Term
WHAT DOES PSIG STAND FOR?
Definition
PER SQUARE INCH GAUGE
Term
WHAT DOES PSIA STAND FOR?
Definition
PER SQUARE INCH ATMOSPHERIC
Term
1 ATM = HOW MANY PSI, CMH20, MMHG, MBAR, AND KPA?
Definition
14.7PSI, 1030 CMH20, 760 MMHG, 1000 MBAR, 100 KPA
Term
THE UNITED STATS PHARMACOPOEIA SPECIFIES WHAT ABOUT MEDICAL GASES?
Definition
THE PURITY OF MEDICAL GASES. THIS IS ENFOREC BY THE FDA
Term
WHAT IS IMPORTANT ABOUT THE SPINDLE VALVE?
Definition
IT IS WHERE FILLING OCCURS
Term
WHICH WAY OPENS AND CLOSES MEDICAL GAS CYLINDERS?
Definition
COUNTERCLOCKWISE OPENS AND CLOCKWISE CLOSES.
Term
WHAT DOES THE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE DO THAT IS ON THE GAS CYLINDERS?
Definition
VENT CYLINDER CONTENTS IN EVENT IF PRESSURE INSIDE THE CYLINDER INCREASES TO DANGEROUS LEVELS
Term
WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE CONICAL DEPRESSION?
Definition
IT IS WHERE THE RETAINING SCREW FITS IN.
Term
WHICH ONE IS TOP. THE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE OR THE CONICAL DEPRESSION?
Definition
CONICAL DEPRESSION
Term
WHICH ONE IS TOP. PORT OF PISS SYSTEM?
Definition
PORT
Term

Definition
1,5
Term

2,5
Term
WHAT NUMBERS IS THE PISS SYSTEM FOR NITROUX OXIDE?
Definition
3,5
Term
WHAT NUMBERS IS THE PISS SYSTEM FOR N?

Term
HOW MANY LITERS AND PSI ARE IN AN AIR TANK?
Definition
625 LITERS WITH 1900 PSI
Term
HOW MANY LITERS AND PSI ARE IN AN OXYGEN TANK?
Definition
660 LITERS AND 1900 PSI
Term
HOW MANY LITERS AND PSI ARE IN A NITROUX OXIDE TANK?
Definition
1590 LITERS AND 745 PSI. AN E CYLINDER OF NITROUS OXIDE CONTAINS APPROX. 250P WHEN THE PRESSURE BEGINS TO DECREASE BELOW 745PSIG
Term
HOW MANY LITERS AND PSI ARE IN A HELIUM TANK?
Definition
500 LITERS, 1600PSI
Term
WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT NITROUS OXIDE IN THE CYLINDER?
Definition
IT IS A LIQUID. THEREFORE, CAN'T DO CALCULATION FOR NITROUS CYLINDER (IT WILL PRODUCE SAME AMOUNT OF PRESSURE NO MATTER HOW MUCH VOLUME IS LEFT; CHANGE TANK AS SOON AS YOU SEE PRESSURE MOVE). NITROUS IS STORED AS A LIQUID WHEREAS O2 IS STORED AS A GAS.
Term
FOR NITOUS OXIDE SINCE IT IS STORED AS A LIQUID PRESSURE WIL REMAIN AT 745PSI UNTIL WHEN?
Definition
UNTIL THE LIQUID IS GONE. CYLINDER SHOULD BE CHANGED IF THE PRESSURE IS LESS THAN 745PSI
Term
DESCRIBE NITROUS OXIDE IN RELATION TO FLAMMABILITY AND COMBUTSION.
Definition
INFLAMMABLE BUT DOES SUPPORT COMBUSTION
Term
WHEN DOES FROST FORM ON A NITROUS OXIDE TANK?
Definition
FROST MAY FORM ON THE WALL OF THE TANK DURING RAPID REMOVAL FROM A CYLINDER (GREATER THAN 4L/MIN); D/T THE LOSS OF LATENT HEAT OF VAPORIZATION FROM THE LIQUID NITROUS OXIDE.
Term
CALCULATION FOR HOW MUCH GAS IS LEFT IN A TANK IS NOT APPLICABLE TO WHAT 2 GASES?
Definition
NITROUS OXIDE AND CO2 BECUASE THEY ARE COMPRESSED GASES STORED AS LIQUID
Term
IF OXYGEN SUPPLY IS LIMITED USE OF MECHANICAL VENTILATOR CONSUMES APPROX. HOW MUCH OF DRIVING GAS EACH MINUTE? THUS SHOULD BE AVOIDED IN SITUATIONS IN WHICH OXYGEN SUPPLY IS LIMITED TO CYLINDERS.
Definition
A MINUTE VOLUME
