What may result if a pressure regulator is not used on the type of gas or pressure range for which it was designed?

A pressure regulator is a valve that automatically cuts off the flow of a liquid solid or gas at a certain pressure. So if it's not used on the item for which it was designed there could be an explosion or fire!

How does an acetylene regulator work?
The Acetylene Regulator on a pressure bottle is a simple spring and diaphram pressure regulator. What makes it special is 2 things: the material it is built of to prevent the gas from contacting anything it could react to and it is designed to operate only in the correct pressure range. It works by (it is a little more complicated but basicaly) haveing the spring and outlet pressure hold the inlet valve closed untill the pressure on the outlet side dropps below the set pressure. When it does the spring allows the valave to open. The spring tension is adjusted by a screw to increase or decrease the outlet pressure. The lower the outlet pressure gets the flow of the gas increases. The neat part is that the increase in flow will happen over a very small pressure drop. Usually less than 20% of the set pressure.
The term used to describe the fact that the refrigerant blend has a range of boiling or condensing points at a constant pressure?
Temperature glide
What is zeotropic?
two or more mixed together that will have a small range of boiling and/or condensing points for each system pressure
Why is water able to change to different states?
1) pretty much any material can change state - if the conditions are right. 2) On Earth, with our temperature range and air pressure, water can exist in all 3 states ... although its mainly ice and liquid. The vapor pressure is low.
What is the difference between azeotropic refrigerant and zeotropic refrigerant?
Azotropic will only have one boiling or condensing point for each system pressure negligible fractionation or temperature glide will occur Zeotropic will have a range of boiling and condensing points for each system pressure noticeable fractionationand glide will occur.

What is the difference of a fixed regulator from an adjustable regulator?
A fixed voltage regulator outputs only one specific voltage. An adjustable voltage regulator can be adjusted to output any voltage from the range it was designed for by changing the output resistors.
What is the fuel pressure for a 99 astro van?
The fuel pressure range for a 99 Astro van is between 40 and 45 psi. The fuel pressure regulator is located at the back of the motor.

What does the gas pressure regulator do on a kitchen range?
Just that, regulates the pressure. There is or should be more pressure in the gas supply line that a given appilance can or should use. This is so there is enough pressure to run everything that may be connected to the line. Stove, water heater, furnace, ect. All appliances have a regulator in them in case the one at the meter is defective or for some other reason the pressure in the supply line is too great.
What rock results from heat and pressure melting rocks into magma?
Metamorphic rock can result from exposure to heat and/or pressure, but it may take a specific range of temperatures or specific range of pressure to turn a rock into one. Heat and pressure alone does not necessarily create a metamorphic rock from another rock type.
Why does the ac compressor cut on and off on a 96 ford e350 75 engine?
It's a cycling clutch compressor, doing what it's designed to do. The AC system is set to operate within a specific pressure range. When it reaches the high side of that pressure range, the compressor clutch cuts out to relieve system pressure. When it reaches the low side of that pressure range, it cuts back on. What you're experiencing is perfectly normal.
What is the pressure range of the troposphere?
Troposphere pressure range is 15 to 17PSI
