flue analysis ..is it servicing?

[CHILOR]

Hi all I have been installing boilers and now I'm out servicing different type of boilers. Please a co..co2 reading of 0.0004 to 0.0008 is seen as standard.
What about 0.0001 and above 0.0008.?
I got the Anton table guide ...does it mean that a boiler flue reading of 0.00013 or up 0.00015 is good?
Secondly 0.0013 is a much higher number ? These numbers are doing me some headaches please could someone throw some knowledge on this for me to know when a boiler need to be opened.
Thanks

Good evening. May I enquire, what training have you had for your work? Did you have to pass any tests and exams? What type of boilers are you installing and servicing?

Secondly 0.0013 is a much higher number ? These numbers are doing me some headaches please could someone throw some knowledge on this for me to know when a boiler need to be opened.

Yes, 0.0013 is ten times as large as 0.00013.

The numbers on their own mean nothing.
The manufacturers instructions should be read and understood.
These will tell you when to strip an appliance for servicing.

Thanks chuk
Yes I did exams and passed. Like I said before when you install is quite different from going around servicing different kind of boilers with different settings. I got a temporary analyser in place of mine (Kane 456 sent for calibration ) when I use it it gave me some readings...I wrote about. I guess coming into this group is to get clarity on what you are confused about?
I see a lot of ideal logic and old baxi solo 3 and few greestars recently...

Thank you heliotrope
Sometimes these boilers don't have mi books available except when you downloads. I do understand your point which I must take seriously. Thanks once again.

You can't service a boiler properly without the manufacturer instructions....unless you've serviced loads and know all the readings. just doing a fga isn't servicing an appliance but is just a safteys check. As for numbers...I find it hard to understand how you have passed the relative tests but don't understand ratios??? 0.004 and above would be a strip down of a combi boiler...although I would strip the boiler down and change seals etc every two years anyway.

Servicing them or just sticking the flue gas analyser in doing **** ? 0.004 is the figure, but I would be stripping it long before then . Kop

Spooky Sam just typing as you were mate beat me to it .

Download the Anton app, it's free and as well as having rad calculators, gas rates and pipe sizing, it also has pdf files for about 95% of boilers so if you come across a customer who doesn't have the boiler book, you have atleast got the instructions of how to service it properly.

More importantly if you’d like the forums guidance on FGA use please message @ShaunCorbs, @Riley or @Harvest Fields with your gas safe details and we will get you access to the gas safe engineer section where issues can be discussed out of the public view
