TY - CONF A1 - Zakel, S. A1 - Brandes, E. A1 - Schröder, Volkmar T1 - Safety characteristics of flammable gases and liquids – a review T2 - Proceedings of 12th International Symposium on Hazards, Prevention and Mitigation of Industrial Explosions, Kansas City, USA - August 12-17, 2018 N2 - The safety characteristics of flammable gases and liquids are required when identifying potentially explosive mixtures and taking appropriate actions concerning explosion protection. Examples are given in this review of the safe handling and evaluation of hazards during the processing, storage, transport, and disposal of flammable liquids and gases. The CHEMSAFE database is presented as a reliable source of safety characteristic data, and ist new open-access version is introduced. CHEMSAFE currently contains assessed properties for about 3000 flammable liquids, gases and mixtures. The lack of a broad experimental foundation in the extensive field of non-atmospheric conditions shows the need for further investigation and standardization. This review summarizes experimental evidence and estimation methods for safety characteristic data under non-atmospheric conditions pointing out current limitations. Suggestions for pre-normative research on safety data under nonatmospheric conditions are given.
