STP 1479, flammability and sensitivity of materials in oxygen-enriched atmospheres, 11th volume
ASTM International announces the publication of STP 1479, flammability and sensitivity of materials in oxygen- enriched atmospheres. This 11th Volume provides 32 peer-reviewed papers covering the following subjects:
- •
Ignition and combustion of nonmetals. Focuses on the results of an experimental study on the ignition of fire retarded polyurethane foam in oxygen concentrations from 30 to 60 per cent; pneumatic-impact ignition of sebum oil film in high-pressure oxygen; and more.
- •
Ignition and combustion of metals. Covers high temperature ignition of metals in oxygen; heated promoted combustion tests from the industry- sponsored 98-1 program; and the effect of sample geometry on flammability of carbon steel in oxygen.
- •
Oxygen compatibility of components and systems. Discusses a BAM study on the transfer of tests on materials to valves and fittings in real life situations; oxygen compatibility assessment on components and systems; mechanical impact of aluminum cylinders pressurized with oxygen; and more.
- •
Analysis of ignition and combustion. Provides a review on a relatively little investigated ignition mechanism (flow friction).
- •
Failure analysis and safety. Covers fires in the P-3 aircraft oxygen system; an investigation of oxygen- acetylene flashback reactions in welding hoses; and more.
- •
Aerospace applications. Proficiency testing for evaluating aerospace materials test anomalies; comparison of carbon dioxide and helium as fire extinguishing agents for spacecraft; proactive mitigation of PCTFE- related ignition hazards in oxygen systems; and hazards analyses of corresponding ground service equipment at the Kennedy Space Center.
