New large-scale 750 bar Oxygen Pressure Surge Test Facility
- The Oxygen Pressure Surge Test (OPST) is considered to be best practice for evaluating the burn out safety of plant components and testing the compatibility of nonmetallic materials for oxygen service. Nevertheless, there are only a few laboratories worldwide performing the OPST. The Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) already operates oxygen pressure surge test facilities with maximum OPST pressures of 450 bar. However, to ensure technical innovation and to enhance research and development, the decision was made to develop a new and large-scale oxygen pressure surge test facility. Due to the size and the high potential impact energies, the test facility is located outside of Berlin at BAM Test Site for Technical Safety (TTS), where large scale testing is carried out. In addition to an intended maximum OPST pressure of 750 bar, there is the possibility of testing industrial equipment with large inner volumes and diameters.

In addition to an intended maximum OPST pressure of 750 bar, there is the possibility of testing industrial equipment with large inner volumes and diameters. The new quick opening valve constitutes the core of the system and was developed by BAM. It allows to perform tests with the standardized pressure rise times of 15 ms to 20 ms or with adjustable pressure rise times at higher or lower values. As a result, it is possible to provide customized test parameters for specific practical applications as well as research projects. This presentation shows the status quo of this unique test facility, its performance, its technical specifications, and its new possibilities for research and development for a long term enhancement of burn out safety in oxygen application.…
