Riguardo questo articolo

Neuware -In the field of compressed gases and related equipment, there is an expanding core of essential knowledge that people handling and using these materials should be familiar with or should know where to find. The focus ofthis book concerns the properties and the accepted means oftransportation, storage, and handlingofcompressed gases. This handbook is simultaneously intended as an overview ofthe subject and a source ofsupplementary information. It is also intended to serve as a guide to perti nent federal regulatory requirements and published standards of the Compressed Gas Association and other standards-developing organizations. The Association advises readers that the CGA technical publications remain the official statement ofpolicy on a particular matter. Reference is made throughout this text to the numerous technical publications published by the Compressed Gas Association. Some ofthese publications have been incorporated by reference into federal, state, provincial, and local regulations. Since the CGA publications are reviewed on a periodic basis, whenever the textofthis handbook conflicts with corresponding information in the CGA technical pamphlets, the most recently printed material shall take precedence.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 724 pp. Englisch.

Descrizione articolo

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.
