... Military equipment must be designed to operate in various exposure conditions; therefore, the test programs evaluating them must ensure that the corrosion resistance of base materials and assemblies will be sufficient. These conditions include rain, humidity, bowing/settling sand, debris, salt...

However, given the limited existence of published...

... Performing analyses of the fire hazards in oxygen systems is critical to avoiding fires. Over the years, several systematic approaches to analyzing fire hazards in oxygen systems have been proposed and analysis methodologies for oxygen systems have become more refined. Specific evaluation...
