Safety - Gaseous hydrogen

Safetygram 16 Safe handling of cryogenic liquids A cryogenic liquid is defined as a liquid with a normal boiling point below –130°F (–90°C). The most commonly used industrial gases that are transported, handled, and stored in the liquid state at…

Safetygram 1 Gaseous oxygen Oxygen is the second largest component of the atmosphere, comprising 20.8% by volume. Gaseous oxygen is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and nonflammable. Oxygen is necessary to support life. It is a strong oxidizer that combines readily with…

Safetygram 19 Carbon monoxide Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, flammable, toxic gas. High-purity carbon monoxide that is dry and free of sulfur compounds is normally noncorrosive to metals at atmospheric pressure. Lower-purity grades containing moisture, sulfur compounds and other…

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…
