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.

Download or read book Safety Design for Space Systems written by Tommaso Sgobba and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2023-07-25 with total page 1190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lack of widespread education in space safety engineering and management has profound effects on project team effectiveness in integrating safety during design. On one side, it slows down the professional development of junior safety engineers, while on the other side it creates a sectarian attitude that isolates safety engineers from the rest of the project team. To speed up professional development, bridge the gap within the team, and prevent hampered communication and missed feedback, the entire project team needs to acquire and develop a shared culture of space safety principles and techniques.The second edition of Safety Design for Space Systems continues to address these issues with substantial updates to chapters such as battery safety, life support systems, robotic systems safety, and fire safety. This book also features new chapters on crew survivability design and nuclear space systems safety. Finally, the discussion of human rating concepts, safety-by-design principles, and safety management practices have also been revised and improved. With contributions from leading experts worldwide, this second edition represents an essential educational resource and reference tool for engineers and managers working on space projects. - Provides basic multidisciplinary knowledge on space systems safety design - Addresses how space safety engineering and management can be implemented in practice - Includes new chapters on crew survivability design and nuclear space systems safety - Fully revised and updated to reflect the latest developments in the field
Download or read book Safety Design for Space Systems written by Gary Eugene Musgrave and published by Butterworth-Heinemann. This book was released on 2009-03-27 with total page 988 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Progress in space safety lies in the acceptance of safety design and engineering as an integral part of the design and implementation process for new space systems. Safety must be seen as the principle design driver of utmost importance from the outset of the design process, which is only achieved through a culture change that moves all stakeholders toward front-end loaded safety concepts. This approach entails a common understanding and mastering of basic principles of safety design for space systems at all levels of the program organisation.

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 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 Analysis of Risks to Oxygen Systems from Particulate and Fiber Contaminants and Derivation of Cleanliness Requirements written by Nikki M. Lowrey and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been well documented in the literature that contamination within oxygen systems can create significant fire hazards. Cleanliness limits for nonvolatile residues, ranging from 10 to 500 mg/m2, have been established for various industries and types of oxygen systems to reduce the risk of ignition of flammable organic films. Particulate cleanliness limits used for oxygen systems vary considerably. Maximum allowed particle size, quantity limits, and allocations for fibers or metallic particles are all variables seen in aerospace cleanliness limits. Particles are known to have the potential to ignite within oxygen systems and must be limited to prevent fires. Particulate contamination may also pose risks to the performance of oxygen systems that may or may not be related to ignition hazards. An extensive literature search was performed to better understand the relative importance of particle ignition mechanisms versus other deleterious effects of particles on oxygen systems and to identify rationale for derivation of particulate cleanliness limits for specific systems. The identified risks of different types and sizes of particles and fibers were analyzed. This paper summarizes the risks identified and rationale that may be used to derive particulate cleanliness limits for specific oxygen systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Manual of Tests and Criteria contains criteria, test methods and procedures to be used for classification of dangerous goods according to the provisions of Parts 2 and 3 of the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Model Regulations, as well as of chemicals presenting physical hazards according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). As a consequence, it supplements also national or international regulations which are derived from the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods or the GHS. At its ninth session (7 December 2018), the Committee adopted a set of amendments to the sixth revised edition of the Manual as amended by Amendment 1. This seventh revised edition takes account of these amendments. In addition, noting that the work to facilitate the use of the Manual in the context of the GHS had been completed, the Committee considered that the reference to the "Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods" in the title of the Manual was no longer appropriate, and decided that from now on, the Manual should be entitled "Manual of Tests and Criteria".
