... to a liquid oxygen spill. The materials tested were cotton muslin, floor tile with adhesive, leather, butyl rubber, industrial carpet, cork, and asphalt. The first test determined if each material was ignitable by mechanical impact in air. The second test determined the baseline energy required to ignite each...

... the same group), many rank the fluids in approximately the same order and therefore do not provide any additional information. The introduction of two new spray ignition tests which enable all the different fluids to be compared under similar conditions is a major step forward. These tests, however...

... fluxes. Results indicate that the heat flux had a major effect on the ignitability of epoxy/fiberglass and brominated epoxy/fiberglass while the oxygen concentration had a minor effect. The ignitability of epoxy/fiberglass was similar to that of brominated epoxy/fiberglass except the critical heat flux...

... The oxygen compatibility of metals and alloys is highly important because they constitute the major part of most oxygen systems. The recent development of semi-standard tests for metal specimens has greatly increased our understanding of the ignitability and combustibility of commonly used...

... The relative ignitability and flammability of pure lead (Pb), pure tin (Sn), and a series of binary Pb-Sn alloys in liquid and gaseous oxygen was studied. Resistance to ignition by mechanical impact in liquid oxygen was studied using the Standard Test Method for Compatibility of Materials...

... are generated when they are dispersed and ignited. The accompanying gas-dynamic phenomena are also considered in some detail in terms of rates of pressure rise, speed of flame propagation, confinement, turbulence, and propagation dynamics. The explosion probabilities in any given plant or facility can...

... The purpose of this research project was to conduct a single-laboratory evaluation of three methods to determine and characterize the potential hazard posed by flammable materials disposed in landfills. The test procedures—(1) radiant heat ignition, (2) linear flame propagation and (3...
