FLAME DETECTOR AND IGNITER SPEC FORMS

FLAME DETECTOR AND IGNITER SPEC FORMS

FLAME DETECTOR AND IGNITER SPEC FORMS

(OP)
I couldn't find any specification form about flame detectors and igniters in ISA_TR20. does any body has documents about this issue ??

RE: FLAME DETECTOR AND IGNITER SPEC FORMS

My copy of ISA-20-1981 does not include flame safeguard component spec sheets either.

API RP 556 (mine is dated 1997) has performance recommendations, but no specification form.

NFPA 85/86 cover US codes for boilers, furnaces, etc.

I'm wondering how useful a spec form would be.   Most vendors' sensor components do not interchange with each others', like a solenoid valve will interchange with an equivalent.  For instance, a mechanical shutter driven UV scanner for 24-7 operation from Honeywell can not be wired to a Fireye or Kromschroeder controller, all are incompatible with one another's brands.

Commercial, UL/FM listed flame safety controllers, flame switches, primary and  perform equivalent functions; I suppose a form could list the needed requirements, type of sensor, interlocks, post purge timer, etc.  

The closest I've come is this RFQ form from a house that upgrades boilers (attached).
