Safety - Gaseous oxygen

Safetygram 5 Gaseous helium Gaseous helium is inert, colorless, odorless, noncorrosive, and nonflammable. Helium is the lightest rare gas. Helium is a monatomic chemically inert gas. It will not react with other elements or compounds under ordinary conditions. Since helium…

Safetygram 3 Gaseous argon Gaseous argon is tasteless, colorless, odorless, noncorrosive, and nonflammable. Argon belongs to the family of rare inert gases. It is the most plentiful of the rare gases making up approximately 1% of the earth’s atmosphere. It…

Safetygram 2 Gaseous nitrogen Nitrogen makes up the major portion of the atmosphere (78.03% by volume, 75.5% by weight). Gaseous nitrogen is inert, colorless, odorless, tasteless, nontoxic, noncorrosive, and nonflammable. Nitrogen is inert and will not support combustion; however, it…

Safetygram 4 Gaseous hydrogen Hydrogen is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, highly flammable gas. It is also the lightest-weight gas. Since hydrogen is noncorrosive, special materials of construction are not normally required. Vessels and piping must be selected and designed to…
