Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of barrier material testing technology, and in particular to a test system for barrier explosion materials. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, the application of hazardous chemicals such as metal dust, flammable and explosive gases, and aerosols has become increasingly widespread. However, during daily production, transportation, storage, and use, hazardous chemical explosion accidents occur frequently, resulting in a large number of casualties and economic and property losses, and seriously endangering social stability.
[0003] Understanding the flame propagation mechanism of combustion and explosion of hazardous chemicals and their development patterns under different influencing factors, and formulating an efficient combustion and explosion prevention system, is of great theoretical and practical significance for elucidating the causes of hazardous chemical explosion accidents, reducing the disasters caused by hazardous chemical combustion and explosion, and improving the safe production conditions of hazardous chemical enterprises.
[0004] Accidental combustion and explosion of hazardous chemicals can generate high-temperature flames and shock waves. Explosion-proof materials can effectively prevent the flames and shock waves from spreading in all directions, thereby reducing secondary injuries to operators or causing more serious combustion and explosion problems. They can greatly reduce or even eliminate the injuries suffered by operators. Therefore, the performance of explosion-proof materials is crucial. Thus, there is an urgent need for a system that can accurately test the explosion-proof performance of materials. Summary of the Invention
