Abstract:

The purpose of this testing was to determine the temperatures that would cause self-activation of sodium chlorate oxygen generators. The data will be used to establish the degree of thermal protection that would be required to prevent the activation of chemical oxygen generators should they be exposed to heat from cargo compartment fire involving other materials. The minimum temperature that caused the activation of one of the generators was 600 degrees F. Due to uncertainties with other designs not tested and the physical properties of sodium chlorate, it is recommended that the generators not be exposed to temperatures above 400 degrees F.
