What should I do if I encounter a gas leak?

When you find a gas leak, first keep calm, don't panic, let others evacuate first, and don't turn off the valve immediately, because your clothes (especially in winter) may spark due to static electricity when running. It should be to hold your breath for a while, walk calmly and turn off the valve.

In case of gas explosion, it can be handled according to the situation. If gas leakage causes explosion of gas tank or natural gas pipeline, the valve should be closed immediately, and then fire extinguishing measures should be taken. If the storage tank explodes or the natural gas pipeline explodes, this situation is very dangerous. You should leave the scene immediately.

Don't turn on the fan or exhaust fan immediately, because there will be an electric spark at the moment of switching, which is very dangerous, because it will cause an explosion, so open the doors and windows and let them ventilate naturally; Don't switch on and off all kinds of electrical equipment, such as watching TV at home, don't turn off the TV at once, don't plug it in, it's even more dangerous if there is a refrigerator at home, and turn off the main switch immediately outdoors.

Distinguish natural gas leakage:

1, smell, the simplest way to identify is smell. In order to facilitate people to identify natural gas leakage, domestic natural gas is generally specially treated and has a strong pungent smell, which makes people feel dizzy and sick.

2. Check with soapy water. You can put some soapy water or wash it with water in places where air leakage is suspected (hoses, joints, pipes, plug valves, etc.). If there is air leakage, soapy water will bubble or swell.

3. Check the natural gas meter. This method is relatively straightforward. If the pointer of the natural gas meter is still moving when natural gas is not used, it means that there is air leakage. However, when the leakage of natural gas is less, the movement of natural gas meter is not obvious and it is easy to be ignored.

4. Install natural gas leakage alarm. There are gas leak alarms on the market now. Its working principle is that when the carbon monoxide in the air reaches a certain index, the alarm will automatically alarm and cut off the related natural gas facilities. Don't electrify and ignite at this time. You should open the window for air first, and then check the problem after the alarm is lifted.
