9、stigation of Fire and Explosion Accidents in the Chemical, Mining, and Fuel-Related Industries - A Manual, by Kuchta, 1985, is hereby reprinted in its entirety. This compendium, formerly available from the U.S. Bureau of Mines, contains information essential to an understanding of detection, measure
10、ment, and handling of flammable gases and vapors. For further information, refer to ANSI/ISA-TR12.13.01. ABSTRACT This technical report includes theoretical and practical work carried out and collected by the U.S. Bureau of Mines relating to ignitability, flammability and physicochemical properties
11、of flammable gas mixtures, liquids, and solids. While emphasis of this document is on investigation of fires and explosions, a significant amount of theoretical & practical data related to flammability limits, under varying conditions of proportion, temperature and pressure is included.
