STP 1319 features cutting edge information on oxygencompatibility, safe systems designs, and modeling metallic and nonmetallic ignition and combustion processes. In addition to a majorkey note address on the need for safety codes in oxygen systempiping, 34 comprehensive papers cover the following key areas:
Failure Analysis and Safety-- papers highlight theimportance of safety in oxygen systems, including two incidentinvestigations
Component Design and Development or Evaluation of TestMethods--Such issues as design methods to avoid hazards, andvariables that impact the accurate replication of test results areexplored in four papers.
Ignition and Combustion of Metals--12 papers focus onareas including modeling aspects of the ignition and combustionprocess for metals in oxygen, characteristics of various alloys inoxygen, and reduced gravity tests for nine different metallicmaterials.
Ignition and Combustion of Nonmetals--The compatibilityof various polymers/elastomers in oxygen environments, new railtransport carriage material flammability studies and the results ofa dynamic O-ring seal tester are among the concerns explored in 7papers.
A final miscellaneous section contains 5 papers ranging from theignitibility of composites in liquid and gaseous oxygen to thedevelopment of data management systems for metallic and nonmetallicmaterials’ compatibility in oxygen-enriched environments.
