Excerpt from Determination of the Self-Ignition Temperature of Combustible Liquids
With the Constant Temperature Method the temperature of the apparatus is kept constant during the test. The test is repeated at different initial temperatures and with different samples of the same substance until self-ignition occurs. A11 initial temperatures can be precisely adjusted and recorded before the test. With a few exceptions, the initial temperature of a heating bath of the wall of the ig nition vessel, or of the air inside the vessel necessary to promote ignition is generally recognized as the Ignition Temperature.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the results of a study on the self-ignition temperatures of various combustible liquids and explores the many complexities and conditions that affect them. The author presents a thorough review of different test methods and apparatuses used to measure ignition temperatures, highlighting the challenges and inconsistencies encountered in the field. To address these issues, the author developed a novel insulated spherical flask apparatus and standardized test procedures to obtain accurate and reproducible results. The book presents a comprehensive analysis of the ignition characteristics of more than 50 commonly known combustible liquids, including petroleum products, pure hydrocarbons, reference fuels, and various miscellaneous materials, paints, and oils. The author meticulously investigates the effects of fuel-air ratios, thermal properties of the apparatus, and dimensional characteristics on the ignition behavior of these substances. Through a combination of experimental data and theoretical insights, the author identifies the critical factors controlling self-ignition and provides a deeper understanding of the fundamental mechanisms involved. This study contributes significantly to the scientific understanding of ignition phenomena and has important implications for fire prevention, explosion hazard assessment, and the development of safer industrial processes. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781528215329_0
