Reseña del editor
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 when necessary. The focus of this book concerns the properties and the accepted means of trans portation, storage, and handling of compressed gases. This Handbook is simul taneously intended as an overview of the subject and a source of supplementary information. It is also intended to serve as a guide to pertinent federal regulatory requirements and published standards of the Compressed Gas Association and other standards-writing bodies. Readers are advised that the CGA technical pamphlets remain the official state ment of policy by the Association on a particular matter. Reference is made throughout this text to the numerous technical pamphlets published by the Com pressed Gas Association. Some of these publications have been incorporated by reference into federal, state, provincial, and local regulations. Since these pam phlets are reviewed on a periodic basis, wherever the text of this Handbook may be found in conflict with corresponding information in the CGA technical pam phlets, the latter shall take precedence.
Reseña del editor
This edition brings you up to date on gas technologies and equipment that have evolved since the Second Edition was published in 1981. It's both a comprehensive overview and a source reference for supplementary data on every aspect of handling gases in compressed, liquefied, and cryogenic form. Properties, safety considerations, equipment and regulations relevant to compressed gases are all addressed. The Third Edition keeps you on top of current standards from the various standards-writing bodies in the field, as well as the latest shipping requirements, storage and handling procedures, and uses. All gases or gas groups found in relatively large volume commercial utilization are covered, each one in a separate monography. These 44 monographs cover important areas such as gas properties...identificaiton...physical constants in both US and SI units...grades available...physiological effects...materials for construction of containers and equipment...handling procedures...disposal...and responding to emergencies such as leaking containers and exposures to personnel. Better organization, and explanations of the rationale behind standard practices and regulations, make the Third Edition even more useful than its predecessor. Among the features new to this edition are: expanded coverage of US department of Transportation and Transport Canada regulations, as well as OSHA, EPA and FDA requirements; discussion of new equipment and specialty gases used in semiconductor manufacture; 15 new monographs; increased emphasis on cryogenics; explanations of gas theory and its scientific foundations; sections on gas mixtures important in the industry today. Important safety guidelines for working with cylinders and bulk containers address pressure relief and valve connection systems, in addition to requirements for marking, labeling, inspection, testing, cleaning, and filling. Special precautions for highly reactive gases are also provided. Since this handbook is not product-specific, you'll find coverage of gases across the spectrum of the industry - not just those produced by one manufacturer. It's a ready source of useful information on natural gases, refrigerants, medical gases, atmospheric gases, and equipement and systems for oxygen service. All professionals whose work involves the manufacture, handling, or use of gas will find the Third Edition of Handbook of Compressed Gases extremely valuable. It serves the needs of engineers, technicians, researchers, maintenance personnel, health specialists, transportation directors, purchasing agents, hazardous materials officials and chemical handlers. This book should be of interest to compressed gas manufacturers, industries using compressed gases, medical users of gases (in anaesthetics, respiratory equipment, deep sea diving and space exploration).
