Flashpoint

The factor that determines either a liquid is flammable or not is its flashpoint.

Question 39

what is asbestos ?

Answer 39

Asbestos

Asbestos is the generic term for a group of naturally occurring, fibrous minerals with high tensile strength, flexibility, and resistance to heat, chemicals, and electricity.In the construction industry, asbestos is found in installed products such as sprayed-on fireproofing, pipe insulation, floor tiles, cement pipe and sheet, roofing felts and shingles, ceiling tiles, fire-resistant drywall, drywall joint compounds, and acoustical products. Because very few asbestos-containing products are being installed today, most worker exposures occur during the removal of asbestos and during the renovation and maintenance of buildings and structures containing asbestos.

Exposure by inhaling loose asbestos fibers can cause disabling or fatal diseases such as gastrointestinal cancer, cancers of the lung or lung-cavity lining, and the severe lung impairment asbestosis. The symptoms of these diseases generally do not appear for 20 or more years after initial exposure.

Question 40

what is MDA—Methylenedianiline ?

Answer 40

MDA—Methylenedianiline

Introduction

MDA is a light-brown crystalline solid with a faint amino-like odor. It is slightly soluble in water and very soluble in alcohol and benzene. It is used mainly for making polyurethane foams, which have a variety of uses, such as insulating materials. It is also used for making coating materials, epoxy glues, Spandex® fiber, dyes, and rubber.

Routes of exposure to MDA include skin absorption, inhalation, and ingestion. Short-term (acute) overexposure to MDA produces symptoms such as fever, chills, loss of appetite, vomiting, and/or jaundice. Short-term contact with MDA may irritate the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes, and sensitization to MDA may also occur. Long-term (chronic) overexposure may cause cancer as well as damage to the liver, kidneys, blood, and spleen.

In the construction industry, MDA is primarily used to coat exterior surfaces, such as concrete structures, pipes, and floors. These surfaces, located inside or outside of buildings, are usually coated by spray application. The standard, however, covers both spray and roll-on applications.

Question 41

Question 42

how do arc flash energy originate ?

Answer 42

Origination of Arc Flash Energy

An arc flash, and its resulting release of energy, can only occur if an arc between two differences of potential occurs.

A difference of potential (voltage reading) exists between any two phase conductors, or any phase conductor and a grounded part (grounded systems only).
