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

Which regulator supports the theory that gas pressure is gradually reduced as gas flows from a high-pressure source through a series of stages to the outlet?
 
  a. Single-stage regu-lator c. Preset regulator
  b. Flowmeter d. Multistage regulator

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.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
