Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The diaphragm type of valve has two diaphragms, one made of steel and one made of copper. Aluminum and chrome-molybdenum are metals that are used in the construction of cylinders.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Fusible-plug pressure-relief valves operate on the principle that as the pressure in a tank increases, the temperature of the gas increases, causing the plug to melt. Spring-loaded devices are de-signed to release excessive cylinder pressure and reseal, preventing further release of gas from the cylinder after the cause of the excessive pressure is removed. The rupture-disk will buckle when the pressure inside the cylinder exceeds a certain predetermined limit. Direct-acting valves are not pressure-relief valves; instead, they are controlling devices that seal the contents of a com-pressed cylinder until it is ready for use.

Illness; diuretics; laxative abuse; hot weather; exercise; sweating; caffeine; alcoholic beverages; starvation diets; inadequate carbohydrate consumption; and diets high in protein, salt, or fiber can cause people to become dehydrated.

Essential fatty acids have been shown to be effective against ulcers, asthma, dental cavities, and skin disorders such as acne.

Did you know?

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

Did you know?

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).
