Abstract
For the safe handling of 3-hexanone(ethyl propyl ketone), this study was investigated the explosion limits of 3-hexanone in the reference data. The flash points and AITs(auto-ignition temperatures) by ignition delay time were experimented. The lower flash points of 3-hexanone by using closed-cup tester were experimented at $18^{\circ}C$. The lower flash points of 3-hexanone by using open cup tester were experimented in $27^{\circ}C{\sim}32^{\circ}C$. This study measured relationship between the AITs and the ignition delay times by using ASTM E659 tester for 3-hexanone. The experimental AIT of 3-hexanone was at $425^{\circ}C$. The lower explosion limit( LEL) by the measured lower flash point of 3-hexanone was calculated as 1.21 Vol%.
