Initiation Sensitivity of Liquid Materials
Abstract
If a liquid material which is compression sensitive is subjected to rapid adiabatic high-order explosion. This evaluating the sensitivity compression, the result could be a paper discusses the method for of liquid materials (that could detonate) to initiation of decomposition in the presence of rapidly compressed gas bubbles. The liquid may or may not be flammable, may be pure chemical compounds, homogenous mixtures or multilayer combinations of immiscible liquids. To investigate the potential of liquid ignition, Safety Consulting Engineers, Inc. (SCE) set up various methods to evaluate the sensitivity of liquid materials to initiation. Methods utilize systematic testing and analysis of hazard detection. A test method describing adiabatic compression of a gas or vapor bubble (in the liquid) as the potential ignition source of liquid explosives and propellants is discussed herewith.
