Questions & Answers 2025–2026
ABSOLUTE ZERO - Temperature at which all molecular motion, and consequently all life, ceases
according to Einstein and the kinetic molecular theory. Absolute zero has never been reached,
but it has been approached by the temperatures of some cryogenic gases
AREA ALARM SYSTEM - A warning system within an area of use that provides continuous visible
and audible surveillance of Level 1 and Level 2 medical gas systems.
ATMOSPHERIC TANK - A storage tank designed to operate at pressures from atmospheric
through 1.0 pound per square inch gauge measured at the top of the tank.
Atmospheric Tank - A tank designed to operate at atmospheric pressures to 1.0 psi
Both new and preexisting installations are subject to? - Operational and maintenance
requirements of the 2008 fire code
BULK NITROUS OXIDE SYSTEM - An assembly of equipment as described in the definition of bulk
oxygen system that has a storage capacity of more than 3200 lb. [approximately 28,000 ft3 (at
normal temperature and pressure)] of nitrous oxide.
BULK OXYGEN SYSTEM - An assembly of equipment such as oxygen storage containers, pressure
regulators, pressure relief devices, vaporizers, manifolds, and interconnecting piping that has a
storage capacity of more than 20,000 ft3 of oxygen (at normal temperature and pressure)
including unconnected reserves on hand at the site.
Carbon dioxide color? - Grey
, COMPRESSED GAS - A material, or mixture of materials that is a gas at 68F or less at 14.7 psia of
pressure; and has a boiling point of 68oF or less at 14.7 psia that is either liquefied, no liquefied
or in solution at that temperature and pressure, except that gases which have no other health-
or physical-hazard properties are not considered to be compressed until the pressure in the
packaging exceeds 41 psia at 68F.
COMPRESSED GAS CONTAINER - A pressure container designed to hold compressed gases at
pressures greater than one atmosphere at 68oF.
Compressed gas mixtures - A mixture of two or more compressed gases contained in a single
packaging, the hazard properties of which are represented by the properties of the mixture as a
whole.
COMPRESSED GAS SYSTEM - An assembly of components, such as containers, reactors, pumps,
compressors and connecting piping and tubing, designed to contain, distribute or transport
compressed gases.
Compressed gases in solution - Nonliquefied gases that are dissolved in a solvent.
CONTAINER - For solid and liquid hazardous materials, a vessel of 60 gallons or less in capacity
used for storage or transportation. For compressed gases, a cylinder, pressure vessel or tank
designed for pressures greater than one atmosphere at 68°F. Pipes, piping systems, engines and
engine fuel tanks associated with solid or liquid hazardous materials or compressed gases, shall
not be deemed to be containers if in active use.
CONTAINMENT SYSTEM - A gas-tight recovery system comprised of devices or equipment
which, when placed over or around the portion of the compressed gas container that is leaking,
stops or controls the escape of gas from the container.
CONTAINMENT VESSEL - A gas-tight vessel which, when installed or placed over or around a
leaking compressed gas container, confines the container and the gas leaking therefrom.
