34、 can alsobe used as a tool to perform safety audits of existing oxygen systems and components. When used as an auditing tool for existingsystems, Guide G88 can be applied in two stages: first examining system schematics/drawings, then by visually inspecting thesystem (that is, “walking the pipeline”

35、). Guide G88 can be used in conjunction with the materials selection/hazards analysisapproach outlined in Guides G63 and G94 to provide a comprehensive review of the fire hazards in an oxygen or oxygen-enrichedsystem (1).55. Factors Affecting the Design for an Oxygen or Oxygen-Enriched System5.1 Gen

36、eralAn oxygen system designer should understand that oxygen, fuel, and heat (source of ignition) must be present tostart and propagate a fire. Since materials of construction of the system are often flammable and oxygen is always present, thedesign of a system for oxygen or oxygen-enriched service r

37、equires identifying potential sources of ignition and the factors thataggravate propagation. The goal is to eliminate these factors or compensate for their presence. Preventing fires in oxygen andoxygen-enriched systems involves all of the following: minimizing system factors that cause fires and en

38、vironments that enhancefire propagation; maximizing the use of system materials with properties that resist ignition and burning, especially where ignitionmechanisms are active; and using good practices during system design, assembly, operations and maintenance.5.2 Factors Recognized as Causing Fire

39、s:5.2.1 TemperatureAs the temperature of a material increases, the amount of energy that must be added to produce ignitiondecreases (2). Operating a system at unnecessarily elevated temperatures, whether locally or generally elevated, reduces the safetymargin. The ignition temperature of the most ea

40、sily ignited material in a system is related to the temperature measured by TestMethod G72, but is also a function of system pressure, configuration and operation, and thermal history of the material. Elevatedtemperature also facilitates sustained burning of materials that might otherwise be self-ex

41、tinguishing.5.2.1.1 Thermal IgnitionThermal ignition consists of heating a material (either by external or self-heating means, see alsosection 5.2.2) in an oxidizing atmosphere to a temperature sufficient to cause ignition. In thermal ignition testing, the spontaneousignition temperature is normally

42、 used to rate material compatibility with oxygen as well as evaluate a materials ease of ignition.The ignition temperature of a given material is generally dependent on its thermal properties, including thermal conductivity, heatof oxidation, and thermal diffusivity, as well as other parameters such

43、 as geometry and environmental conditions (3). Thecharacteristic elements of forced thermal ignition in oxygen include the following:5.2.1.1.1An external heat source capable of heating a given material to its spontaneous ignition temperature in a given environment.5.2.1.1.2A material with a spontane

44、ous ignition temperature below the temperature created by the heat source in the given configurationand environment.5.2.1.1.3Example: A resistive element heater in a thermal runaway fault condition causing oxygen-wetted materials in near proximity tospontaneously ignite.5.2.2 Spontaneous IgnitionSom

45、e materials, notably certain accumulations of fines, porous materials, or liquids may undergoreactions that generate heat. If the heat balance (the rate of heating compared to the rate of dissipation) is unfavorable, thetemperature of the material will increase. In some cases, a thermal runaway temp

46、erature (a critical condition) may be attained andsome time later the material may spontaneously ignite. Ignition and fire may occur after short (seconds or minutes) or over long5 The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to the list of references at the end of this standard.G88 134(hours, days or m

47、onths) periods of time. In the most extreme cases, the thermal runaway temperature may be near or below normalroom temperature. The characteristic elements of spontaneous ignition in oxidants include the following:5.2.2.1 A material that reacts (for example, oxidizes, decomposes) at temperatures sig

48、nificantly below its ignition temperature.If the rate of reaction is low, the effect of reaction can still be large if the material has a high surface-area-to-volume ratio (suchas dusts, particles, foams, chars, etc.). Likewise, materials that will not spontaneously combust in bulk forms may become

49、proneto do so when subdivided. In some cases, reaction products may instead serve to passivate the material surface producing aprotective coating that prevents ignition so long as it is not compromised (by melting, cracking, flaking, spalling, evaporating. etc.).Reaction products may also stratify or otherwise form an ignition-resistant barrier.TABLE 1 Role of Guide G88 with Respect to Other ASTM G04Standard Guides and Practices and their SupportingTest MethodsA ,BG128 Guide to Control of Hazards and Risks in Oxygen-EnrichedSystemsG88 Designing Systems for Oxygen
