Abstract
For the safe handling of cyclohexane, the explosion limit at $25^{\circ}C$ and the temperature dependence of the explosion limits were investigated. Flash point and AIT(autoignition temperature) for cyclohexane were experimented. By using the literatures data, the lower and upper explosion limits of cyclohexane recommended 1.0 Vol% and 9.0 Vol%, respectively. Moreover lower flash points of cyclohexane recommended $-20^{\circ}C$. It was measured relationship between the AITs and the ignition delay times by using ASTM E659-78 apparatus for cyclohexane, and the experimental AIT was $255^{\circ}C$. The new equations for predicting the temperature dependence of the explosion limits of cyclohexane is proposed. The values calculated by the proposed equations were a good agreement with the literature data.
