It can, and sometimes is.
liquefied petroleum gas and liquid propone gas LPG stands for "Liquified Petroleum Gas" or "Liquid Propane Gas". The term is commonly used when describing the gas tanks of vehicles which run on such fuel.
Nitrogen is heavier than air, and is an inert gas - it will not burn or explode.In fact nitrogen is used to prevent fires in certain circumstances. Depending on the size of the leak, care must be taken not to inhale as the nitrogen will replace the oxygen thus causing suffocation. Ventilate before entering a building where gas leaks are suspected
How did the water get in there?If you're concerned about water naturally occurring in the gas delivered to your home, this is why a "dirt pocket" is required at the point where the gas line enters your furnace or water heater. The water falls into this pocket. If for some reason the gas supply in your area is known to be "wetter" than usual, you could have a gas fitter check every dirt pocket and, if necessary, empty it.The HVAC Veteran
i have a raburn gas cooker can i convert it from town gas to lpg
All boilers are made to a pressure specification and in most countries any pressure vessel over a certain size is required to be periodically inspected and pressure tested to ensure it is fit for purpose. In addition to being in sound condition, the boiler is also expected to have some form of pressure relief valve. This is of sufficient size to vent off excess pressure before it gets to an explosive situation. It is obviously important that the pressure of this device is set to a lower level than the ultimate pressure specification of the boiler. Even quite small boilers, like those in coffee makers need to be inspected. Some boilers are 'gas fired' such as home heating boilers. These have a device called a thermocouple that detects the flame and is linked to the gas valve. If the flame goes out, or the burner does not ignite when gas is released in the boiler, it will shut the gas off. Typically gas fired boilers have a number of devices that will shut off the gas in the event that something doesn't work. This means that if the gas supply pipe is in sound condition, the boiler itself cannot leak gas and cause an explosion.
Inert gas is used in tanker ships to prevent explosions caused by the presence of flammable gases in the cargo tanks. By displacing the oxygen in the tanks with inert gas, the risk of ignition is greatly reduced. This practice also helps to maintain the quality of cargo, such as preventing oxidation of sensitive chemicals or products.
No. Neon gas is an inert gas and is not required by the body.
Inert argon gas is a colorless, odorless, and non-reactive gas that is part of the noble gas group. It is often used in various applications where an inert atmosphere is required, such as in welding, incandescent lighting, and semiconductor manufacturing. Argon is chemically stable and does not easily form compounds with other elements.
There is no gas tank on a cruise ship. There are fuel tanks, which hold the bunker fuel and they are usually located in the bilge of the ship. (Compartments below the waterline)
The gas is going to depend on what style of welding you are doing. For TIG (tungsten inert gas) it is 100% argon. For heliarc, which is a form of TIG, it is 100% helium. For MIG (metal inert gas) it is 75% argon/ 25% carbon dioxide. Finally, for gas welding, it acetylene and oxygen--separate tanks. (my son helped on this one)
No, inert gases should not be stored with oxidizing gases. Inert gases like nitrogen or argon are used to displace oxygen in storage containers to prevent combustion or oxidation reactions. Storing them with oxidizing gases could lead to potential fire or explosion hazards.
Carbon monoxide is not an inert gas.
Helium (He) is a noble (inert) gas placed in the group 18 of the Periodic Table.Helium falls in inert gas. It is stable and non-reactive.
Yes, helium is an inert gas.
a inert gas is one that doesnt respond
No, also the so called inert gases can be obtained in liquid form. Inert had a chemical sense, especially in the past.
No. Polonium is a solid at room temperature and is not chemically inert.
