This study is for analyzing the explosion accidents in the tunnels, roads, subways, streets and various kinds of building construction area with the use of Fault Tree Analysis(FTA). based on the police Department and Guns & Explosives Safety Technology Association's researching materials. the explosion accidents have been investigated and analyzed between 1988 and 1977. As the result, we can find out that the majority of the explosion accidents in Korea is the accidents by flown stones(45.7%), like in Japan. So we make the research chart which is needed for analyzing the explosion accident, and then analyze these accidents systematically. using the investigation codes of the industrial accidents. After that, the FTA was performed on the accidents by flown stones. They result fromm non-observance of the safety rules, and lees knowledge of the safety and so on. Moreover several causes are combined and then the accidents are apt to happen. So according to the results of this study, for the protection of the explosion accidents, the specialized safety education is badly needed and the enough investigation of the places before the work along with the management for safety in working must be planned.

This paper discribes an experimental explosion risk assessment study on refrigerators containing flammable hydrocarbon refrigerant. A refrigerator used in this study is a larder fridge type, 215 liter in volume. The hydrocarbon refrigerant used in the refrigerator is iso-butane(C$_4$H$_{10}$). For the explosion safety assessment of the refrigerator, temperature of compressor, cooling air circulation fan motor, defrost heater and inner lamp were measured during the operation. And to confirm the ignitablity of flammable gas by the electric spark of the switches of the refrigerator, ON-OFF test of all switches were conducted with compulsorily near the stoichiometric concentration atmosphere of iso-butane-air mixture. As the result of experiment above mentioned and another experiment for the explosion safety assessment, we can conclude that explosion hazard in connection with the use of hydrocarbon refrigerant was few.w.

For lighting of dark and hazardous workplaces such as compartments of ships under construction, workers should use hand lamps of explosion-proof type. However, the heavy weight of such lamps has prevented most impatient workers from using such types of lamps extensively. In this paper, ire developed a light weight hand lamp of intrinsic safety type which reduced the weight a lot while maintaining or improving the lighting and explosion-proof function. We made a Prototype which consisted of lamp fixture and low/high frequency power supply. Testing results show that the hand lamp meets well all the explosion-proof testing requirements of the Korea Industrial Safety Corporation.

본 연구는 이동식 부탄연소기에 사용되는 1회용 부탄캔의 변형 및 폭발을 방지하기 위하여, 캔에 안전밸브를 장착한 폭발방지 부탄캔에 대한 사용 중 안전성을 평가하였다. 실제 사용환경에서 설계압력의 오차 범위 내에서 안전밸브가 작동하는지, 안전밸브의 분출유량은 캔의 변형 및 폭발을 방지하기에 적정하게 설계되었는지, 그리고 안전밸브 작동으로 인하여 가스가 누출되었을 때 주변의 점화원에 의한 화재 및 폭발의 위험성 등을 평가하였다. 본 연구를 통해 개발제품이 외부열원에 의한 부탄캔의 내압상승을 방지하여 캔의 폭발을 방지하는 것으로 평가되었다.

본 연구에서는 알루미늄 분말의 입자 크기에 따른 폭발특성을 20 L 분진폭발실험장치(K$\ddot{u}$hner제작)를 사용하여 조사하였다. 사용한 시료는 각각 16, 33, $88{\mu}m$의 체적기준 평균입경을 갖는 알루미늄 입자를 대상으로 실험을 수행하였다. 분진의 평균입경이 16, 33, $88{\mu}m$에서 폭발하한농도는 각각 40, 60, $125g/m^3$로서 분진의 입경이 증가하면 점차적으로 증가하는 경향을 나타냈다. 또한 각각의 알루미늄 분진에서 입자 크기의 증가는 폭발압력 및 분진폭발지수($K_{st}$)의 감소로 이어졌다. 이러한 본 연구 결과는 알루미늄 분말의 활용 및 안전 운전을 위한 중요 자료로 활용될 수 있다.

The release of gas from the LPG storage tank by the rupture or leakage can occure explosion and this causes serious damage to people and structures. In this study, the explosion effect and damaging distance were measured for the LPG cloud explosion to perform the quantitative risk assessment for the PSM, and the effective parameters on the explosion were found. The gas dispersion and mass contaminant in the explosion limits were calculated by using DEGADIS, and it was converted to TNT equivalency and damaging distance. As a result, the wind speed was the most effective parameter on the diffusion rate and TNT equivalency, and the damaging distance were increased with decrease of wind speed and surface roughness.

This study was performed in Hartmann type dust explosion apparatus in order to research the dust explosion characteristics of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose(HPMC): minimum explosive limit, minimum ignition energy, limiting oxygen concentration, maximum explosion pressure, rate of pressure rise, etc. The samples of HPMC dust were distributed into 120-140 mesh, 170-230 mesh and 325 under, and the gap distance of the discharge electrode was setted up at 5mm. The experimental results were obtained as follows: (1) The minimum explosive limit for HPMC dust was founded at 180g/㎥. the minimum ignition energy at 9.8mJ and the limiting oxygen concentration at 12%. (2) The maximum explosion pressure of HPMC dust was $8.1kg/cm^2\;{\cdot}\;$abs at the concentration of $500g/m^3$ and the maximum rate of pressure rise was 203.98 bar/sec at the concentration of $480g/m^3$ for 325 under.

In the June, 1991, there was the explosion in which methanol rectified column as a part of the new surface active agent's manufacturing processes. The type of explosion was estimated as the 'detonation'. The methanol rectified column was ruined, and broken pieces of the column were scattered within 900m. Also, there were victims such as the two deads and thirteen wounded persons. The cause of the explosion was heat explosion by being concentrated locally from 0.1% to several tens% of supply fluid at Metal Hydroperoxide, which was produced by methanol and hydrogen peroxide used as the bleach of surface active agent, during the operation stoppage process of methanol rectified column.

We studied the risk analysis of fire and explosion caused by gas leak in underground-parking of gas vehicle. However, an entrance regulation of gas vehicles (H2/LPG/CNG etc.) to underground garages has not been enacted in Korea. Incase, a gas explodes in an underground parking garage placed in overcrowded residential area, such as an apartment, the scale of the damage would cause tremendous disaster. Faults of vehicle parts and management problems were evaluated by using the Failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA), which is a qualitative analysis method. The range of the damaged area by the explosion and the damage scale by the explosion pressure were analyzed by using the process hazard analysis software tool (PHAST). The study is expected to facilitate enactment of the regulation for the underground parking to restrict the gas vehicle.

산업현장에서 취급되거나 가공되는 원료의약품 분진의 폭발 위험성은 항상 존재하며, 이로 인한 폭발사고가 자주 발생되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 원료의약품 시료 3종의 분진폭발특성을 측정하였다. 주요 폭발특성 측정값은 록소프로펜산은 평균 입경이 $5.31{\mu}m$이며, $P_{max}$는 8.4 bar, 최소점화에너지는 1 mJ < MIE < 3 mJ이며 최소점화온도는 $550^{\circ}C$이다. 클로피도그렐 캄포르술폰산염은 평균 입경이 $95.63{\mu}m$이며, $P_{max}$는 7.9 bar, 최소점화에너지는 30 mJ < MIE < 100 mJ이며 최소점화온도는 $510^{\circ}C$이었다. 리팜피신은 평균 입경이 $26.48{\mu}m$이며 $P_{max}$는 7.9 bar, 최소점화에너지는 1 mJ < MIE < 3 mJ이며 최소점화온도는 $470^{\circ}C$로 나타났다. 이들 값을 적용하여 폭연지수($K_{st}$)와 폭발지수(EI)의 폭발위험등급을 구하고, 원료의약품 분진의 폭발 위험성을 비교 검토하였다. 그 결과 폭발 위험성은 록소프로펜산과 리팜피신의 폭발등급은 St 2이고 폭발위험등급은 severe이며, 클로피도그렐 캄포르술폰산염의 폭발등급은 St 1이고 폭발위험등급은 strong으로 나타났다.
