1. Strengthen the inspection of gas hoses in summer


After entering the summer, the high temperature weather brings certain safety hazards to the urban natural gas system and the use of residents. We must pay attention to gas safety, and pay attention to checking the natural gas pipelines and hoses at home to avoid gas leakage accidents.


Due to the high temperature in summer, the pressure is higher than that in winter. The increase in temperature may lead to loosening of the gas hose interface. In addition, gas leakage may also occur in parts such as gas meter pipe joints, valve cooker switches, etc.


In general, families usually do not pay enough attention to the aging of the hose connecting the gas hose pipe of the cooker. Therefore, in order to use gas safely, in addition to daily inspections in the high temperature summer, users should also focus on the gas hose between the connecting pipe and the cooker. examine.

Citizens should report for repairs immediately when they find problems or accidents when using gas, so as not to delay the time and cause accidents, and use high-temperature gas to prevent gas leakage.


Due to the intensification of thermal expansion and contraction in high temperature weather, and the characteristics of collapsible soil, it is easy to cause deformation of natural gas process pipelines and equipment, and there may be safety hazards such as leakage of PVC gas hoses.


Natural gas safety concerns thousands of households. Timely discovery and elimination of natural gas safety hazards and correct knowledge of natural gas safety are a concrete manifestation of being responsible to oneself and the society.
