour, so you laugh when i said about it & then post the above which confirms what i said, it is the first time i'd seen one & just for your info i did do a full aprentiship & that was 27 years ago & no before you ask it wasn't with BG, of course things have moved on from when you were taught using a bird in a cage

Your insults only confirm to me your inexperience and ageist attitudes?
NO ONE IS EVER TO OLD TO LEARN, its only the arrogant that cant understand that others older may know a bit more!

You obviously if you served an apprenticeship 27 years ago didnt do a GAS apprenticeship which is why you will never have the knowledge that i have!

ANYONE who has a fear of any part of his expected experience should be a worry to people!

The difference between me and you is I have the knowledge of many things and I have always passed my knowledge on to others under my charge, be it apprentices or operatives I have managed and which was respected and MOST of those persons knew who to call if they needed information, those that didnt and were arrogant enough to know better had to have their mistakes taken care of by someone who would listen to experience, unlike you who I would probably have sacked!

You can mock all you like but i have heard it, and seen it all before, so you can play OSTRICH but remember they leave vulnerable parts exposed!

Do you really think that a proffesional would use, or do something that is dangerous :eek: or equipment that is not registered as safe and fit for purpose :T

its the scare mongering and fear factor that I find amusing from a competant RGI?

Not that its not something I havent experienced before, until they fully understand, or have experience?

When they have experienced the principals of ignition and explosive conditions in a controled environment with a fully qualified tutor and an appropriate test bed that demonstrates the facts, or undergo a full gas apprenticeship which deals with the technicalities, in detail, do they understand GAS ENGINEERING and COMBUSTION fully!

Thats where a 5 year apprenticeship rather than a week training for a certificate have their advantages!

Jeez what would some people do if they even saw a 5Mw boiler, OH i know, seen it, RUN :rotfl:

ummm 3 posts above from you, i didn't say anything until you started on me, i have thanked you in a couple of posts in the last couple of days because you made some good posts, however i see that couldn't last long as i see you are back with your normal nasty comments, however it doesn't work with me because as i've told you before i don't give a dam what you think of me or my posts, so you just carry on if you want it doesn't bother me in the slightest old man

Some detectors use flame ionisation to detect gas.
They've been in use in one form or another since the '70s and are intrinsically safe.
They are designed primarily (as Mr Ted rightly pointed out) to establish whether the gas is present and measures in ppm and would emit a varying tone depending on the gas concentration.
They are NOT suitable for indoor use.

Most Transco (insert whatever they're called today) Engineers use a gascoseeker which uses sensors to detect the gas and no flame.

'tis the work of the devil I tell ya! :beer:

:rotfl:takes an OLD devil to know dont it Gareth

Sorry but they arnt intrinsically safe :P

And they can be used indoors now provided you have checked with a goasco first

They changed em72 to allow this

I have 1

sorry for butting in.

ps you shouldnt smell gas insode when the boiler fires

southcoastrgi

don't be sorry aj i'm glad you did :T

Purely as a matter of interest why did you change the 2 to a 5? Is this a competition? OK then my turn. How about 2 boilers both at max chat generating 550 psi superheated steam at around 800 degrees sufficient to power a pair of turbines producing the equivalent of 22MW and also have spare capacity to each run a 400kW genset at the same time.

Thread's substantially derailed. An additional small push didn't hurt much.

Cheers.
