Bomb oxidation stability

Oxidation stability (gasoline) (induction period) NFM 07-012 ISO/DlS 7536 ASTM D 525 Time necessary for a sample bomb under oxygen pressure to reach the critical induction point... 

There are a considerable number of oxidation and thermal stability tests, mirroring the complexity of the processes themselves. Oxidation tests used include the Indiana-stirred oxidation test [22], the rotary bomb oxidation by IP 229 and other standard procedures such as IP 48, IP 280 and IP 306. 

Numerous oxidation tests are available to screen vegetable oil oxidative stability including thin film oxygen uptake test (TFOUT, ASTM D 4/42), rotating bomb oxidation test (RBOT, ASTM D 2272), panel coker test, and pressurized differential scanning calorimetry (Biswas et al., 2007 Erhan et al., 2006 Sharma et al., 2005,... 

ASTM D942 Oxidation stability of lubricating by the oxygen bomb method (20)... 

The partial elimination of nuclear weapons has created an additional disposal problem. The thousands of weapons being dismantled contain thousands of kilograms of plutonium. Some of it is suitable for use in nuclear power plants. However, the less useful low-grade plutonium must be disposed of in a way that would not allow its use in weapons. One strategy being investigated is first to convert the plutonium into a hydride, which would allow its separation from other elements in the warhead or bomb. The hydride would then be converted to an oxide, which could be incorporated into a ceramic material containing neutron absorbers to stabilize the material further. 

Predisposition (stability) to oxidation can be estimated for fats by the active oxygen method (AOM), and for fat-containing products by the Schall oven test and the oxygen bomb method and as a function of oxygen absorption.
