Deflagration of Shock Sensitive Chemicals
BlazeTech is currently developing an engineering model to calculate the hazards associated with the combustion/deflagration of shock sensitive chemicals. A number of common laboratory chemicals
are prone to forming explosive organic peroxide upon storage for extended periods. Examples include ether, tetra hydro furan (THF), and acetaldehyde. The model calculates the overpressure, fragmentation
of container and fire hazards associated with the combustion/ deflagration of lab quantity chemicals containing variable amounts of peroxides.
