Download or read book A Hazards Analysis Method for Oxygen Systems Including Several Case Studies written by RC. Christianson and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oxygen systems and components have hazards associated with the ignitability and flammability of the constituent materials. The NASA Johnson Space Center White Sands Test Facility developed a method for analyzing the hazards of oxygen systems and components. Using this method, material flammability and the risks associated with various ignition modes were addressed. In addition, secondary hazards, such as those caused by seal leakage and the formation of oxygen-enriched environments exterior to pressure-retaining components were addressed. This hazards analysis method is presented as a systematic investigation tool and as a means of training individuals on the nature and level of severity of oxygen-enriched combustion. Three case studies drawn from work performed at the NASA Johnson Space Center White Sands Test Facility are presented. These case studies were conducted on a space flight component, an aircraft flight system, and a facility installation.

Download or read book Using ASTM Standard Guide G 88 To Identify and Rank System Level Hazards in Large Scale Oxygen Systems written by J. Rantala and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performing hazards analyses and fire risk assessments on oxygen systems is critical to ensure that a system design has a low probability of ignition and a low consequence of ignition. Historically several different methods have been used to identify and evaluate fire hazards in oxygen systems. Most of these methods, however, are designed for detailed materials or component analyses, and can be impractical for large-scale oxygen systems with many components and even multiple end processes. Wendell Hull & Associates, Inc. (WHA), in conjunction with Oxygen Safety Consultants, Inc. and INCO Ltd., has developed an efficient approach to identify and evaluate hazards in large-scale oxygen systems. The WHA oxygen hazards and fire risk assessment process considers the important aspects of oxygen system safety as they relate to design, cleaning, operations and maintenance, and uses ASTM Standard Guide G 88 as a basis for quickly identifying and ranking system-level oxygen hazards. ASTM G 88 is a standard guide for oxygen system design containing many system-level factors known to contribute to ignition and propagation of fires. The WHA analysis process applies ASTM G 88 at the system level, using both schematic analysis and visual inspection to systematically assign a hazard severity ranking to all system components, allowing components that possess the greatest risk of ignition and fire propagation to be quickly identified and further evaluated. This paper describes the WHA oxygen hazards and risk assessment method, using ASTM G 88 to quickly identify and assign a hazards severity ranking to components in large-scale oxygen systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ASTM Committee G-04 published several guides and a manual that outline a process for identifying and analyzing fire hazards in oxygen systems. Many companies and government agencies have accepted this process and require hazards analyses to be performed on oxygen systems. When an oxygen hazards analysis is performed, the results are usually documented to identify the hazards associated with the system and its components.
Download or read book Hyperbaric Facility Safety 2nd Edition written by W.T. Workman and published by Best Publishing. This book was released on 2020-03-01 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the first edition of Hyperbaric Facility Safety, A Practical Guide was published it became an integral part of virtually every hyperbaric facility’s reference library, serving as the go-to standard for a hyperbaric safety program. In this second edition, editors W.T. “Tom” Workman and J. Steven “Steve” Wood have endeavored to establish a comprehensive balance between those hyperbaric providers who have a keen interest in the underlying design standards and regulatory framework and those who need to “get it done.” The second edition is structured into two parts. The first part explains the various regulatory agencies that may influence the field of hyperbaric medicine (including international perspectives), while the second part emphasizes a nuts-and-bolts approach to hyperbaric safety program development and how the safety program integrates all aspects of a hyperbaric facility. The editors, along with the 80 chapter authors and contributors bring experiences from clinical hyperbaric medicine, the U.S. Air Force and Navy, the UHMS Hyperbaric Facility Accreditation program, hyperbaric chamber engineering, manufacturing, and regulatory/standards development.

Download or read book Oxygen Enhanced Combustion Second Edition written by Charles E. Baukal Jr. and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-03-15 with total page 795 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combustion technology has traditionally been dominated by air/fuel combustion. However, two developments have increased the significance of oxygen-enhanced combustion—new technologies that produce oxygen less expensively and the increased importance of environmental regulations. Advantages of oxygen-enhanced combustion include less pollutant emissions as well as increased energy efficiency and productivity. Oxygen-Enhanced Combustion, Second Edition compiles information about using oxygen to enhance industrial heating and melting processes. It integrates fundamental principles, applications, and equipment design in one volume, making it a unique resource for specialists implementing the use of oxygen in combustion systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compartment syndrome is a complex physiologic process with significant potential harm, and though an important clinical problem, the basic science and research surrounding this entity remains poorly understood. This unique open access book fills the gap in the knowledge of compartment syndrome, re-evaluating the current state of the art on this condition. The current clinical diagnostic criteria are presented, as well as the multiple dilemmas facing the surgeon. Pathophysiology, ischemic thresholds and pressure management techniques and limitations are discussed in detail. The main surgical management strategy, fasciotomy, is then described for both the upper and lower extremities, along with wound care. Compartment syndrome due to patient positioning, in children and polytrauma patients, and unusual presentations are likewise covered. Novel diagnosis and prevention strategies, as well as common misconceptions and legal ramifications stemming from compartment syndrome, round out the presentation. Unique and timely, Compartment Syndrome: A Guide to Diagnosis and Management will be indispensable for orthopedic and trauma surgeons confronted with this common yet challenging medical condition.
