Gas & FuelPregunta 68 de 110
A hospital adds a nitrogen line for surgical tools alongside oxygen and medical air. What single feature most prevents a fatal mix-up of these medical/industrial gases at the outlet?
a.Color-coded tape
b.Larger pipe
c.Higher pressure
d.Gas-specific (non-interchangeable) outlet and connector indexing, plus labeling
Explicación
Medical gas station outlets use gas-specific, non-interchangeable indexing so a nitrogen connector cannot fit an oxygen outlet, backed by permanent labeling and color coding. The physical keying, not the label alone, is the primary defense against a lethal wrong-gas connection. A crossover test at commissioning confirms each outlet delivers only its intended gas.

- A newly installed natural-gas piping system is pressure tested before being placed in service. A common test is 3 psi (or 1.5 times working pressure, whichever is greater) held for a set duration. For low-pressure residential piping, what is a typical minimum test pressure and duration?
- During a gas pressure test, appliances and their regulators must be protected. What is the correct way to include or exclude appliances during a 10 psi test?
- A propane branch must deliver a 75,000 BTU/hr appliance at a longest length of 40 ft. Propane is 2,500 BTU/ft^3. The 40 ft table lists 1/2 in = 45 cfh and 3/4 in = 95 cfh. What is the required cfh and minimum pipe size?
