Abstract:

A device was constructed to simulate an exploding aerosol can. The device consisted of a cylindrical pressure vessel for storage of flammable propellants and base product and a high-rate discharge (HRD) valve for quick release of the constituents. Simulator tests were conducted using representative constituents and propellant quantities for comparison with actual cans heated to the point of rupture and ignition. This report describes the tests conducted with the simulator in unconfined spaces, a B-727 cargo compartment, and an LD-3 Unit Loading Device (ULD). Subsequent work is planned with the aim of matching the pressure pulse produced by the exploding aerosol can simulator with that measured during an overheated aerosol can explosion.
