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.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs.
