Through the Fire Hazards in Oxygen Systems course, students will learn to identify and evaluate hazards in oxygen systems. Discussion of safe practices in design, materials selection, and operation of oxygen systems, as well as reviews of related ASTM standards are included. Course topics include:
- The need for oxygen compatibility,
- Concepts of safety risk and risk management in oxygen systems/operations,
- ASTM Standard Guides for use with oxygen systems/operations,
- Related ASTM test methods for combustion hazards in oxygen systems,
- How NASA handles oxygen compatibility, and
- Future trends.
Students will understand physical principles and empirical observations related to operations involving oxygen systems and the safe practices resulting from them; become familiar with the information needed to cope with fire hazards in oxygen systems; and become familiar with these design principles through in-class exercises.
Target Audience
This course is specifically intended for engineers and designers who design, operate, or maintain oxygen system.
- ASTM Training
- NASA Satern Training (NASA personnel only)
