ANSI/ISA-TR12.13.01:1999(R2013)

ANSI/ISA-TR12.13.01-1999 (R2013), Flammability Characteristics of Combustible Gases and Vapors, provides a comprehensive collection of theoretical and practical data on the flammability characteristics of over 200 combustible gases and vapors. It includes ignition properties, ignitability limits, flammability limits and burning rates, as well as how these factors vary with temperature, pressure and mixture composition. This report draws heavily on research by the US Bureau of Mines and presents data in practical formats such as flammability diagrams, empirical formulas and safety considerations essential for handling, detecting, measuring and managing flammable gases and vapors. It supports the design of safer industrial processes, evaluates explosion hazards and helps develop effective preventive measures in environments containing combustible gases.
