	Bleve effect
		A BLEVE does not have to involve a flammable gas, but since the combination of liquid and vapors accounts for 99 plus percent of all deaths by flammable gas, I will address just those.
		BLEVE is an acronym for Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion.
		Basically, as long as there is a liquid behind the steel that is being heated, the liquid acts as a heat sink and draws enough heat away to both prevent the metal from melting and the pressure from increasing very quickly.

	Liquid Hydrogen
		Withdrawal of liquid from a tanker, tank, or liquid cylinder requires the use of a closed system, with proper safety relief devices, which can be evacuated and/or purged to eliminate the possibility of creating a flammable atmosphere or explosive mixture of liquid air and liquid hydrogen.
		Liquid transfer lines must be vacuum insulated to minimize product loss through vaporization or the formation of liquid air on the lines with subsequent oxygen enrichment.
		Gaseous and liquid hydrogen systems must be purged of air, oxygen, or other oxidizers prior to admitting hydrogen to the systems, and purged of hydrogen before opening the system to the atmosphere.

	HFD: All You Ever Wanted to Know About Fire Extinguishers . . .
		Class B Extinguishers should be used on fires involving flammable liquids, such as grease, gasoline, oil, etc. The numerical rating for this class of fire extinguisher states the approximate number of square feet of a flammable liquid fire that a non-expert person can expect to extinguish.
		Additionally, Class A and Class B fire extinguishers have a numerical rating which is based on tests conducted by Underwriter’s Laboratories that are designed to determine the extinguishing potential for each size and type of extinguisher.
		Newer fire extinguishers use a picture/labeling system to designate which types of fires they are to be used on.
