Antistatic precautions applied to the breathing circuit seem to have been the crucial factor in achi...
متن کاملAssessment of Explosion Hazards of Unstable Substances
Means are required to assess hazards by small-scale experiments. Those commonly used are based upon the science of conventional explosives with important modifications. Several types of explosion may occur: a detonation, propagating supersonically; a deflagration, propagating subsonically; so-called homogeneous explosion in which reaction occurs almost simultaneously throughout the mass. The ev...
متن کاملFire and Explosion Hazards with Thermal Fluid Systems
Incidents relating to thermal fluid systems are unfortunately more common than we might realise, and can be extremely serious. The fire and explosion hazards with thermal fluid systems have been re-emphasised by recent incidents. These incidents have a direct bearing on the estimated 4,000 UK companies that operate thermal fluid systems. Water or steam can be used as heat transfer fluids, but w...
متن کاملA Review of the Fire and Explosion Hazards of Particulates
Particulate fires and explosions cause substantial loss of life and property. With the goal of understanding, preventing, or at least mitigating particulate fire and explosion hazards, we review basics. We distinguish between ‘hazard’ and ‘risk’ and discuss the fire and explosion hazards of particulates, the many factors determining such hazards, hazard indexes, and ways to reduce fire and expl...
