Tillman D., Harding N.S. Fuels of Opportunity: Characteristics and Uses in Combustion Systems

This European Standard was approved by CEN on 9 July 2004. 32p. This document describes a test method for the determination of the limiting oxygen concentration of dust clouds in a closed vessel under defined initial conditions of pressure and temperature.

This European Standard was approved by CEN on 16 August 2005. 46p. This European Standard describes the basic requirements for the design and application of explosion suppression systems. This European Standard also specifies a method for evaluating the effectiveness and the scale up of explosion suppression systems against defined explosions.

This European Standard was approved by CEN on 7 February 2009. 42p. This European Standard describes the general requirements for explosion isolation systems. An explosion isolation system is a protective system, which prevents an explosion pressure wave and a flame or only a flame from propagating via connecting pipes or ducts into other parts of apparatus or plant areas. This European Standard specifies methods for evaluating the efficacy of th...
