...Susana Harper; David Hirsch; Sarah Smith Increased material flammability due to exposure to high oxygen concentrations is a concern from both safety and operational perspectives. Localized high oxygen concentrations can occur when exiting a higher oxygen concentration environment due to material...

...Joseph W. Slusser Improper selection of materials of construction for oxygen and other strong oxidizer applications can result in sudden catastrophic failure. Many available materials are flammable and will burn in oxidizer systems if sufficient ignition energy is provided. Because these combustion...

...Kyle M. Sparks; Joel M. Stoltzfus; Theodore A. Steinberg; David Lynn Promoted ignition testing [1–3] is used to determine the relative flammability of metal rods in oxygen-enriched atmospheres. In these tests, a promoter is used to ignite each metal rod to start the sample burning. Experiments were...
