Hot Surface Ignition Temperature of Dust Layers with and Without Combustible Additives
HOT SURFACE IGNITION TEMPERATURE OF DUST LAYERS WITH AND WITHOUT COMBUSTIBLE ADDITIVES by Haejun Park A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Fire Protection Engineering May 2006 APPROVED: Professor Robert G. Zalosh, Advisor Joseph A. Senecal, Kiddie-Fenwal, Inc., Co-advisor Professor Kathy A. Notarianni, Head of Department Abstract An accumulated combustible dust layer on some hot process equipment such as dryers or hot bearings can be ignited and result in fires when the hot surface temperature is sufficiently high. The ASTM E 2021 test procedure is often used to determine the Hot Surface Minimum Ignition Temperature for a half inch deep layer of a particular dust material. This test procedure was used in this thesis to study possible effects of combustible liquid (such as lubricating oil) and powder additives in the dust layer as well as air flow effects. The following combustible dusts were used: paper dust from a printing press, Arabic gum powder, Pittsburgh seam coal, and brass powder. To develop an improved understanding of the heat transfer, and oxygen mass transfer phenomena occurring in the dust layer, additional instrumentation such as a second thermocouple in the dust layer, an oxygen analyzer and gas sampling line, and an air velocity probe were used in at least some tests. Hot Surface Minimum Ignition temperatures were 220oC for Pittsburgh seam coal, 360oC for paper dust, 270℃ for Arabic gum powder, and > 400oC for brass powder. The addition of 5-10 weight percent stearic acid powder resulted in significantly lower ignition temperature of brass powder. -

Bukowski Hazard Analysis Developing Fire Scenarios and Design Fire Scenarios vailable methods to estimate the potential impact of fire can be divided into two categories: Quantification of Design risk-based and hazard-based. Both types of methods estimate the potential consequences of Fire Scenarios A Prediction of Hazards possible events. Risk-based methods also analyze the likelihood of scenarios occurring, whereas hazard-based methods do not. Fire risk analysis is described more fully in Section 3, Chapter 8, “Fire Risk Analysis.” Section 3, Chapter 9, “Closed Form Enclosure Fire Calculations,” provides Key Terms simple fire growth calculation methods. bounding condition, design The goal of a fire hazards analysis (FHA) is to determine the expected outcome of a specific fire curve, design fire set of conditions called a fire scenario. The scenario includes details of the room dimensions, con- scenario, fire hazard tents, and materials of construction; arrangement of rooms in the building; sources of combustion analysis, fire model, fire air; position of doors; numbers, locations, and characteristics of occupants; and any other details scenario, performance- that have an effect on the outcome of interest. This outcome determination can be made by expert based design, t-squared fire judgment, by probabilistic methods using data from past incidents, or by deterministic means such as fire models. “Fire models” include empirical correlations, computer programs, full-scale and reduced-scale models, and other physical models. The trend today is to use models whenever pos- sible, supplemented if necessary by expert judgment. -

Inert Lubricants Oils – Greases – Waxes Halocarbon Inert Lubricants
Inert Lubricants Oils – Greases – Waxes Halocarbon Inert Lubricants Halocarbon oils, greases and waxes are polychlorotrifluoroethylenes (PCTFE), which are chemically inert and nonflammable lubricants with high thermal stability, good lubricity, high dielectric strength and low compressibility. Halocarbon was the first to commercially produce PCTFE-based lubricants over 60 years ago. We offer a wide range of oils, greases and waxes to meet industries' needs. The inertness of our lubricant is required for the safe handling of highly reactive and/or aggressive chemicals like oxygen, chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, sulfur trioxide and nitric acid. This unique chemistry can also provide advantage in many other applications from lab-scale to the production plant. Have Questions?

Autoignition Temperature Determinations and Their Relationship to Other Types of Potential Ignition Sources and Their Applicatio
I. CHEM. E. SYMPOSIUM SERIES NO. 58 AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE DETERMINATIONS & THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER TYPES OF POTENTIAL IGNITION SOURCES & THEIR APPLICATION TO PRACTICAL SITUATIONS D J Lewis Developments in the measurement of autoignition temperature values are reviewed and the differences between various methods noted. For certain applications, the volume of mixture which can potentially ignite is considerably different to that used in laboratory determinations and the effect of volume on autoignition temperature is analysed. A method of extrapolation which links in to data relating to flame kernal establishment by other ignition sources is outlined and the application of autoignition temperature values to practical situations is discussed in detail. INTRODUCTION Standard test methods for the determination of autoignition temperatures of vaporised liquids and gases in air at atmospheric pressure have been available in various forms since 1930. A considerable number of values for different fuels (both as pure materials and mixtures) have been published and have found specific application as regards the selection of electrical equipment for hazardous locations. Recently there have been developments relating to new methods for determining a reaction threshold temperature for liquid and solid materials in air and also regarding the distinction between the temperatures at which cool flame behaviour will be produced and at which normal combustion type flames result. The combination of economic pressures and higher standards of chemical processing safety is leading to the increasing use of autoignition temperature values under conditions widely different from those used to determine them. As a result it is appropriate to review the autoignition temperature test methods and techniques for the application of such values to practical situations. -
Fire Investigation of Spontaneous Heating
Fire Investigation of Spontaneous Heating Author: Donald E Berg, Senior Principal Consultant, Envista Forensics The investigation of spontaneous heating fires can be challenging and come with a unique set of circumstances due to many factors; evidence Highlights is consumed, a site is left with little or no evidentiary material, or collected evidence sent for laboratory analysis does not show the presence of • Self-Heating Spontaneous chemical residues. Additionally, burn patterns from such fires can be Combustion difficult to interpret. • Autoignition of Fires The methodology for performing an origin and cause investigation after • Investigation of Spontaneous a spontaneous heating fire does not change, but the efforts to determine Ignition the specific area of origin needs to be well established before spontaneous • Case Study and Myths ignition can be confirmed. This type of investigation requires in-depth analyses of the events leading up to the fire including witness statements, a precise timeline, weather conditions (including the temperature and humidity), and the location of any contributing factors, such as material remains or product residue. Spontaneous Combustion Due to Self-Heating The 2021 edition of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), chapter 5, section 5.7.4.1.1.5, describes spontaneous combustion due to self-heating as a special form of smoldering ignition that does not involve an external heating process. This happens when an exothermic reaction within the material leads to ignition and burning. According to the NFPA, when a material is able to dissipate the heat generated by internal exothermic reactions, it is considered ignition by self-heating. If the generated heat cannot be dissipated to the surroundings, the material will rise in temperature and a smolder front can be formed.
