To mitigate against the threat of industrial explosions, Reliable fire provides a wide range of explosion protection products and services to industry. From explosion testing, to explosion venting systems, to explosion suppression systems, and to explosion isolation systems, Reliable has the strategies and tools to protect your plant from the devastation of process explosions.
Understanding the explosibility characteristics of your particular process media, or other explosion hazard, is the first step toward obtaining effective protection. In some cases, these characteristics may be well defined and documented. If the desired data is not available for your specific hazard, Reliable Fire with Fike Corporation can test your materials in accordance with ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) and ISO (International Standard Organization) procedures.
A wide range of standard tests are available as well as the ability to conduct specialized "large scale" tests at our remote facility. Testing is critical for gaining the knowledge you need to maintain a safe, protected work place.
| 20 Liter Dust Explosibility | Maximum pressure, Pmax, maximum pressure rate of pressure rise, (dp/dt)max, and dust conflagration index, KSt. Measures potential explosion severity of a dust-air mixture. |
| 20 Liter Dust Explosibility | Minimum Explosible Concentration. Relationship between dust concentration and explosion severity. |
| 20 Liter Dust Explosibility | Maximum Oxygen Concentration. The lowest oxygen concentration in air at which a dust explosion will occur. |
| 20 Liter Gas Explosibility | Maximum pressure, Pmax, maximum pressure rate of pressure rise, (dp/dt)max, and dust conflagration index, KSt. Measures potential explosion severity of a fuel-air mixture. |
| Limits of Flammability | Liquids and Gases - Ambient Conditions. Upper flammable limit (UFL) and lower flammable limit (LFL) of liquid or gaseous chemicals in air at ambient pressure and temperature. Maximum Oxygen Concentration (MOC) also available. |
| Limits of Flammability | Liquids and Gases - Elevated Pressure & Temperature. Upper flammable limit (UFL) and lower flammable limit (LFL) of gaseous chemicals in air at elevated pressure and/or temperature (>1 atm, 70 degrees F). Maximum Oxygen Concentration (MOC) also available. |
| Minimum Ignition Energy for Dusts | Lowest spark energy required to initiate a dust explosion. Assesses relative sensitivity of the sample to ignition by electrical sparks. |
| Minimum Dust Layer Ignition Temperature | Minimum temperature at which a dust layer will ignite when exposed to a heated surface. Provides a relative measure of dust ignitability. |
| Minimum Autoignition Temperature of Dust Clouds | Minimum temperature at which a dust cloud will autoignite when exposed to air heated in a furnace. (MAIT) provides a relative measure of dust cloud ignitability. |
| Minimum Autoignition Temperature of Liquid Chemicals | Autoignition temperature of a liquid chemical in air at atmospheric pressure in a uniformly heated vessel. |
Fike Corporation is the only sole source provider of explosion suppression, isolation, venting, and testing solutions With Fike, Reliable provides solution-based designs for explosion protection drawn from a wide variety of protection strategies. This allows for custom protection strategies based on your actual need.
