정전기에 의한 사고가 발생하려면, 정전기의 발생, 착화 능력을 가진 위험한 방전의 발생, 폭발성 가스, 증기가 공기와의 비율에서 폭발 한계 내에 존재할 것 등의 세가지 조건이 필요하다. 따라서 정전기에 의한 착화, 폭발 사고를 방지하기 위해서는 항상 이 세가지 관점에서 검토하여, 어떤 조건 하에서도 3개 조건 중 적어도 하나 이상을 제거하는 것이 필요하다. 이하, 정전기에 의한 재해 중에서 그 방전이 착화원이 되어서 발생하는 가연성 가스 등의 폭발, 화재에 의한 재해의 방지 대책에 한정해서 개설한다.

화재 및 폭발 특성치로 인화점, 최소발화온도, 폭발한계, 최소발화에너지, 연소열 등을 들 수 있다. 연소특성은 인화성용제들(석유류 및 알코올류 등)의 취급, 저장, 수송에서 포함되어 있는 잠재 위험성을 평가할 때 고려된다. 여러 연소특성 가운데 폭발한계(explosive limits)는 가연성물질(가스 및 증기)을 다루는 공정 설계 시 고려해야 할 중요한 변수로써, 발화원이 존재할 때 가연성가스와 공기가 혼합하여 일정 농도범위 내에서만 연소가 이루어지는 혼합범위를 말한다.(중략)

화학과 석유화학 산업의 많은 공정에서는 가연성가스가 공정 가스로 사용되거나 발생될 수도 있다. 최근 석유화학단지에서 화재 및 폭발이 빈번하게 발생되고 있으므로 이에 대한 재해를 예방하기 위해서는 공정 조건에서의 이들 가연성가스의 연소특성을 알 필요가 있다. 연소특성들로는 폭발한계, 인화점, 최소자연발화점, 최소산소농도, 최소발화에너지, 연소열 등을 들 수 있다.(중략)

To examine the characteristics of the explosion of city gas, the concentration of oxygen was changed with the change of initial pressure. From the result of the experiment, as the concentration of oxygen was low, the explosion limit became narrow and the minimum concentration of oxygen for the explosion was $12\%$. Furthermore, As the increase of the initial pressure, explosion ranges were a little increased. And as the change of the initial pressure, the maximum explosion pressure were $6.3 kgf/cm^2{\cdot}g,\;12.7 kgf/cm^2{\cdot}g$ and the maximum pressure rising velocity were $245.63 kgf/cm^2/s,\;427.88 kgf/cm^2/s$.

The data of city gas accidents has been collected and analysed for not only predictions of the fire and explosion accidents but also the criteria of societal risk. The accidents of the recent 11 years have been broken up into such 3 groups roughly as "release", "explosion", "fire" d 16 groups in detail. Owing to the Poisson probability distribution functions, 'careless work-explosion-pipeline' and 'joint loosening & erosion-release-pipeline' items respectively have turned out to record the lowest and most frequency among the recent 11-years accidents. And thus the proper counteractions must be carried out. In order to assess the societal risks tendency of the fatal gas accidents and set the more obvious safety policies up, the D. O. Hogon equation and the regression method has been used to range the acceptable range in the F-N curve of the cumulative casualties. The further works requires setting up successive database on the fire and explosion accidents systematically to obtain reliable analyses. Also the standard codification will be demanded.

With the increase of risk of gas explosion, various methods for indirectly estimating the explosion paramaters, which are required for the prediction of gas explosion scale and impact. In this study, the characteristics of the most frequently used methods such as TNT equivalent method, TNO multi-energy method, and BST method and the processes for determining the parameters of the methods were compared. In the case of TNT equivalent method, an adequate selection of the efficiency factor for various conditions such as the type of vapor cloud explosion and explosion material is needed. There is no objective guidelines for the selection of class number in TNO multi-energy method and it is not possible to estimate negative overpressure. It was found that there were some mistakes in the reported parameter values and suggested corrected values. BST method provides more detailed guidelines for the estimation of the explosion parameters including negative overpressure, but the graphs used in this methods are not clear. In order to overcome the problem, the graphs were redrawn. A more convenient estimation of explosion parameters with the numerical expression of the redrawn graphs will be available in the future.

Variation of explosion characteristics by the blocks in closed vessel was investigated to analyse the effect of the block volume(volume blockage) and the surface area of the blocks(ratio of block surface area to vessel volume). Volume and surface area of blocks in explosion vessel were changed by the combination of blocks. The volume of explosion vessels was 270 liter, and the LPG-air or NG-air mixtures were ignited by the electric spark. Explosion pressure was measured with the strain type pressure transducer. From the experimental results, explosion pressure was decreased by the increase of the volume blockage and the block surface area. And the decrease of explosion pressure was more affected by the volume blockage than the surface area.
