Compressed Gas
|
Any material/mixture having an abs pressure exceeding 40 psia
|
Identifying compressed gas
|
Permanent markings stenciled or stamped on cylinder;
specification number, cylinder serial number, date of initial hydrostatic testing, inspectrs insignia
|
Compressed gas components
|
Cylinder cap, valve, valve packing nut, valve handwheel, pressure relief device, outlet connection, CGA number, cylinder collar
|
Pressure regulators
|
Reduce high pressure supplied gas to lower pressure
maintains flow level
|
CGA
|
Compressed gas association
|
Handling of compressed gas
|
Check for leaks
secure cylinders
regulators are gas specific
no lube
no smoking/flames
turn gas off before suppressing flames
|
Acetyline cylinders
|
Must be stored upright
|
Transporting gas cylinders
|
Use gas cylinder cart with straps
closed valve with cover cap
handle one at a time
no elevators
|
Empty gas cylinders
|
Never empty completely, empty to 25 psi
close valves, remove regulator, replace cap, lable as empty, return to storage, store with other empties
|
Electric current
|
Flow of electrons
|
Current measured in
|
Coulombs
|
Direct current
|
Flow of electrons in a loop (battery)
|
Alternating current
|
The electrons moving back and forth
|
Current frequency
|
Number of times the current reverses direction in 1 second
|
Conductor
|
Material that contains mobile charged particles, low resistance
|
