Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Amount of time left in cylinder = (cylinder pressure  cylinder factor)/flow rate of gas (li-ters/minute). G size cylinder factor = 2.41. Amount of time = (1450  2.41)/5 = 698.9 minutes/60 = 11 hours 39 minutes.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A hissing noise means that there is a leak somewhere in the system. Typically, that will occur between the yoke and the cylinder opening or if there is a crack in the flowmeter. Inadequate pressure or an obstruction would not cause a hissing sound.
