Behavior of the Maximum Explosion Pressure of Gas-Air Mixtures in Small Free Volumes Inside Spherical Enclosures
National Metrology Institute Determination of natural constants Maintenance of the legal units of the SI Partner in research and industry
Contain gases in designate pathways Avoiding the spread of an explosion to the outside environment
Explosion pressure highest in spherical enclosures Maximum Pressure Tests for capsules of small volumes very complex Goal: Determine behavior of maximum explosion pressure in spherical object of smaller and smaller volume
1: Hollow sphere made of polypropylene 2: Ignition electrodes 3: Gas supply capillary 4: Piezo-electric quartz- pressure sensor 5: Polyester resin mantle
