Abstract

Close to high power radio/radar transmitters there is a possibility that sparks may be occur at discontinuities in metallic structures. If these structures are in an area in which a flammable mixture may be present, there is a possibility that a fire or explosion may be caused by the sparking. A number of assessment procedures for quantification of the hazard have been produced. This paper reviews the bases of the British Standard covering ignition hazards by radio-frequency radiation and presents some ignition test apparatus to access these hazards.
