... The failure analysis of an internally fire-damaged liquid oxygen (LOX) gate valve is presented. The fire event did not breach the pressure containment of the valve or associated piping. The exact timing of the fire event was not clearly discernable. The valve represented the primary isolation...

... This paper presents a case study of the forensic analysis of a fire that originated in the annulus space between the inner and outer shells of a liquid oxygen bulk delivery tank that was permanently mounted inside a home health-care delivery van. The fire occurred while a dispensing facility...

... The Propulsion Research Center at the University of Alabama Huntsville has developed a liquid oxygen propellant feed system that has advanced into operational maturity. In support of safe system functional development, an oxygen compatibility and hazards assessment was completed in order...

... Vacuum superinsulation is commonly used in industrial applications for liquid oxygen transfer piping and liquid oxygen vessels as an alternative to other solid insulation materials such as perlite or Foamglass®, which have lower thermal performances. Tests have been conducted on insulation...

... included: (1) autoignition temperature (AIT), (2) heat of combustion, and (3) liquid-oxygen (LOX) mechanical impact sensitivity. Test methods and procedures employed for the evaluations were in compliance with those prescribed in the ASTM and BSI standards. Additionally, a BOC in-house high-pressure...

... oxygen (GOX) is required to feed the gas generators. In addition, a low pressure liquid oxygen (LOX) loading, storage, and supply system is required. The low pressure LOX system was designed for a maximum operating pressure of 722 KPa (90 psig) for the loading area and 1 135 KPa (150 psig...

... The standard liquid oxygen impact test method has been modified to include a sensitizing agent, silicon carbide, with the test specimen. The silicon carbide has been shown to increase the sensitivity of the material to impact, increase the frequency of reaction, increase the intensity...

... Mixtures of liquid oxygen (LOX) and liquid natural gas (LNG) are very attractive as commercial explosives because they exhibit very high brisance, or shattering power, and because the basic materials are readily available and inexpensive. However, the mixtures can be quite dangerous...
