- Abstract
- This publication is part of a major oxygen safety review in progress by the NASA Aerospace Safety Research and Data Institute (ASRDI). The objectives of the review include: 1. Recommendations to improve NASA's oxygen handling practices by comparing NASA contractor oxygen systems including the design, inspection, operation, maintenance and emergency procedures. 2. Assessment of the vulnerability to failure of oxygen equipment from a variety of soruces so that hazards may be defined and remedial measures formulated. 3. Contributions to safe oxygen handling techniques through research. 4. Formulation of criteria and standards on all aspects of oxygen handling storage and disposal. This Special Publication is composed of the thermodynamic functions, transport properties, and physical properties of both liquid and gaseous oxygen. The low temperature regime is emphasized. Because the data are detailed beyond that previously available, this handbook should fill an existing need for both the scientific and technical communities.
