Remove cartridge and weigh (replace if weight is 0.25 oz less than stamped on cartridge). Inspect threads on cartridge and in actuator for nicks, burrs, cross-threading, rough or feathered edges. Check pressure safety vent in actuator body for obstruction. Examine actuator cartridge gasket for elasticity.
Fire is a common concern for underground workers. A fire occurred during p roduction on N ovember 25, 1998, at Cyprus Plateau Mining Corp.s Willow Creek under ground coal mine near Price, UT. All underground miners evacuated with no serious injuries. The mine was sealed and inert gas injected into the fire area. The mine returned to normal operations about a year later.
1. Design a mine to minimize spontaneous combustion, 2. Prevent frictional ignitions and use only permissible equipment in the working face, 3. Degas the coal seam, premining, and postmining to minimize methane ignitions, 4. Make coal
Underground mining is used for small, high-grade deposits covered with a thick soil or rock above the ore. surface mining is commonly used to extract coal and copper. Underground mining is used for zinc, lead, and increasingly coal. Alluvial mining is used for precious metals like gold and diamond.
Underground fires usually begin when a coal seam juts up through the grounds surface. The coal can be ignited in three ways by human accident, by lightning, or by spontaneous combustionthe process by which the explosive gases contained in coal combine with oxygen and heat up to the point where they burst into flame.
Dec 23, 2016 The speed of travel of a mine fire is dependent on the conditions in the immediate vicinity of the fire. With dry timber and a strong ventilating current, a fire will make rapid progress while in coal, the progress is extremely slow, except where there is communication with an overlying vein through caves and broken ground.

5. While fire and explosion risk assessments have to be carried out both below ground and on the surface, this guidance relates primarily to fire and explosion risks below ground. However, the general principles should be applied to those buildings and equipment on the surface of a mine where a fire or explosion could prejudice safety below ground.
