The Gas Industry Unsafe Situations Procedure[image]
Term
One of the following is not a gas safety device type. Which is it
Definition
Flame Expansion
Term
What documentation should be filled in by the installer after completing the installation?
Definition
Manufacturer?s log book/benchmark
Term
The maximum shut down time for a flame failure device on a hot plate is: -
Definition
[image]90 seconds
Term
The safety shut-off lid on the cooker should be left closed when carrying out a gas tightness test.
Definition
False[image]
Term
There are 4 main types of thermostat operation. Which of those below is not one of them
Definition
heat conduction
Term
The type of SAFETY device used to extinguish the hob burners in the event that a cooker lid is lowered is
known as
Definition
a Safety Shut Off Valve[image]
Term
Which flame supervision devices senses the presence of the flame not the presence of
heat:
Definition
Rectification
Term
Where an open flue gas fire is to be fitted in a bedroom the following conditions apply
Definition
The appliance is not rated over 12.7kW Net and has a vitiation sensing device fitted.
Term
What is the purpose of the bypass built into an oven thermostat
Definition
To maintain a low flame at the burner when the thermostat temp is reached.
Term
How would you check a gas control tap?
Definition
By operating and checking for smooth operation, high and low settings and flame picture
Term
What would be the effect should the flame fail when the oven thermostat says that the oven has
reached temperature ?
Definition
Gas would continue to enter the oven creating an immediately dangerous situation
Term
To assess the effectiveness of a thermo-electric FSD the operative should extinguish the flame:
Definition
Time And listen for the click of the valve and verify the valve has closed with a blip test
Term
An appliance fitted with a zero governor may require: -
Definition
The use of a flue gas analyser to commission the appliance
Term
What is a thermo-electric flame sensor
Definition
thermocouple
Term
This device will initially only permit a small amount of gas to flow to the burner. This helps prevent the
volume of gas in the oven building up to a dangerous level if the user is a little slow in getting it lit.
Once the flame is established on the burner, the phial is heated and the LIQUID inside EXPANDS. This in
turn expands a bellows (situated in the valve body), thus pushing open the gas valve to allow gas to
flow at the correct rate (High Flame)
Definition
Liquid Expansion Flame Supervision Device (FSD)
Term
How would you test an oven flame supervision device?
Definition
By lighting and observing the flame, which must initially be low then go to high flame
Term
Before a new gas appliance can be left connected to the gas supply, it should be: -
Definition
Fully commissioned
Term
What type of effects would suggest a faulty oven thermostat
Definition
The burner flame never reduces to simmer or goes out completely
Term
A Thermally sensitive vitiation sensing device incorporates within it what 2 sensing controls
Definition
ASD and Interrupted Thermocouple/Overheat Stat
Term
Name a common type of VSD (Vitiation Sensing Device) fitted on modern gas fires?
Definition
Oxypilot (ODS)
Term
Which flame supervision device is generally the slowest acting:
Definition
Bi-metallic
Term
Which is the most common type of flame supervision device fitted to a domestic cooker oven:
Definition
Liquid/Vapour pressure
Term
Which capillary type liquid expansion control allows the increase or decrease of gas flow
Definition
Oven Thermostat
Term
Which type of control has a capillary tube that goes from a sensor at the pilot/low flame of a boiler to
the bellows that operate a gas control
Definition
Liquid Expansion Flame Supervision Device
Term
Which type of liquid expansion control has a capillary tube that goes from the heat exchanger of a
boiler to the bellows where it operates a micro switch
Definition
Electric Thermostat
Term
What type of GAS CONTROL utilises a tapered brass plug to regulate the flow of gas to a burner:
Definition
A Gas Control Tap
Term
What name is given to a thermocouple, (an item which is made of dissimilar metals which produces a current when heated)    to operate a solenoid by creating an electro magnetic field
Definition
