1 air

 

A mixture of gases that exist on the surface of the earth. The density of air close to the ground is 1.29kg/m3 under standard condition. The main components are oxygen, nitrogen and argon; In terms of volume content, oxygen accounts for about 20.95%, nitrogen accounts for about 78.09%, argon accounts for about 0.932%. In addition, it also contains trace hydrogen, neon, helium, krypton, xenon and other rare gases. According to different regional conditions, it also contains carbon dioxide, water vapor, acetylene and other hydrocarbons.    

 

2 processing air

 

It refers to the raw air used to separate gas and make liquid.

 

3 oxygen   

 

Molecular formula O2, molecular weight 31.9988 (according to 1979 international atomic weight), colorless, odorless gas. The density under standard condition is 1.429kg/m3, the melting point is 54.75k, and the boiling point is 90.17k at 101.325kpa. The chemical property is very active and it is a strong oxidant. It can't burn, it can support combustion.

 

4 process oxygen for industrial use  

 

The oxygen content of industrial process oxygen produced by air separation equipment is generally less than 98%( Volume ratio)

 

5 gaseous oxygen for industrial use  

 

The oxygen content of industrial gaseous oxygen produced by air separation equipment is more than or equal to 99.2%( Volume ratio)

 

6 high purity oxygen

 

The oxygen content produced by air separation equipment is more than or equal to 99.995% (volume ratio).

 

7 liquid oxygen (liquid oxygen)

 

Oxygen in liquid state is sky blue, transparent and easy to flow liquid. At 101.325kpa, the boiling point is 90.17k and the density is 1140kg / m3. It can be produced by low temperature air separation equipment or by gaseous oxygen liquefaction.

There are four kinds of commonly used thermometers in air separation plant: industrial internal standard glass thermometer, thermocouple thermometer, thermal resistance thermometer and pressure gauge thermometer. According to the principle of temperature measurement, the range of temperature measurement and whether it can be transmitted remotely, four kinds of thermometers are used in different temperature measuring occasions of air separation plant. Industrial internal standard glass thermometer is used in small air separation plant to measure the temperature of all levels of compressor gas and cooling water locally, and it is also used for temperature measurement during heating and thawing; thermocouple thermometer is used for purifier; thermal resistance thermometer is used for low temperature measurement inside cold insulation box; pressure gauge thermometer is used for measuring lubricating oil temperature.
