Abstract:Flammable substances may form explosive atmospheres when mixed with air. To prevent their formation or minimise the risk of their occurrence, it is necessary to understand the properties of the mixtures of flammable substances and to apprehend the properties characterising the course of a potential explosion. To minimise the risk of a fire or an explosion, a process called inerting is used in which, e.g. nitrogen plays the role of an inert agent. The article discusses the method for testing the flammability li… Show more
