wire In the event of a fuel spill the C of F holder should: - โ โ Pour sand or other absorbing material on it. The area should then be cleaned. If a large spill or leak occurs - โ โ the Fire Department dispatcher must be notified immediately. What must be installed before any LP-gas cylinder is used to fuel any heater? - โ โ A regulator The regulator is threaded into the control valve at the top of the cylinder and has - โ โ left-handed threads. How are regulator fittings tightened? - โ โ Some Regulator connections may be tightened by hand only. other connections must be tightened with a wrench. What is the third kind of connection may be used to connect the regulator to the LPG control valve? - โ โ a quick release connection The regulator is connected to an approved designed hose that supplies the LP-gas appliance with - โ โ a working pressure of 350 psi Hoses and related equipment must be protected from - โ โ wear and physical damage. The Certificate of Fitness holder must regularly inspect the cylinders, connections, and heater for - โ โ leaks
cubic feet) The following are types of what? LPG, CNG, piped natural gas or solid fuel (coke). - โ โ Portable fueled salamanders/space heaters National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Recommended Exposure Limit (REL) for carbon monoxide - โ โ 35 parts per million (ppm) over an 8 hour period What is the third leading cause of fires in buildings under construction? - โ โ temporary heating What is direct heat flow through matter? - โ โ CONDUCTION What is the transport of heat within a gas or liquid caused by the actual flow of the material itself - โ โ CONVECTION the transmission of electromagnetic rays through space. - โ โ Radiation Heaters that release all of the heat generated by the flame (and the emissions that result) directly into the heated area - โ โ Direct- fired heaters What are the most common type of heater found at construction sites? - โ โ Direct-fired heaters The flame of this heater is enclosed in a heat exchanger that separates combustion products from the air to be heated. - โ โ Indirect-Fired Heaters
When may portable oil-fueled space heaters be stored, handled and used at construction sites - โ โ only during the heating season (October 15th - May 30th). A fail-safe system or other approved device, equipment or system designed to shut off flow caused by a rupture in a pressurized piping system. - โ โ EXCESS FLOW CONTROL A liquefied compressed gas which, under a charged pressure, is partially liquid at a temperature of 68ยฐF (20ยฐC) and which is a flammable gas. - โ โ FLAMMABLE LIQUEFIED GAS supervision by the holder of any department certificate who is responsible but need not be personally present on the premises at all times - โ โ GENERAL SUPERVISION A material having a melting point that is equal to or less than 68ยฐF (20ยฐC) and a boiling point that is greater than 68ยฐF (20ยฐC) at 14.7 psia ( kpa). - โ โ LIQUID The minimum concentration of vapor in air at which propagation of flame will occur in the presence of an ignition source. The LFL is sometimes referred to as LEL or lower explosive limit
- โ โ LOWER FLAMMABLE LIMIT (LFL) The transfer of flammable or combustible liquids
A solid fuel coke salamander shall be ignited with - โ โ an approved liquid petroleum gas (LPG) torch by S-92 Certificate of Fitness holder Solid fueled fired heaters are required to be kept - โ โ at least 10 feet from combustible materials Solid fueled fired heaters must be on what kind of platform? - โ โ non-combustible Records of what for solid fueled fired heaters should be available? - โ โ carbon monoxide readings LPG salamanders are prohibited in - โ โ any occupied building The use of LPG salamanders must be conducted under the supervision of - โ โ a person holding a FDNY Certificate of Fitness. Liquid petroleum gases include - โ โ propane, propylene, butane and butylenes. LP-gases are extremely flammable and highly explosive if ignited in - โ โ an enclosed area. LP-gases are heavier than - โ โ air and tend to hug the ground and spread outward. Greater amounts of LP-gases can be stored when it - โ โ is pressurized to its liquid state When LP gas changes into a vaporous state it - โ โ expands 269 times its original volume
LP gas' expansion rate causes a liquid leak to cause - โ โ a much greater fire than a vapor leak. how often must he Certificate of Fitness holder inspect the area where the LPG containers and heaters are located? - โ โ hourly The results of each hourly LPG heater/container inspection shall be recorded in - โ โ the log book which will be maintained on the premises and produced for inspection when requested by FDNY Propane gas may be present even though - โ โ no odor exists. The Certificate of Fitness holder shall inspect the area where the LPG containers and heaters are located at least on an - โ โ on an hourly basis.
