An Evaluation of the MSHA Temperature-Pressure Spray Ignition Test for Hydraulic Fluids

摘要

The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) Temperature-Pressure Spray Ignition Test for determining the fire resistance of hydraulic fluids was evaluated in spray ignition tests on 14 different hydraulic fluids including water glycols, synthetics, and invert emulsions. Results of these and of other tests designed to evaluate the test method and its procedures are discussed in this report.
