Chemical Rocket/Propellant Hazards. Volume I. General Safety Engineering Design Criteria,

摘要

This joint Army,Navy,NASA,Air Force manual provides general guidance safety criteria,procedures,instructions,precautions,and related technical information as assistance to those persons responsible for minimizing the hazards associated with the operation of propellant handling and motor and engine test facilities by the services or NASA. Seven chapters cover the facility aspects of planning a safe operation irrespective of the particular propellant involved. Useful guidelines are given for controlling or minimizing toxicity,fire,and explosion hazards. Extensive coverage for blast hazards includes nomographs for estimating blast overpressures,providing that TNT equivalence (and geometry) can be shown for the desired system. (Author)
