• Flammability of Wider Conveyor Belts Using Large-scale Fire Tests
  1/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  This paper describes the results of recent experiments comparing results from using the BELT and the large-scale tests for six different belts.
• Effect of Air Velocity on Conveyor Belt Fire Suppression Systems
  2/1/2009 - Conference papers
  Researchers evaluated four different types of fire suppression systems to study the effect of air velocity on extinguishing conveyor belt fires. Details are presented on the large-scale fire test set-up and arrangement of fire suppression systems.
• The Limiting Oxygen Concentration and Flammability Limits of Gases and Gas Mixtures
  6/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  This paper presents data on the limiting (minimum) oxygen concentration in the presence of added N₂, methane, propane, ethylene, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen and some of their binary mixtures, and addresses flammable concentration limits.
• Explosion Temperatures and Pressures of Metals and Other Elemental Dust Clouds
  7/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  NIOSH's Pittsburgh Research Laboratory conducted a study of the explosibility of various metals and elemental dusts, focusing on explosion temperatures. The data will aid in evaluating explosion hazards in the minerals/metals processing industries.
• The Role of ASTM E27 Methods in Hazard Assessment: Part II - Flammability and Ignitability
  3/1/2005 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  This paper highlights some of the widely used standards for accurate flammability and ignitability data for chemicals, complemented with hypothetical but relevant examples describing the testing strategy, interpretation, and application of the results.
• Flammability of Noise Abatement Materials Used in Cabs of Mobile Mining Equipment
  1/1/2003 - Conference papers
  Describes the flammability tests conducted on 15 to 20 different noise abatement materials of various chemical compositions and thickness.
• Flammability Limit Measurements for Dusts in 20-L and 1-m3 Vessels
  5/1/2000 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  Two types of flammability limits have been measured for various dusts in the Fike 1-m3 (1000-L) chamber and in the Pittsburgh Research Laboratory (PRL) 20-L chamber.
• Flammability of Gas Mixtures Containing Volatile Organic Compounds and Hydrogen
  5/1/2000 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  An experimental program was conducted to evaluate the accuracy of some current methods for predicting the flammability of gas mixtures containing hydrogen and flammable or nonflammable volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in air.
• Flammability of Methane, Propane, and Hydrogen Gases
  5/1/2000 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  This paper reports the results of flammability studies for methane, propane, hydrogen, and deuterium gases in air conducted by the Pittsburgh Research Laboratory.
• Rapid Sampling of Products During Coal Mine Explosions
  2/1/1991 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  This paper describes a U.S. Bureau of Mines investigation of large-scale coal dust explosions in an experimental mine using a high-speed electropneumatic mechanism for rapid grab-sampling of gases and dusts and shows the benefits of the technique.
