After entering the summer, the high temperature weather brings certain safety hazards to the urban natural gas system and the use of residents. We must pay attention to gas safety, and pay attention to checking the natural gas pipelines and hoses at home to avoid gas leakage accidents.
Due to the high temperature in summer, the pressure is higher than that in winter. The increase in temperature may lead to loosening of the gas hose interface. In addition, gas leakage may also occur in parts such as gas meter pipe joints, valve cooker switches, etc.
In general, families usually do not pay enough attention to the aging of the hose connecting the gas hose pipe of the cooker. Therefore, in order to use gas safely, in addition to daily inspections in the high temperature summer, users should also focus on the gas hose between the connecting pipe and the cooker. examine.
Experts suggest that a new gas hose must be replaced if the gas hose is aging or the gas hose has been used for more than two years. In order to ensure safety, it is best to ask professional gas maintenance personnel to replace the gas hose.
In addition, it is best for users to regularly check whether there is air leakage at both ends of the gas hose connected to the gas cooker. Once air leakage is found, immediately tighten the connection point with a hose clamp to ensure that the PVC gas hose is firmly connected without air leakage.
It should be noted that users tend to close windows to avoid heat in summer, so when using gas, they should pay attention to ventilation, and at the same time, someone should take care of them, so as to avoid the danger of the flame being blown out by the wind.
Citizens should report for repairs immediately when they find problems or accidents when using gas, so as not to delay the time and cause accidents, and use high-temperature gas to prevent gas leakage.
Due to the intensification of thermal expansion and contraction in high temperature weather, and the characteristics of collapsible soil, it is easy to cause deformation of natural gas process pipelines and equipment, and there may be safety hazards such as leakage of PVC gas hoses.
Natural gas safety concerns thousands of households. Timely discovery and elimination of natural gas safety hazards and correct knowledge of natural gas safety are a concrete manifestation of being responsible to oneself and the society.
For families using gas water heaters for bathing, be sure to check the gas pipes frequently; check whether the windows or exhaust fans of the rooms where the water heaters are installed are open before use to ensure good ventilation;
Many users are accustomed to manually closing the self-closing valve after each use of natural gas, which is wrong. Frequent opening and closing can easily cause the self-closing valve to fail and cause gas leakage.
When you finish cooking, first close the valve in front of the stove, and then close the valve on the stove. Do not hang sundries on the gas hose, wrap wires, or place coal stoves, liquefied gas, etc. in a house that uses natural gas Other stoves are unsafe practices.
In the event of leakage during the use of natural gas, first of all, stabilize your mood, do not panic, close the valve, open all doors and windows, and ensure air circulation;
The majority of users can also conduct regular gas hose self-examination, the method is: use soapy water or high-foaming washing powder to brush the valves, pipes, joints, etc., if there is bubbling, there is a leak point.
If there is air leakage, close the inlet valve in front of the metering gas meter, and ask the maintenance personnel of the natural gas company to repair it.
