The Petrogen® Liquid Fuel Cutting System is a solid, proven technology that brings you unequally safety, performance, and cost savings. Petrogen makes cuts that are impossible with any other torch, incredibly fast and clean with less airborne contaminants. Petrogen cuts up to 14 inches of steel. The powerful flame easily cuts through layers and across air gaps, through rust, paint, even concrete-backed steel without popping. Petrogen fuel is regular liquid gasoline, kept liquid from the tank to the tip. The Petrogen System is much safer than compressed gas systems such as acetylene or propane. Fuel line backflash is impossible! Many built-in safety features provide the safest cutting torch made. [Text followed by an illustration. ] 2, record 1, English, - Petrogen%C2%AE%20torch

The Gas Analyzer System for Metabolic Analysis Physiology(GASMAP) device is used to monitor and analyze inhaled and exhaled breath streams to determine their gas concentrations. The primary gases of interest are nitrogen(N²), oxygen(O²), carbon dioxide(CO²), argon(Ar), acetylene(C²H²), sulfur hexafluoride(SF6), helium(He), and carbon monoxide(C18 O). The GASMAP flight hardware consists of two components : an analyzer module and a calibration module, both of which are housed in drawers inside Spacelab. The analyzer module contains all the sensor and electronic hardware of the GASMAP. 3, record 2, English, - gas%20analyzer%20system%20for%20metabolic%20analysis%20physiology
