Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers the calculation of hazard potentialfigures-of-merit for exothermi

3、c reactions, including:(1) Time-to-thermal-runaway,(2) Critical half thickness,(3) Critical temperature,(4) Adiabatic decomposition temperature rise(5) Explosion potential,(6) Shock sensitivity,(7) Instantaneous power density, and(8) NFPA instability rating.1.2 The kinetic parameters needed in this

4、calculation maybe obtained from differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)curves by methods described in other documents.1.3 This technique is the best applicable to simple, singlereactions whose behavior can be described by the Arrheniusequation and the general rate law. For reactions which do notmeet

5、 these conditions, this technique may, with caution, serveas an approximation.1.4 The calculations and results of this practice might beused to estimate the relative degree of hazard for experimentaland research quantities of thermally unstable materials forwhich little experience and few data are a

6、vailable. Comparablecalculations and results performed with data developed for wellcharacterized materials in identical equipment, environment,and geometry are key to the ability to estimate relative hazard.1.5 The figures-of-merit calculated as described in thispractice are intended to be used only

7、 as a guide for theestimation of the relative thermal hazard potential of a system(materials, container, and surroundings). They are not intendedto predict actual thermokinetic performance. The calculatederrors for these parameters are an intimate part of this practiceand must be provided to stress

8、this. It is strongly recommendedthat those using the data provided by this practice seek theconsultation of qualified personnel for proper interpretation.1.6 The SI units are standard.1.7 There is no ISO standard equivalent to this practice.1.8 This standard does not purport to address all of thesaf

9、ety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Summary of Practice4.1 This practice describes the calculation of eight figures-of-merit used to estimate the relative thermal hazard potentialof thermally unstable materials. These figures-of-merit includetime

27、-to-thermal-runaway (tc), critical half thickness (a), criticaltemperature (Tc), adiabatic decomposition temperature rise(Td), explosion potential (EP), shock sensitivity (SS), instanta-neous power density (IPD), and instability rating (IR). Thesecalculations are based upon the determined or assumed

28、 valuesfor activation energy (E), pre-exponential factor (Z), specificheat capacity (Cp), thermal conductivity (l), heat of reaction(H), and density or concentration (r). The activation energyand pre-exponential factor may be calculated using TestMethod E 698, Method E 2041, or Test Method E 2070. T

29、hespecific heat capacity may be obtained from Test MethodE 1269. Thermal conductivity may be obtained from TestMethods C 177, C 518, D 4351,orE 1952. Heat of reactionmay be obtained from Test Method E 793. Values for concen-tration or density may be estimated from known values ofmodel materials or t

30、hrough actual measurement. In addition,certain assumptions, such as initial temperature and containergeometries, must be supplied.5. Significance and Use5.1 This practice provides eight figures-of-merit which maybe used to estimate the relative thermal hazard potential ofthermally unstable materials

31、. Since numerous assumptionsmust be made in order to obtain these figures-of-merit, caremust be exercised to avoid too rigorous interpretation (or evenmisapplication) of the results.5.2 This practice may be used for comparative purposes,specification acceptance, and research. It should not be used t

32、opredict actual performance.6. Interferences6.1 Since the calculations described in this practice arebased upon assumptions and physical measurements whichmay not always be precise, care must be used in the interpre-tation of the results. These results should be taken as relativefigures-of-merit and

33、 not as absolute values.6.2 The values for time-to-thermal-runaway, critical halfthickness, and critical temperature are exponentially dependentupon the value of activation energy. This means that smallimprecisions in activation energy may produce large impreci-sions in the calculated figures-of-mer

34、it. Therefore, activationenergy of the highest precision available should be used (1).56.3 Many energetic materials show complex decomposi-tions with important induction processes. Many materials areused or shipped as an inhibited or stabilized composition,ensuring an induction process. In such case

35、s, time-to-thermal-runaway will be determined largely by the induction processwhile critical temperature will be determined by the maximum-rate process. These two processes typically have very differentkinetic parameters and follow different rate-law expressions.5The boldface numbers in parentheses
