에틸벤젠의 안전한 취급을 위해, 폭발한계는 문헌을 통해 고찰하였으며, 인화점과 발화지연시간에 의한 자연발화온도는 시험장치를 이용하여 측정하였다. 인화점의 경우 밀폐식 장치인 Setaflash와 Penski-Martens에 의한 하부인화점은 각 각 $20^{\circ}C$와 $22^{\circ}C$로 측정되었으며, 개방식인 Tag와 Cleveland에서는 각 각 $25^{\circ}C$와 $28^{\circ}C$로 측정되었다. ASTM E659 장치를 사용하여 자연발화온도와 발화지연시간을 측정하였고, 최소자연발화온도는 $430^{\circ}C$로 측정되었다. 에틸벤젠의 측정된 인화점을 이용하여 폭발하한계와 상한계는 0.93 Vol.%와 7.96 Vol.%로 계산되었다.
For the safe handling of ethylbenzene, this study was investigated the explosion limits of ethylbenzene in the reference data. And the lower flash points, upper flash points and AITs(auto-ignition temperatures) by ignition delay time were experimented. The lower flash points of ethylbenzene by using Setaflash closed-cup and Pensky-Martens closed-cup testers were experimented $20^{\circ}C$ and $22^{\circ}C$, respectively. The lower flash points ethylbenzene by using Tag and Cleveland open cup testers were experimented $25^{\circ}C$ and $28^{\circ}C$, respectively. Also, this study measured relationship between the AITs and the ignition delay times by using ASTM E659 tester for ethylbnezene. The experimental AIT of ethylbenzene was $430^{\circ}C$. The calculated LEL and UEL by using the measured lower flash point and upper flash point were 0.93 Vol.% and 7.96 Vol.%, respectively.
