The Importance of Hydrostatic Testing Parameters for Eye Wash Shower

1. Concept of water pressure parameters of eyewash
Nowadays, an eyewash shower is no longer an unfamiliar item. Its existence has greatly reduced potential safety hazards, especially for those working in dangerous places. However, the use of eyewash must attract our attention.

In the process of using the eyewash shower, water pressure is very important. The normal water pressure range is 0.2-0.6MPA, and the water flow is in the form of a columnar foam so that the eyes will not be hurt. If the pressure is too low, it cannot be used normally. If the pressure is too high, it will cause secondary damage to the eyes. At this time, attention should be paid to controlling the water flow pressure. The valve should be opened a little smaller, and the flushing time should be at least 15 minutes.

2. Water pressure abnormal treatment

A. Excessive water pressure
After installation and debugging, there is no need to open the push plate to the bottom during use, and the water can be discharged normally at an angle of 45-60 degrees.

B. Low water pressure
After installation and debugging, open the hand push plate to the maximum extent to check the water flow, and check whether the pressure and the water inlet pipe are unobstructed.

C. Foreign body blockage
After installation and debugging, this state is abnormal. It is necessary to check whether the eyewash nozzle and pipeline are blocked by foreign matter. After removing the foreign matter as soon as possible, the eyewash can be debugged so that it can be used normally.

Since the eyewashes are emergency rescue safety protection products, if it is in a standby state for a long time, please start it once a week, open the spray part and the eyewash part, and observe whether the water is in a normal state. On the one hand, it avoids the blockage of the pipeline in the event of an emergency, and on the other hand, it reduces the deposition of impurities in the pipeline and the growth of microorganisms. Otherwise, the use of polluted water sources will aggravate the damage or infection to the eyes.
