For the safety design and operation of many gas process, it is necessary to know certain explosion limit, flash point, auto ignition temperature and minimum oxygen concentration of handling substances. Also it is necessary to know explosion limit at high temperature and pressure. For the safe handling of propane, explosion limit and autoignition temperature of combustion characteristics for propane were investigated. By using the literatures data, the lower and upper explosion limits of propane recommended 2.0 vol% and 10.0 vol%, respectively. Also autoignition temperatures of propane with ignition sources recommended $450^{\circ}C$ at the electrically heated cruicible fumace(the whole surface heating) and recommended about $960^{\circ}C$ at the local hot surface. The new equations for predicting the temperature and the pressure dependence of the explosion limits of propane are proposed. The values calculated by the proposed equations were a good agreement with the literature data.

The critical spontaneous ignition temperature for activated carbon were observed by performing experiments for granulated activated carbon with varying the period. As the results of the experiments, the critical spontaneous ignition temperature according to period of 0.5hr, 1.5hr and 2.5hr was 177.5$^{\circ}C$, 176.5$^{\circ}C$ and 172.5$^{\circ}C$ respectively, and the approximate expression of the critical spontaneous ignition temperature obtained for ambient temperature amplitudes was as follow ; $\delta$$_{c}$ (X, $\omega$)=$\delta$$_{c}${1-0.381 exp(-0.930.$\omega$$^{0.811}$)}.

An accurate information of the autoignition temperature(AIT) is important in developing appropriate prevention and control measures in industrial fire. This study measured the AITs of trichlorosliane and dichlosilane(DCS)-trichlorosliane(TCS) mixtures by using ASTM E659-78 apparatus. The experiment AITs of trichlorosliane, TCS(90wt%)-DCS(10wt%) and the TCS(70wt%)-DCS(30wt%) were $225^{\circ}C,\;250^{\circ}C\;and\;236^{\circ}C$, respectively.

국내 저층 공동주택 화재시의 화재 전파 경로와 상층으로의 화재 전파를 살펴보기 위하여 4층 공동 주택을 대상으로 실물화재 실험을 수행하였다. 화재는 3층 주택에서 발화하는 것으로 하였고, 초기 화원은 주방에서 과열된 식용유에 발화되어 발생하는 것으로 하였다. 주택 내부 가연물은 일반 가정의 필수 가연물을 모두 포함 하였다. 내부 화재 성상을 확인하기 위하여 가시화, 주요부의 온도측정, 산소농도 측정을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 초기 화원의 발화 시간, 화재 층 내부 각 구획으로의 전파시간, 전역화재 발생시간을 파악하였으며, 상층으로의 연소확대 경로를 파악하였다.

본 연구에서는 실내 내장재료 많이 사용되고 있는 벽지를 대상으로 선정하여 연소특성을 고찰하고자 콘 칼로리미터, 연기밀도 시험기, 발화점 시험기, 산소지수 시험기를 이용하여 각각의 발열성, 발연성, 착화성, 난연성을 측정하였다. 벽지의 발열특성은 기능성 벽지인 쑥벽지와 특정벽지인 질석벽지가 다른 벽지에 비해 많은 열을 방출하는 것으로 나타났으며, 방염벽지의 연기밀도가 130.8로 가장 높은 값을 나타냈다. 질석벽지는 61초에 착화가 되어 다른 벽지에 비해 착화시간이 최소 4배 이상 늦게 착화가 되었으며, 발화온도 또한 270.8$^{\circ}C$로 높게 나타났다. 산소지수측정 범위는 18.9${\sim}$23.2%의 값으로 공기 중의 산소농도와 비슷한 범위인 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, we have carried out test to examine the ignition characteristics, such as a relation of moisture content and combustibility, and ignition temperature using KRS-RG-9000 tester, of significant part of above trees which are representative species of Young Dong Province of Korea. After rainfall, the percentage of moisture content of living leaves and branches was between 52 and 70%. But it was just between 17 and 33% after 144 hours drying at normal temperature. For dead leaves, it was 10% lower than of first. There was a significant difference on ignition characteristics. The hazard of ignition is highest on dead leaves. The ignition temperature of barks and branches is higher so a retard time is long than of living and dead leaves at normal temperature.

For the safe handling of isopropyl alcohol, the explosion limits were investigated. The lower flash points, upper flash points, fire point, and AITs(autoignition temperatures) by ignition time delay for isopropyl alcohol were experimented. By using literature data, the lower and upper explosion limits of isopropyl alcohol were recommended as 2.0 and 12.0 vol%, respectively. The lower flash points of isopropyl alcohol were experimented $12{\sim}14^{\circ}C$ by using closed-cup tester and $18{\sim}19^{\circ}C$ by using open cup tester. And the upper flash points of isopropyl alcohol was experimented $38^{\circ}C$ by using Setaflash closed-cup tester. This study measured relationship between the AITs and the ignition delay times by using ASTM E659 apparatus was $463^{\circ}C$.

자연발화란 어떤 물질이 공기 중에 노출되어 외부의 화염, 불티, 고온체와의 접촉 등에 의한 출화가 아닌 그 물질 고유의 성질로 스스로 발열반응을 일으키고 온도상승을 일으켜 마침내 발화하는 현상을 말하며 다음과 같은 것이 있다.
