  2. Combustibility and flammability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combustibility_and...

    A non-combustible material [17] is a substance that does not ignite, burn, support combustion, or release flammable vapors when subject to fire or heat, in the form in which it is used and under conditions anticipated. Any solid substance complying with either of two sets of passing criteria listed in Section 8 of ASTM E 136 when the substance ...

  3. Helium - Wikipedia

    The Rollin film also covers the interior of the larger container; if it were not sealed, the helium II would creep out and escape. [30] Helium II is a superfluid, a quantum mechanical state of matter with strange properties. For example, when it flows through capillaries as thin as 10 to 100 nm it has no measurable viscosity. [28]

  4. List of gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gases

    This is a list of gases at standard conditions, which means substances that boil or sublime at or below 25 °C (77 °F) and 1 atm pressure and are reasonably stable. List [ edit ]

  5. Helium compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium_compounds

    Helium's first ionization energy of 24.57 eV is the highest of any element. [2] Helium has a complete shell of electrons, and in this form the atom does not readily accept any extra electrons nor join with anything to make covalent compounds. The electron affinity is 0.080 eV, which is very close to zero. [2]

  6. Lifting gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting_gas

    The Hindenburg disaster is frequently cited as an example of the safety risks posed by hydrogen. The extremely high cost of helium (compared to hydrogen) has led researchers to re-investigate the safety issues of using hydrogen as a lift gas, especially for vehicles not carrying passengers and being deployed away from populated areas.

  7. Flammability limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flammability_limit

    A 5% displayed LFL reading for methane, for example, would be equivalent to 5% multiplied by 4.4%, or approximately 0.22% methane by volume at 20 degrees C. Control of the explosion hazard is usually achieved by sufficient natural or mechanical ventilation, to limit the concentration of flammable gases or vapors to a maximum level of 25% of ...

  8. Liquid helium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_helium

    Liquid helium is a physical state of helium at very low temperatures at standard atmospheric pressures.Liquid helium may show superfluidity.. At standard pressure, the chemical element helium exists in a liquid form only at the extremely low temperature of −269 °C (−452.20 °F; 4.15 K).
