Failure analysis of a silane gas cylinder valve: A case study

Experimental studies on the ignition behavior of pure silane released into air

“…For example, Peng, Chang, Wu, Tsaur, and Chen (2008) such a loosened retainer has been shown to have indefinitely delayed ignition by Ngai et al (2007). The operator in this case did not notice the unignited silane release from the loosened retainer and continued to turn the valve handwheel until eventually the retainer, valve stem, and valve diaphragm were all detached.…”

Life extension reliability analysis of decommissioned transportable seamless steel gas cylinders: A case study

“…Unfortunately, explosions of gas cylinders usually happen because of hazardous properties of flammability and corrosion of gases, mobility of gas cylinders and other factors, as reported by Panzenbock (2004), Mirzaei (2008), Mirzaei et al (2009) and Peng et al (2008).…”
