Riassunto:

Bringing the reader up to date on gas technologies and equipment that have evolved since 1990, this text is both a comprehensive overview and a source reference for supplementary data on every aspect of handling gases in compressed, liquefied, and cryogenic forms. Properties, safety considerations, equipment, and regulations relevant to compressed gases are all addressed. This edition gives information relating to late-1990s standards from the various standards developing organizations in the field, as well as the latest shipping requirements, storage and handling procedures and uses. This book combines gas-specific information on 66 compressed gases, including physical constants, handling, storage and transportation, and safety requirements as well as comprehensive information on valves and pressure relief devices, cylinder maintenance, bulk containers and transportation, and oxygen cleaning. It includes: the latest changes in DOT regulations (HM-206, HM-215A, HM-215B); exposure limits set by ACGIH and OSHA which have been reviewed and updated; and new developments in safety equipment, along with the latest training requirements to mitigate a compressed gas incident. Since this handbook is not product-specific, it contains coverage of gases across the spectrum of the industry - not just those produced by one manufacturer. It is a source of information on natural gases, refrigerants, medical gases, atmospheric gases, and equipment and systems for oxygen service.
