General Inquiries (cont.) 24 Solutions Q&A QUESTIONS 9.3 Non compressed air applications ? 9.3.1 Will units work with other gases? In general IMI Norgren units will work on other gases but there are limitations. Having evaluated the application thoroughly and made the user aware of the limitations of the unit it may be acceptable to use a standard product. In other cases, where safety or material compatibility problems exist IMI Norgren may choose to decline to offer any product. ? 9.3.2 What are the problems associated with other gases? In assessing an application the following should be considered. • Is there a safety risk? Is the fluid potentially dangerous or explosive? If so we may decline to quote. • Is there a material compatibility problem? (eg oxygen can cause ignitions with some greases - hydrogen sulphide can cause stress fractures in metals)? • Is the fluid likely to leak into an enclosed environment (e.g. a cellar)? This could cause oxygen depletion in the environment potentially resulting in suffocation. • Refer to the warning in the catalog sheets. IMI Norgren units are design and tested for use with compressed air unless otherwise specified. ? 9.3.3 Can units be offered for use with other gases? If asked to offer an air preparation product for use with a gas other than compressed air please adopt the following approach. • Assess the application fully. • For inert gases such as argon, nitrogen, carbon dioxide users should be made fully aware of the implications outlined above (keep a record in writing that this has been done). • Products for use with oxygen should only be offered with the approval of IMI Norgren. • Never use products in applications with combustible or flammable fluids (gaseous or liquid). 9.4 Support documentation ? 9.4.1 What are Certificates of Conformity? Certificates of conformity are IMI Norgren documents which state that the product supplied conforms to the specifications laid down. Certificates of conformity do not declare that units are suitable for a specific application. Certificates can be provided to confirm the accuracy of the catalog data. 9.5 Customizing product ? 9.5.1 Are different colored units possible? IMI Norgren can produce products in a variety of colors. Additional costs and lead times will depend on quantities required and the color. To support such special colors, typically private label customers, IMI Norgren can also offer special labels and packaging. ? 9.5.2 Can we do special labels? Products can be produced with no IMI Norgren Identification (no name), or with the customer's own logo on the labels. Similarly, packaging can be branded if required
