Module 1: Properties and Characteristics of Natural Gas


                Module 1: Knowledge Check

            Which of the following statements is true about natural gas?
                □  Natural gas is lighter than air and has a lower ignition temperature and flammability range than other liquid
                   fuels.
                □  Natural gas is heavier than air and is colorless and odorless.
                □  Natural gas is lighter than air and has a higher ignition temperature and flammability range than other
                   liquid fuels.
                □  Natural gas is toxic.

            The main chemical component of natural gas is:
                 □  Methane
                □  Ethane
                □  Propane
                □  Butane

            The reason natural gas is compressed for transportation use is:
                 □  It is too explosive in its natural state.
                □  It has low energy density in its natural state.
                □  It costs less to compress natural gas than to leave it in its natural state.
                □  It is required by government regulation.


            The primary hazard for compressed natural gas is:
                 □  Pressure
                □  Fire
                □  Asphyxiation
                □  Liquefaction
