In what order should the gases be shut off?

  • A.Fuel first, then the oxidant
  • B.Oxidant first, then the fuel
  • C.Both simultaneously with one valve
  • D.Whichever is more convenient at the time

Answer: A

Turning off the fuel first leaves the flame to go out for want of something to burn, while cutting the oxidant first can leave a fuel-rich mixture that flashes back. Simultaneous shutdown is not reliably achievable, and the order is not a matter of convenience. A sequence dictated by safety rather than by analytical performance is one to follow exactly, and modern instruments enforce it automatically. Reading the definition literally, rather than recalling a formula, is the reliable route through questions of this shape.
