Abstract:This literature review contains important references relating to fire effects on pressure
vessels. The specific pressure vessels of interest are rail tank-cars carrying pressure
liquefied gases such as LPG and anhydrous ammonia. The literature identified is mainly
from the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Germany.
The references have been organized into the areas of computer modelling, fire testing,
high temperature stress rupture, scale effects, thermal stratification and 2-phase swell,
thermal protection system defects, and pressure relief valves (PRV).
