T1 - A closed pressure vessel test (CPVT) screen for explosive properties of energetic organic compounds JF - Journal of loss prevention in the process industries N2 - Results of a round-robin test on a mini-autoclave are reported and previously proposed criteria reviewed. Criteria based upon the results for three standard materials are now put forward. These standards-based criteria, in contrast to numerical criteria, theoretically allow any laboratory to utilize the data accumulated to date, irrespective of the equipment used. The practical requirement is that adequate discrimination can be achieved. Data to assess this are given.

T1 - Investigation of the explosive hazard of mixtures containing hydrogen peroxide and different alcohols JF - Journal of hazardous materials N2 - The explosive properties of mixtures of aqueous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and different alcohols (R–OH) like 2-propanol (2-PropOH), 2-methyl-2-propanol (TBA), 2-methyl-2-butanol (TAA) and 2-methyl-2-pentanol (THA) were investigated. Among others, the potential hazard of such mixtures may be characterized by their ability to react by different mechanisms of an explosion in the condensed phase, e.g. the thermal explosion or the detonation. Accordingly, the mixtures were experimentally investigated either by heating them up under confinement in different autoclaves or by exposing them to a shock wave impact applying the steel tube test. The results are discussed and compared to literature data.

T1 - The "Mini Closed Pressure Vessel Test (MCPVT)" as a screening or classification test for explosive properties of organic peroxides JF - Journal of loss prevention in the process industries N2 - Tests according to the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods for the determination of explosive properties of organic peroxides have been compared with screening criteria for explosivity based on measurements in a closed mini-autoclave (MCPVT). It will be shown that an additional screening test may be helpful but the information obtained from the UN tests are more important to characterise the specific properties of a substance under different conditions.
