2. Leak-down tester - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leak-down_tester

   A leak-down tester is a measuring instrument used to determine the condition of internal combustion engines by introducing compressed air into the cylinder and measuring the rate at which it leaks out. Compression testing is a crude form of leak-down testing which also includes effects due to compression ratio, valve timing, cranking speed, and ...

3. Gas cylinder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_cylinder

   Industrial compressed gas cylinders used for oxy-fuel welding and cutting of steel. A gas cylinder is a pressure vessel for storage and containment of gases at above atmospheric pressure. High- pressure gas cylinders are also called bottles. Inside the cylinder the stored contents may be in a state of compressed gas, vapor over liquid ...

4. American Standard Safety System - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Standard_Safety...

   The American Standard Safety System, or ASSS, is a connection system for gas cylinders with a volume exceeding 25 cubic feet. The connections differ in thread type and size, right and left-handed threading, internal and external threading, and nipple-seat design. This variability reduces the risk of errors such as administering the wrong gas to ...

   Oxy-acetylene Welding (OAW) station. Oxy-fuel welding (commonly called oxyacetylene welding, oxy welding, or gas welding in the United States) and oxy-fuel cutting are processes that use fuel gases (or liquid fuels such as gasoline or petrol, diesel, biodiesel, kerosene, etc) and oxygen to weld or cut metals. French engineers Edmond Fouché and ...

6. Diving cylinder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_cylinder

   A diving cylinder or diving gas cylinder is a gas cylinder used to store and transport high pressure gas used in diving operations. This may be breathing gas used with a scuba set, in which case the cylinder may also be referred to as a scuba cylinder, scuba tank or diving tank. When used for an emergency gas supply for surface supplied diving ...

7. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

   Two-gauge pressure regulator connected to gas cylinder used for breathing gas supply. Pressure regulators are used with diving cylinders for Scuba diving. The tank may contain pressures in excess of 3,000 pounds per square inch (210 bar), which could cause a fatal barotrauma injury to a person breathing it directly. A demand controlled ...
