Experimental Research Solutions
Industrial accidents relating to explosive gases, vapours and dusts can be catastrophic. It is therefore important every step is taken to ensure the safety of plant and personnel. Aber Shock and Detonation Research Limited (ASDRL) offer our clients the opportunity to research explosion related problems through rigorous experimentation. Only controlled experimentation
can provide definitive proof of any potential explosion risk when considering unusual gases, vapours, dusts, pipeline configurations or flammability limits.
ASDRL can also test, assess and aid development of explosion mitigation
methods and systems.
Experimental research programmes are tailored to meet your needs and budget.
A typical project will include:
- Initial consultation
- Programme design and quotation
- Literature review
- Experimental design including bespoke rig manufacture
- Experimentation and reporting
Standard Experimental Services
ASDRL also offer standard experimental testing procedures which can be
applied to yield immediate results. These standard test programmes
generally resemble a truncated form of the more intensive research option.
The standard experimental services are detailed below;
- Explosion development monitoring
ASDRL can offer state of the art pressure and flame front instrumentation
for the monitoring of explosions within closed volumes. Multiple 12bit
channels sampling at 10MHz allow for the identification all explosion
events including deflagration, deflagration to detonation transition (DDT)
and detonation.
- Shock tube investigations
The auto ignition delay times (ait) of gases and vaporised fuels can be
assessed using shock tube experimentation. The static high pressure
conditions created within a shock tube can be accurately managed and any
combustion monitored in detail.
