My neighbor just found out the hard way. They neglected to call the utility hotline before they dug, and found what they thought was a 2 inch dead gas line. So they decided to get their sawzall and cut the pipe away. It turned out to be a 6 inch high pressure live main gas line. By the grace of God, there was not an explosion, when the cut into this line, but you could hear the gas escaping a block away. I was up there when the gas company went in to check the house for gas, and he came running out and said the whole house was filled with gas. Needless to say I took off. but what i found out later, is that not only will he be fined, he will also have to pay for the repairs, the man hours for the gas company, and Fire department equipment and personnel. i am told it could be close to $100,000.00. All for not calling a simple number to have under ground lines located for free.

Why unclog gas line with nitrogen and not compressed air?
Nitrogen is preferred for unclogging gas lines because it is an inert gas that poses less risk of combustion compared to compressed air, which contains oxygen and can create a fire hazard in a gas line. Nitrogen is also less likely to react with the substances in the gas line, ensuring a more effective and safe unclogging process.
Is the temperature of a gas a measure of how hard its molecules hit the walls of its container?
Yes, the temperature of a gas is a measure of the average kinetic energy of its molecules. This kinetic energy is related to the speed at which the gas molecules move, which in turn affects how hard they hit the walls of the container.
