It can be: - a non-return valve, which prevents the passage of the gas in the d
29、irection opposite to normal flow; or - a flame arrestor which quenches a flame front (flashback). The two functions can be associated in a single device. 3.9 carrying construction A stnicture which allows containers, welding equipment and accessories to be Camed and that secures the gas containers i

35、vice shall be designed to fit the container specified by the manufacturer. It shall not be possible to interchange the fuel gas and oxygen containers. The devices for cartridges for fuel gas shall comply with the relevant requirements of EN 521. 4.6 Shut-off device It shall be possible to shut off t
36、he gas supply quickly at each gas container without disconnecting the gas container. The device can be a separate part (tap) or integral with another part (regulator, for example). If the shut-off device is not an integral part of the container it shall be clearly marked with the gas it controls. if
37、 the device operates by turning, the closing direction shall be clockwise and marked in a durable and visible fashion. If the device has a fixed OF“ position it shall also be marked. It shall not be possible to unintentionally remove the part of the device which opens and closes the gas flow. The bo
