1、Designation: G 72 01Standard Test Method forAutogenous Ignition Temperature of Liquids and Solids in aHigh-Pressure Oxygen-Enriched Environment1This standard is issued under the fixed designation G 72; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of originaladoption or, in the
2、 case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A superscriptepsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This method covers the determination of the tempera-ture at which liquids and solids w
3、ill spontaneously ignite.These materials must ignite without application of spark orflame in a high-pressure oxygen-enriched environment.1.2 This method is intended for use at pressures of 2.1 to20.7 MPa (300 to 3000 psi). The pressure used in thedescription of the method is 10.3 MPa (1500 psi). The
4、 method,as described, is for liquids or solids with ignition temperaturein the range from 60 to 425C (140 to 800F).1.3 This method is for high-pressure pure oxygen. Themethod may be used in atmospheres from 0.5 % to 100 %oxygen.1.4 An apparatus suitable for these requirements is de-scribed. This met
5、hod could be applied to higher pressures andmaterials of higher ignition temperature. If more severe re-quirements or other oxidizers than those described are desired,care must be taken in selecting an alternative safe apparatuscapable of withstanding the conditions.1.5 This standard does not purpor
6、t to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Summary of Method3.1 This autogenous ignition temperature test method isdesigned to expose solid or liquid sample material to increasingtemperature in a high-
9、pressure reaction vessel. The reactionvessel (bomb), including a sample holding assembly, is pres-surized with the oxygen-enriched environment. The bomb isheated in an electric furnace at a predetermined rate. Thetemperature of the sample-holding assembly is monitored as afunction of time by means o
10、f a thermocouple and recordingpotentiometer.3.2 The minimum temperature required to cause the sampleto ignite spontaneously is determined at any selected systempressure. The point at which spontaneous ignition occurs isdenoted by a sudden rise in temperature and the destruction ofthe sample. The amo
11、unt of rise in temperature is related to thesample size. A sample size is selected to prevent damage to theequipment caused by exceeding safe system pressure ortemperature limits because of the temperature rise.3.3 The system is pressurized to the desired test pressure atthe start of the test. Durin
12、g the test as the temperature isincreased, the pressure increases. No effort is made to controlthe pressure during the test. It is monitored only so that thepressure does not exceed a safe limit for the test equipment.4. Significance and Use4.1 Most organic liquids and solids will ignite in a pressu
13、r-ized oxidizing gas atmosphere if heated to a sufficiently hightemperature and pressure. This procedure provides a numericalvalue for the temperature at the onset of ignition undercarefully controlled conditions. Means for extrapolation fromthis idealized situation to the description, appraisal, or

The pressure will drop approximately0.5 MPa (45 psi) while the
