Clinical personnel must become familiar with the properties and inherent hazards of the compressed gases used in patient care areas. Compressed gas cylinders contain varying pressures of inert, toxic, ...

Compressed air is so commonly used in commercial, industrial, and institutional settings that it is often incorrectly assumed to be less potentially dangerous than it actually is. In fact, there are ...

Portable air compressors are a common power source on construction sites. Whether they in constant or intermittent duty, they are mission critical to getting the job done, so it pays to know how to ...

Maximizing compressor throughput, bounded by equipment and pipeline protection parameters, involves establishing an automated unloading-loading sequence that directs the compressor through a linear ...

This guideline identifies general safety precautions that should be reviewed and followed when dealing with compressed-gas cylinders at Brandeis. The MSDS for specific gases should be reviewed to ...

Why is compressed air safety a concern? Are there regulations that govern the use of compressed air? How can engineers effectively limit pressure and noise? How do engineered air nozzles work?

This is the first of three articles that describe BP’s experience with reciprocating compressor damage from liquids intrusion at two facilities, in Oklahoma and Alaska. Due to the different damage ...

Research personnel must become familiar with the properties and inherent hazards of the compressed gases used in the laboratory. Compressed gas cylinders contain varying pressures of inert, toxic, ...
