- Abstract
- This is the eleventh Special Technical Publication (STP) originating from ASTM Committee G4 focusing on Flammability and Sensitivity of Materials in Oxygen-Enriched Environments. As in the past STPs, the eleventh volume expands upon the objectives that have been carried forward since the first STP was published in 1983. These objectives include: (*) Review the current research on polymers and metals ignition and combustion; (*) Overview principles of oxygen systems design and issues related to materials compatibility with oxygen; contribute to the knowledge on the most current risk management concepts, practices, approaches, and procedures used by individuals and organizations involved in the design, use, retrofitting, maintenance, and cleaning of oxygen systems; (*) Review accident/incident case studies related to oxygen systems and oxygen handling procedures; (*) Provide the most current data related to the flammability and sensitivity of materials in oxygen-enriched atmospheres to designers, users, manufacturers, and maintainers of oxygen components and systems and to support the Committee G4's Technical and Professional Training Course on Fire Hazards in Oxygen Systems and Oxygen Systems Operation and Maintenance standards; (*) Discuss enhancement, development, and use of standards sponsored by ASTM Committee G04 on Compatibility and Sensitivity of Materials in Oxygen Enriched Atmospheres; (*) Provide a readily accessible reference addressing oxygen compatibility. The Eleventh Volume consists of a group of peer-reviewed publications from the Journal of ASTM International of work that was also presented at Committee G4's Eleventh International Symposium held in Washington, DC, USA in October 2006. The volume contains 32 papers on topics related to ignition and combustion of non-metals, ignition and combustion of metals, oxygen compatibility of components and systems, analysis of ignition and combustion, failure analysis and safety, and aerospace applications.
