  2. Detection of fire accelerants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detection_of_fire_accelerants

    [2] [3] Gasoline is the most common fire accelerant used, [3] but it could also be present at a scene as an ignitable liquid due to gasoline being a common fuel. Although ignitable liquids are the most common fire accelerants, other chemicals such as propane or natural gas could also be used to accelerate a fire.

    Take wood as an example. Finely divided wood dust can undergo explosive flames and produce a blast wave. A piece of paper (made from wood) catches on fire quite easily. A heavy oak desk is much harder to ignite, even though the wood fibre is the same in all three materials.

  4. Gas explosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_explosion

    A balloon filled with gaseous hydrogen exploding.. A gas explosion is the ignition of a mixture of air and flammable gas, typically from a gas leak. [1] In household accidents, the principal explosive gases are those used for heating or cooking purposes such as natural gas, methane, propane, butane.

    It has an explosive limit between 7.3% and 62% by volume in air, indicating a wide flammable range, which contributes to its high fire and explosion risk. With a vapor density of 2.1 (heavier than air) and a specific gravity of 1.14, nitromethane is a colorless, oily liquid that is slightly soluble in water but miscible with alcohol and ether.

    Potassium picrate – used in some whistle compositions, safer than gallic acid but still dangerous, with heavy metals (e.g. lead) forms explosive salts; Terephthalic acid – a fuel in some smoke compositions; Hexamine – a low-reactivity, accessory fuel; Anthracene – a fuel in some smoke compositions, produces black smoke

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flammability_limit

    Controlling gas and vapor concentrations outside the flammable limits is a major consideration in occupational safety and health. Methods used to control the concentration of a potentially explosive gas or vapor include use of sweep gas, an unreactive gas such as nitrogen or argon to dilute
