1What Happened

近 24,000 磅甲硫醇经两阀泄漏(与管道堵塞排查相关);通风不良厂房内毒气积聚,4 死

2Root Cause

有缺陷的工程设计+缺乏充分防护;管道堵塞排查作业风险识别不足;应急响应混乱

About the Failure-Mode Code (click to expand)

The mechanism code FTC shown on this card is the KB's internal damage-mechanism abbreviation (not an ISO 14224 code); it describes how the equipment failed. The 'ISO 14224 Mapping' block above maps it to the correct ISO functional failure code (which describes what the equipment failed to do) — these are two distinct dimensions in ISO 14224. The mechanism follows the narrative in the card body.
