Download or read book Primer on Spontaneous Heating and Pyrophoricity written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This primer was prepared as an information resource for personnel responsible for operation of DOE nuclear facilities. It has sections on combustion principles, spontaneous heating/ignition of hydrocarbons and organics, pyrophoric gases and liquids, pyrophoric nonmetallic solids, pyrophoric metals (including Pu and U), and accident case studies. Although the information in this primer is not all-encompassing, it should provide the reader with a fundamental knowledge level sufficient to recognize most spontaneous combustion hazards and how to prevent ignition and widespread fires. This primer is provided as an information resource only, and is not intended to replace any fire protection or hazardous material training.

This book was released on 1995-12-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metal powders are solid materials which are distinguished from large pieces of metals by their small size and by the immensel high ratio of surface to volume. Their large specific surface plays an important role wherever surface reactions take place. Densi fication and shrinkage of a powder mass depends to a large extent on the specific surface area. The large specific surface of powders also contributes to the development of several potentially hazardous properties such as pyrophoricity (flammability), explosivity, and toxicity. Much information has been published concerning the pyrophoricity and explosivity of metal powders. However, with respect to the toxi city of metal powders, Miss Brakhnova's book is unique: it is the most comprehensive book on this subject. There are dangerous properties; there are no dangerous materials. Some materials can be hazardous to the uninformed, can have properties that are dangerous if misapplied. They pre sent no danger at all as long as we are aware of these properties and know how to handle them. The key to their proper use is to be aware of such characteristics. Itis to the great credit of Miss Brakhnova that she has called some potentially hazardous prop erties of metal powders to our attention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirty-three metals and alloys having pyrophoric properties were surveyed for applicability as gun-launched kinetic energy penetrators, incendiaries, and fuel igniters. Using actual samples physical properties were determined, ignition combustion temperature/burn time profiles were established, and dynamic terminal effects were tested. Three final candidates were tested against simulated characteristic targets. The results of all testing are tabulated, and recommendations are made for an advanced development program.

Book excerpt: Metal cylinders were projected perpendicularly against thick metal plates at varied velocities to determine thresholds of sparking. Pyrophoric metal projectiles such as cerium (misch metal), hafnium, titanium, zirconium, and aluminum (Dural) had lower thresholds than the non-pyrophoric metals - iron and copper. Empirical predictions of metal pyrophoricity were confirmed by these results. Impacts on Dural targets had higher thresholds than those on steel targets for given metal projectiles. This is attributed to the lower density of Dural. (Author).

Book excerpt: Uranium metal is pyrophoric and is capable of self-ignition in air provided conditions are favorable. Based on the data in this report, spontaneous ignition of spherical particles larger than 1/16 inch in diameter would not be expected to occur in air at room temperature (25°C). The rate at which the uranium surface oxidizes in air, balanced against the rate at which the heat of reaction is lost to the surroundings, determines whether spontaneous ignition can occur. Heat loss to the surrounding environment depends on the thermal conductivity of the uranium including the oxide coating, and on the temperature gradient. The ignition temperature for uranium metal particles is a function of particle geometry, size or specific surface area, heating rate gas composition as well as the quantity and distribution of powder within a storage container. The most important variable; however, affecting the ignition temperature for single samples was found by Schnizlein and Bingle to be the specific surface area (surface area per gram) of the uranium particles. The ignition temperatures calculated from ANL data for 1/16, 1/4, and 1/2 inch diameter spherical particles are 333, 375, and 399°C, respectively. The accuracy is believed to be about ±l0%, which is based on theoretical and experimental results.
