A fusible plug at oil and gas wells is designed to melt when exposed to high temperatures, thereby releasing pressure and preventing potential explosions. This safety device acts as a safeguard by allowing pressure to be relieved through controlled means, protecting the well and surrounding equipment from damage or hazards. It serves as a crucial component in the overall safety systems implemented in oil and gas operations.

What safety device is used on an acetylene cylinder to reduce its danger in the event of exposure to extreme heat?

A fusible plug is used on an acetylene cylinder to release the gas in a controlled manner if exposed to extreme heat, preventing the cylinder from exploding. This plug is designed to melt at a specific temperature, allowing the gas to escape safely.


What does bump the cement plug mean in drilling oil and gas wells?

Essentially you're pumping down a mechanical plug that will rest on the lower plug in the float collar. Once the upper plug is seated on the lower plug, there is no longer a flow path for the fluid to go through, resulting in the pressure spike (the "bump").

How do you make sure gas is getting to cylinders gas sits in pep hole?

This is kinda "old school", but it works. Remove the plug from the cylinder in question, as well as the plug wire from the distributor cap or coil pack. YOU DO NOT WANT A SPARK GOING NEAR THAT CYLINDER. Then just turn the engine over and see if gas comes out the spark plug hole.

Why is your 88 Mazda rx7 not starting?

Check the fusible engine link for the engine. If the fusible link is blown (check by swapping with headlight motor fusible link- if headlight motor works, fuse is good). 1. Check gas. If old, drain it. Then add fresh gas to tank. 2. Check fuse to fuel pump. 3. May be bad coil. Take out each spark plug, one at a time... And hold with insulated pliers while assistant cranks car. See if there is ignition spark. Reinstall spark plug. Remove next plug and check next plug. If there is spark, reinstall plug and repeat process with remaining two plugs. If plugs dont spark, you may have bad computer boxes that are mounted to each distributor. 4. Check also spark plug wires for cracks. 5. Took out refeence to distributor cap, and 88 has dis and only has a crank angle sensor... 6. Check and make sure your spark wires are connected in the proper sequence to the appropriate spark plugs. 7. Consider the turn over speed of the starter. That could be an issue. 8. If your rx7 has sat up for a while, remove air filter cleaner and pour about 8 table spoons of automatic transmission fluid in the carb to allow apex seals to soak for about an hour.
