WARNING:
The calcium carbide reagent used with this test must be handled with great care.
When exposed to water, calcium carbide produces highly flammable or explosive acetylene
gas. Testing must NOT be performed in confined spaces or in the vicinity of an open flame, lit
cigarettes, embers, or any other potential source of ignition.
WARNING: When releasing the gas from the apparatus, make sure to direct it away from your face
and body, and away from any other people.

Testing excessively wet material, adding water to the testing chamber, or improper
use of the equipment could cause pressures to exceed the safe level for the apparatus. This may
damage the device and create an unsafe condition for the user.
