CELTIC gas detection

by Lindsey Owen

Hi everyone, As you may be aware, following the recent fire alarm we discovered the HF sensors, though still working when the engineer tested and calibrated them last Thursday, are coming to the end of their life. As we can not have complete confidence in them, all HF work must stop until the sensors are replaced in the new year. The CELTIC clean labs will still be open for non-HF chemistry. I will let you know when we expect the sensors to be replaced once I have more info from the contractor/Estates. In the interim, the faulty HF sensors are likely to trigger the local gas alarm. Please treat any alarm as a real alarm and immediately vacate the labs. Please ensure everyone working within the CELTIC facility leaves the lab and the 'do not enter' sign is posted on the outer door. Please then contact Edward or myself to check the gas detection system, reset it, and let you know it is safe to re-enter. Thank you for your understanding.

Sash on hood 2 clean lab

by Edward Inglis

Hi all, Just to let you know the ratchet that locks the sash on hood 2 in the clean lab is broken. I have done a temporary repair while the new part arrives but for the moment please don’t try and adjust the sash high - it must remain in its current position. Cheers, Edward — Dr. Edward Inglis School of Earth & Environmental Sciences Cardiff University

All clear to use lab

by Edward Inglis

Hi all, We have checked the lab and it appears to be a fault with one of the gas alarm sensors. We have reset the system and you are all okay to use the lab as normal. Cheers, Edward — Dr. Edward Inglis School of Earth & Environmental Sciences Cardiff University

Gas alarm in CELTIC

by Edward Inglis

Hi all, Earlier this evening a one of the gas alarms in the lab activated and tripped the building fire alarm. Lindsey and I need to check the cause of this and reset the AHU tomorrow morning before people can enter the lab. Please do not enter the lab until you get the all clear email from me or Lindsey.

January roof shutdown

by Edward Inglis

Hi all, One thing I forgot to mention at the lab meeting is that estates have requested a second roof shutdown for week commencing 6th January 2025. This would mean all extraction would be down (chemistry rooms and mass specs) for the week effectively meaning a total lab shutdown. Please can people reply to me ASAP if they see this being an issue. I need to let estates know quickly if they can go ahead with this. Note this is in addition to the roof shutdown happening 9th, 10th and 11th December. Cheers, Edward — Dr. Edward Inglis Office 2.26A School of Earth and Environmental Sciences Cardiff University Main Building, Park Place Cardiff CF10 3AT Office: +44 (0)29 2087 79469 Lab: +44 (0)29 2087 74326 Email: inglise(a)cardiff.ac.uk [page1image2912240.png]
