Determination of Gas-Vapor Release

Several test methods are available to determine the amount and temperature of the gases that will be released during a runaway, for example, the the ARC, the closed bomb, or the high-pressure autoclave. In these test methods, a small 

Concentrated organic peroxides, such as f-butyl peroxybenzoate (TBPB), have an F value of about 100 to 150 kj/kg. These compounds can produce a runaway ending in a deflagration. Dilution of the peroxide with the proper solvent will result in a considerable decrease of the F value because of the decrease in concentration of the active component and the decrease in the maximum temperature due to heating and evaporation of the solvent.
