Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book centers on an unexpected and devastating gas explosion in 1972 that destroyed two homes and damaged a third in Annandale, Virginia. At the request of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the author, an engineer from the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) was tasked with determining how the natural gas entered the homes and the paths the gas followed from the leak to the homes. The author explains how a team of experts, including himself, developed and conducted a comprehensive field test at the accident site to trace the path of the gas using a harmless air tracer mixture. The team used sophisticated testing equipment and methods to detect the tracer inside homes and in other locations where natural gas was known to have escaped. The test results provided crucial insights and revealed that the gas traveled through rock rubble used as backfill in utility trenches containing the water and sewer lines to the destroyed/damaged homes and entered the homes through cracks and other openings in the concrete block foundations. This book is significant because it presents a detailed account of a real-world investigation into a major accident and highlights the importance of understanding the behavior of natural gas under various conditions to prevent similar tragedies in the future. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780428075132_0
