- Stainless Steel Eye Washer (often referred to as an Eyewash Station) is a critical piece of safety equipment designed to provide immediate flushing of the eyes and/or face with copious amounts of water in the event of exposure to hazardous materials. Stainless steel is a preferred material due to its durability, corrosion resistance, and hygienic properties, especially in environments where chemicals are present.
- Applications:
- Stainless steel eyewash stations are essential in any workplace where there's a risk of eye exposure to:
- Corrosive chemicals (acids, alkalis, solvents)
- Irritants (dust, fumes, particulate matter)
- Biological hazards
- Foreign bodies
- Heat (thermal burns)
- This includes:
- Chemical Manufacturing Plants
- Laboratories (research, academic, industrial)
- Petrochemical and Oil & Gas Industry
- Pharmaceutical Companies
- Food Processing Facilities
- Battery Charging Areas
- Mining Operations
- Construction Sites (especially those dealing with concrete admixtures, chemicals)
- Important Parameters:
- Name: Stainless Steel Eye Washer
- Nominal pressure: 1.0Mpa
- Working pressure: 0.2—0.4Mpa
- Eyewash flow: >11.4L/min
- Inlet size: NPT1/2, the height of the water inlet changes with the installation height of the product
- Drain size: NPT1-1/4, the height of the drain varies with the installation height of the product
- Applicable conditions: Normal temperature water or water that meets sanitary standards
- Common Features across Stainless Steel Eyewashers:
- Material: Primarily 304 Stainless Steel for good corrosion resistance, or 316 Stainless Steel for superior resistance in highly corrosive or saline environments (e.g., offshore oil rigs, specialized chemical plants).
- Spray Heads: Typically two aerated spray heads that deliver a soft, controlled flow of water to effectively rinse the eyes and face without causing further injury. Often include dust covers to keep them clean.
- Valve: Stay-open ball valve mechanism ensures that once activated, the water flow continues without requiring the operator to hold the handle.
- Water Flow: Must deliver a minimum flow rate (e.g., 1.5 liters per minute for 15 minutes) as per ANSI Z358.1 standards.
- Visibility: Often comes with highly visible emergency signs.
- Compliance: Designed to meet international safety standards such as ANSI Z358.1-2014/2018 and OSHA requirements.
