Non-flammable gas

Gases expand uniformly to fill the volume of the container that holds them. The relationship between the pressure (P), volume (V), and temperature (T) of a gas is expressed in the Boyle-Charles law  [Pg.104]

Air describes the atmospheric gases. By volume, its composition approximates as follows  [Pg.105]

The presence of significant concentrations of oxygen, a nonflammable gas that actively supports combustion, can introduce an oxidizing hazard into compressed or refrigerated air products. [Pg.105]

Rare gases are those elements in Group VIIIA of the periodic table helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. They are not necessarily rare, however, and are also called the inert or noble gases. Due to their electron configurations, helium, neon, and argon are extremely nonreactive, while others undergo some reactions. [Pg.106]

Conceptually, the minimum requirements for a fiilly operational gas container is a valve to permit filling and release or dispersion and some connection or manifold between the store of gas under pressure and the valve. These are common in the reusable metal cylinders, tank cars, and portable tanks used to transport bulk and nonbulk gas. Gases also come supplied in many devices and articles, including [Pg.106]


Detonation Velocity-Pressure Over Explosive Relationship. In Dunkle s Syllabus (Ref 4), the effects of temp pressure on the initiation of expln and on its progress are discussed. For example, when hydrocarbon mixts are subjected to high temps pressures, non-flammable gas mixts become expl, mild reactions become violent, and stable gas mixts become spontaneously reactive High temp pressure may facilitate initiation of detonation in a material which ordinarily decomposes quietly ... [Pg.673]

The term iodane refers to hydrogen iodide (HI), a colorless non-flammable gas. According to IUPAC rules, compounds with nonstandard bonding number are shown by the lambda notation thus, H3I is called A3-iodane and H5I A5-iodane. The most common ArIL2 (L heteroatom ligands) with decet structure is named aryl-A3-iodane and ArIL4 with dodecet structure aryl-A5-iodane. [Pg.6]

Truck transportation rates for anhydrous ammonia are relatively high because of liability insurance rates and the need to use specialized equipment. Distribution is further complicated by attempts to restrict the movement of ammonia in some jurisdictions. In 1990, the U.S. Department of Transportation classified anhydrous ammonia as a non-flammable gas and required shipments to be marked with the words inhalation hazard. International shipments are required to carry the inhalation hazard and poison gas markings57. [Pg.209]

Carbon Dioxide (CO ) extinguishers are used for Class B and C fires. CO2 extinguishers contain carbon dioxide, a non-flammable gas, and are highly pressurized. The pressure is so great that it is not uncommon for bits of dry ice to shoot out the nozzle. They don t work very well on Class A fires because they may not... [Pg.195]

EMPTY placard. The specifications for the FLAMMABLE-EMPTY placard is representative of the requirements for the following EMPTY placards NON-FLAMMABLE GAS POISON GAS CHLORINE OXYGEN FLAMMABLE GAS FLAMMABLE FLAMMABLE SOLID FLAMMABLE SOLID W OXIDIZER ORGANIC PEROXIDE POISON and CORROSIVE. The specification for each EMPTY placard must be the same as those prescribed for each placard except for the top triangle in the placard. [Pg.76]

A language barrier should not stand in the way of hazard communication. In some ways, a precedent has already been set vis-a-vis the four-digit placard. This placard, without the use of words, communicates the symbol, color and class number. The four-digit UN number simply identifies the specific commodity. Is the white flame on a red background with Class Number 3 any less a Flammable Liquid label than with the use of those words Or, is the green label with the white cylinder and Class Number 2 any less a Non-Flammable Gas There will be those who will object to the additional training necessary in a world without words. It is suggested that such a step will not be as difficult as it may appear, and further, it will promote safety and economic benefits in both international and domestic trade. [Pg.85]

If a compressed gas does not meet the criteria of flammability, it is obviously a non-flammable gas. Other definitions involved are ... [Pg.96]

For a package containing Chlorine, the word CHLORINE may be used in the place of the word POISON on the POISON label, provided the letter size and color for CHLORINE are the same as those required for POISON. Additionally, a CHLORINE label may be used in place of the NON-FLAMMABLE GAS and POISON labels otherwise required for Chlorine. [Pg.365]

R-134a is a non-flammable gas at room temperature and pressure with a normal boiling point of around 26°C. It is normally handled as a compressed gas under pressure in liquid form and has a liquid density of about 1300 kg/m With an extraction equipment design pressure requirement of only 20 bar or so, standard stainless steel fabrication techniques can be used with a significant cost saving, when implemented at industrial scale, over the more specialist techniques and materials required for operation at pressures greater than the 100 bar or so required for scC02. [Pg.44]

Naphthoquinone (198 mg, 1,25 mmol) was added and the mixture was poured into an autoclave containing a glass liner. The reactor was then pressured to 60 bar partial pressure of air and 10 bar partial pressure of CO in order to form a non-flammable gas mixture and the reaction was carried out for 1 hour at 70°C. At the end of the reaction, the hydrogen peroxide concentration was evaluated by titration with potassium permanganate. [Pg.328]

In this paper. Lifecycle Physical Hazards of Extruded Polystyrene was extracted based on the Polymer Foam incident information, where the ignition sources were mainly Spark from Welding and Spark from Static Electricity. Regarding Burned Material, 8.5% were based on Flammable Gas. It seems to be released fix>m Polymer Foam, because Non-Flammable Gas is not used anymore, nowadays. [Pg.1172]

Chlorine is a non-flammable gas. At low concentrations the gas is a respiratory irritant. At high concentrations and/or long exposures it causes irreversible damage to lung tissue. Chlorine gas is so intensely irritating that concentrations of 10-15 mg/m in air are readily detectable by the normal person. The maximum allowable exposure limits of chlorine gas are ... [Pg.65]
