Another CO topic

I recently checked the co output of a torch,the flame was free standing in a basement, result 0 ppm.

I was working in my garage last night

solderign up some manifolds for a job.

I was thinking about some of the many posts on CO and different applications, and with a torch in my hand I wondered what to CO level was where I was working. My garage door was open so it was probably miniscule.

The bigger question is how many of you were soldering today in a small unventilated space for a significant period of time? What do you think the CO level was there?
What do you think the total cumulative effect of this CO is during your career as a heating professional?

It also makes me think of some of Ron Jr's work since he is the King of Small Spaces.

Just thinking out loud I guess, but as professionals we are concerned about the HO's health, but long term, what about our own?

I use this

when I'm onsite on every inspection. Very accurate and small. Also relatively durable. I think the cost is about $450.00. What's your health worth?

Solding produces a lot less CO than welding. I have been in welding shops a CO levels easily get over 100ppm. Testo has a small pocket CO tester for $199.00 or you can carry a Low Level CO Monitor for less than $90.00

Sure they are...

Just test them by pressing down on their head - if they give a quick "chirp", they're good to go!

calibration issue

Mark I think you need to check on the use of parakeets versus canaries. They are calibrated at different rates!The worst are pigeons--they take forever! I think pigeons must have been the benchmark for UL 2034...

Ya'll have a safe, happy 4th!

You do cut their nails off so they don't continue to stay perched after expiring?
