The gas flow into the high-pressure side regulator is dependent on what two opposing forces?
 
  1. Gas pressure above the diaphragm
  2. Gas pressure at the diaphragm
  3. Spring tension below the diaphragm
  4. Spring tension above the diaphragm
  a. 1 and 3 c. 2 and 4
  b. 2 and 3 d. 1 and 4

Question 2

Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
When the force offered by the high-pressure gas above the diaphragm equals the force offered by spring tension, the diaphragm is straight and the inlet valve is closed.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Gas from a compressed cylinder (e.g., 2200 psig) enters the first stage of a two-stage regulator, and the gas pressure is reduced to an intermediate pressure (e.g., 700 psig). This lower pressure gas then enters into the second stage of the regulator, where the gas pressure is further reduced to the desired working pressure (e.g., 50 psig) before the gas reaches the outlet.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).

Prostaglandins were first isolated from human semen in Sweden in the 1930s. They were so named because the researcher thought that they came from the prostate gland. In fact, prostaglandins exist and are synthesized in almost every cell of the body.
