Abstract: Columbia Gas Distribution Companies Gas Safety Demonstration is a portable live gas module thai is designed as an educational tool to demonstrate combustion characteristics of natural gas and propane. Demonstrations range from a gas filled soap bubble ignited in mid-air to an actual gas explosion in a confined space. Audiences learn the combustion characteristics of gases including BTU values, specific gravity, ignition temperatures, and flammability limits. The need for proper combustion air is covered, and visual evidence of flame changes are pointed out. Thermocouples and their role as safety controls in gasburning appliances are explained, and a series of slides shows where and how to turn off gas during emergencies. A natural gas fire quickly extinguished by the quarter turn of a valve teaches a valuable safety lesson.
