The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (UN-GHS) is being implemented in more and more countries all over the world; the EU has done so with the CLP-Regulation (EU-CLP). Compared to the undeniably important questions on health and environmental hazards, the classification of physical hazards of chemicals often has not been in the focus, although their implementation can be challenging and there are traps and pitfalls to be avoided. The following overview of the classification systematics for physical hazards aims at a principle understanding without detailing all criteria or test methods. Similarities and differences between the classification systems of the UN-GHS and EU-CLP, the transport of dangerous goods and the former EU system are reviewed with regard to the physical hazard classes. Available physical hazard classifications for the transport of dangerous goods and according to the former EU system can be used as available information when classifying according to the GHS. However, the interfaces of these classification systems and their limitations have to be understood well when concluding on GHS/CLP classifications. This applies not only to industry when applying CLP but especially to legislators when adapting legislation that in one way or another refers to the classification of chemicals.

At the BAM test range in Horstwalde a number of field trials were conducted with a HE to investigate the free field propagation of shock waves and that resulting from reflection at structure surfaces. In addition, the behavior of the structure under the effect of the dynamic pressure waves after explosion was studied. For both the tests, (a) with a 30 cm thick reinforced-concrete wall and (b) in free field, pressure was measured over the entire test duration with piezoelectric sensors at distances of 5, 10 and 15 m from the detonation center for a range of HE quantities. Apart from this, high speed footage of the tests was recorded as well.
Corresponding to the field tests, numerical simulations of HE detonation were performed using APOLLO BLASTSIMULATOR, a CFD tool developed by Fraunhofer Institute for High-Speed Dynamics, Ernst-Mach-Institute. The accuracy of the simulation results as well as the computing times depend on the spatial grid resolution. The outputs of grid-independence study demonstrated that the peak pressure is higher and the pressure-rise is steeper for simulation runs with a finer grid. Remarkably however, the exponential pressure decline is independent of the grid resolution. Advantage was taken of this feature to obtain improved peak pressure values from comparatively coarser grids, in that curve-fitting was performed using the Friedlander Equation, which is well documented in literature.
The simulation results for pressure-time histories were compared with the field-test results at the corresponding measurement positions. The two data sets showed good correlation in case of scaled distances greater than 5 [m/kg1/3] for both peak pressure and impulse values. This conclusion could be drawn for both trial-types: free-field and with reflection wall. The near field region, on the other hand, necessitates further investigation for the validation of numerical simulation.
Testing of the impact sensitivity of explosives is one of the essential characterisation steps in a safety study. Threshold levels have been agreed from experience for certain processing steps and in relation to handling instructions. However, how reliable is the information, that an explosive has an impact sensitivity of X Joule? This will partly depend on the judgement of the test operator, but also on the statistical method, and on the energetic parameters of the test apparatus. This work focuses on the mechanical performance of the BAM-Fallhammer and how much of the initially available potential energy is transferred to the sample. The differences to the nominal value can be quite large under some conditions. Therefore the energy loss has to be characterised and should possibly be taken into account. In addition an attempt is made, to make results more comparable when the amount of energy loss has been determined by a method shown in the presentation.
An effective protection of structures against impact from detonation of high explosives (HE) necessitate certain design specifications to be met. In the event of an explosion, accidental or intentional, any damage in its neighborhood (especially, for example, to the structures of strategic importance) should remain as low as possible. The behavior of a structure under the shock loading from an explosion will determine the extent of the damage. The investigation of the relevant phenomena that occur during the event of an explosion is the objective of this study.
In accordance with the test parameters, numerical simulations were performed and results were compared with those from field tests. The deformation of the wall under shock impact was simulated by implementing the appropriate interaction of fluid and structure. Moreover, the numerical pressure-time histories in front of the wall were compared with the ones measured in the field by means of piezoelectric pressure gauges, providing a validation for the shock waves’ propagation.
Die BAM stellt sich mit verschiedenen Themen auf der EUROPEAN CONFERENCE 2019 ON PLANT & PROCESS SAFETY vor. Die Themen sind eine Auswahl von Forschungs- und Dienstleistungsarbeiten, die zur Prozesssicherheit geleistet werden und beinhalten Druckentlastungsvorgänge, Sicherheit von Biogasanlagen, Pipelinesicherheit und sicherer Einsatz von Sauerstoff.
The general requirement, that nonmetallic materials for oxygen service must be tested and found suitable for their intended use in plants and components is the current state of technical safety. However, numerous requests of manufacturers, sales offices, and users show that there is still a strong need for information on how these materials are tested and evaluated. Based on more than 60 years of expertise, this paper provides background information on BAM’s test approach. It explains why BAM applies additional assessment criteria on nonmetallic materials for certain use conditions. Hence, the test schedule as well as the final evaluation shall reflect the practical application in a more customer-related way in combination with a higher safety level. That is the demand of BAM’s safety philosophy.
