Certification of Fitness for G-29
Acetylene Gas - -a colorless, odorless, flammable and slightly lighter than
air; however, the acetylene used in standard manufacturing application
and chemical synthesis is not 100% pure, it has a distinctive, garlic-like
odor. AKA ethine or ethyne. It is unlawful to generate, manufacture,
transport or sell liquefied acetylene in NYC.
- Air Exhaust - -Air being removed from any space or piece of
equipment and conveyed directly to the atmosphere by means of
openings or ducts.
- Auto- Ignition - -Ignition of a substance, such as oily rags and hay,
caused by a localized heat increasing reaction between the oxidant and
the fuel and not involving addition of heat from an outside source.
- Certificate of Fitness - -The storage, handling, in use of flammable
gases compressed to a pressure exceeding 6psi shall be supervised by the
G-29 certificate holder.
Handling and Use: the quantities requiring permits shall be personally
supervised by the G-29 certificate holder.
Storage: the storage of compressed gases in quantities requiring a permit
shall be under the general supervision of the certificate holder.
The certificate of fitness holder are responsible for insuring all fire
department regulations related to the safe using, handling and storage of
flamed compressed gases are obeyed on the premises. The G-29
certificate is valid for 3 years. C of F holders must maintain their
certificates of fitness cards throughout the entire term of their
employment.
G-61 certificate of fitness shall also be attained for individuals interested
in using torches for the manufacture of jewelry.
The storage, handling, compression and use of compressed flammable
gases with pressures of 6psi or less does not require a G-29 certificate of
fitness holder on the premises. It can be revoked if C of F holder fails to
fulfill their duties.
- Compressed Gas - -A material or mixture of material that is a gas at 68
degrees F or less at 14.7psia of pressure, has a boiling point of 68 degrees
F or less at 14.7psia and can be liquefied, non-liquefied or in solution at
that temperature and pressure, except that gases which have no other
, health or physical hazard properties are not considered to be compressed
until the pressure in the packaging exceeds 41psia at 68 degrees F.
- Compressed Gas Container - -A pressure container designed to hold
compressed gases at pressures greater than 1 atmosphere at 68 degrees
F.
BE CAREFUL!!
- Compressed Gas System - -An assembly of components, such as
containers, reactors, pumps, compressors, and connecting piping and
tubing, designed to contain, distribute or transport compressed gases.
- Duct System - -A continuous passage way for the transmission air that
in addition to ducts, includes duct fittings, dampers plenums, fans, and
accessory air handling equipment, and appliances.
- Engineer - -A person licensed and registered to practice the profession
of engineering under the education law of the State of New York.
- Flammable Gas - -A material which is a gas at 68 degrees F or less at
14.7psia of pressure which:
1. Is ignitable at 14.7psia when in a mixture of 13% or less by volume with
air. In accordance with testing precedures set forth in ASTME681 or
2. Has a flammable range at 14psia with air of at least 12% regardless of
the lower limit. In accordance with testing precedures set forth in
ASTME681.
- Flammable Liquefied Gas - -A liquefied compressed gas which, under a
charged pressure, is partially liquid at a temperature of 68 degrees F and
which is a flammable gas.
- Fuel Gases - -Fuel gases include: A natural gas, manufactured gas,
liquefied petroleum gas, hydrogen gas and mixtures of these gases.
- Gas Room - -A separately ventilated, fully enclosed room in which only
compressed gas and associated equipment and supplies are stored or
used.
- Hydrogen Gas - -a colorless, odorless, tasteless and non-toxic
flammable gas. It is the lightest gas known, and it exists in a gaseous
state at atmospheric temperatures and pressures. Once ignited, hydrogen
burns in air with an almost invisible pale blue flame. Hydrogen may be
used as a compressed gas or liquefied compressed gas to supply bulk
distribution systems.
